Started a second instagram account to highlight my #mathmusings as they appear in everyday life. I would love if the #mtbos could take a look and let me know your thoughts https://t.co/XES3Fl2UIH

How many? How do you know? #howmany #unitchat

@AsymptoticLiz @iteachmathAll So is it sushi? A calzone? Soup rotated on its side?

The students also helped the bunny add positive and negative integers by telling him where to go on the number line.

Trying to use visuals and manipulatives virtually ... splat and algebra tiles to the rescue!!! #mtbos #iteachmath

Attended such a fun session tonight with @MoMath1 featuring Roderick Kimball’s home made puzzles! The 11yo and I had fun and I can’t wait to bring some of these to my own (virtual) classroom https://t.co/Ja5AzFJ9Me #mtbos #iteachmath

I just found adding and subtracting using a number line on @MrDeltaMath and I am in heaven 😍🤩😍🤩 just what I need for my intro to algebra students #mtbos #iteachmath

Twitter, we need your help!

We have an idea for @cheezit but they cannot accept confidential ideas, so we have to make it public.

Check out the thread and let them know that you want to live in a world where mathematical CHEEZ-ITS exist. 📢

The 9yo decided to do a little morning #math by sorting his fruit snacks by flavor. He noticed that the amount of strawberries was the same as all the other flavors combined. #mtbos

@Audrey_Mendivil I have a 4th grader who is missing his friends too! Would love a pen pal 📝

[Mrs. Gallagher @mathynerd]

@mathequalslove Oh my goodness! Glad to hear you are on the road to recovery and have such a positive attitude :)
You are not alone, I broke my ankle the one time we ventured out this quarantine for a hike on my 11 yo b-day 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m still sporting a walking boot

@howie_hua Leslie Knope because she has so much passion! I don’t even care what she’s talking about, I’m sure that her passion would make any subject interesting.

[Mrs. Gallagher @mathynerd]

Today our library did a #mathart session. We had so much fun making patterns using styrofoam, toothpicks, and loom bands! #iteachmath #mtbos

[Mrs. Gallagher @mathynerd]

@howie_hua Try to use as few measuring cups/spoons as possible. Sometimes that means converting 1/2 to 1/4+1/4. Sometimes it means converting 2 tablespoons into 6 teaspoons.

Here is a link to the site that explains more about what today is about. https://t.co/C9oQWSatrZ

As a Black STEM educator whose labor is devalued within higher education & society writ large, I am proud to opt out of all institution required or suggested labor today. Class is cancelled. Meetings are cancelled. https://t.co/0a0WCcPT45 #ShutDownAcademia #ShutDownSTEM

[Mrs. Gallagher @mathynerd]

Today I would like to participate in #ShutDownAcademia by starting to read the books I purchased and researching online how to have a better classroom when we return in fall. Picture is from Octavia Spencer #mtbos

[Mrs. Gallagher @mathynerd]

Here are some places I am looking to find things to help me be a better teacher:

For those looking to build up their "Anti-Racism in Math Education" list (ahem, that's all of us... right?), @mathhombre is curating quite the list:

[Mrs. Gallagher @mathynerd]

@anniek_p Thank you for sharing your journey. I think that @Mathgarden might have some recommendations of good resources for you to tie in more math history to your teachings. Looking forward to ALL you share :)

[Mrs. Gallagher @mathynerd]

Two other books I have in my list are:

So You want to talk about race by Ijeoma Oluo and
Why are all the black kids sitting together in the cafeteria by Beverly Daniel Tatum

#blackouttuesday

[Mrs. Gallagher @mathynerd]

#blackouttuesday when purchasing books, make sure to research local bookstores, research black owned bookstores. There are several lists online of places you can support.

I know most of you put your stickers on your laptop but I’m more of a clipboard kind of gal. This is my second clipboard of stickers, recently added #tmwyk #mtbos
