A former teacher and mentor of mine was laid to rest today. RIP Frank Roessner, 1949-2025. https://t.co/NxBtHmoWnK

In general I never post on social media. For this I’ll make an exception. Special edition: Binghamton loses one of its finest https://t.co/KFTrXvj5Oq

Every once in a while I remember to dust off the old Twitter account and share something. My new book, From Box Scores to Test Scores: Turning gameday stats into everyday math skills is now available on Amazon. Check it out! https://t.co/1ZNxNtgL9r

Dusting off the old “Twitter” handle to advertise this one… Thursday morning (that’s July 4!) I’ll be reciting the Declaration of Independence at Claude Moore Park in Sterling, Virginia, as part of its Fourth of July celebration. Show starts at 10:30!

@small_signals I once played 4 gigs in 4 states in 48 hours. At that rate in one year I could have played in 730 states. Not counting D.C. Yet.

I didn't grow up dreaming of being a middle school math teacher. But I can't imagine doing anything else now. The story of how it came about is here. https://t.co/wyBfCdPjde

@sloonis That's actually example #1 when I try to describe "irony" to middle-school students.

New episode of Math and Musings here. Because I use Twitter only for promoting my own content. https://t.co/DevW9zUn3q

[Michael O'Connell @MOCmathclass]

Grand opening today: Check out my new podcast, Math and Musings, by clicking below or searching it up on the Spotify. Not affiliated with school and definitely not for a grade. Just for fun. Because everyone needs a hobby. https://t.co/O3NbB3O9HJ

@sloonis @ShawnRobare I still haven't found the mature appreciation yet for fruit. And that apple doesn't fall far from the tree, to quote from my son this morning: "I like fruit... in Pop Tarts."

[Michael O'Connell @MOCmathclass]

@BSmile That was a who's who of my childhood heroes.

@sloonis Hand soap... will it give one more squeeze?
