Today we celebrate Kamala Harris who has been sworn in as Vice President of the United States - the first woman, first Black person, and first Asian American to hold the office. It is history (or rather her-story) in the making. Lady Blue Knights, dream it! It CAN happen!

[Remi @remithemathrat]

Had a student come into office hours today with the inauguration blasting in the background, and I'm not even mad about it

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Congratulations to my friend, President @JoeBiden! This is your time.

[Hume Fogg @HumeFoggKnights]

This was a hard secret to keep...but so well worth it! Thank you, Muralist @kimradford and @DollyParton. It is an honor to share in the recognition of Dolly’s contributions to literacy and education through this delightful work of art! #weloveDolly

A splendid view of the Peabody Esplanade 🤍 #MyPeabody

Ss were SO active today! honestly, they're helping me relearn the material, &they don't even know it. I haven't touched these topics since high school, &every day I learn something new. Today was the a-value of a parabola; i then relayed to my TC friends & we all learned today!

“It is so much easier teaching virtually than teaching in person, which is why teachers don’t want to go back.”

[Remi @remithemathrat]

not a hopeful outlook for in-person student teaching next semester, but definitely more concerned about the health of my students! Either way, I'm excited to continue learning from them.

[Metro Schools @MetroSchools]

Dr. Battle announced that all schools could return to virtual learning after Thanksgiving if progress is not made to stop the spread of COVID-19. https://t.co/dRHZHWlrMN

[Remi @remithemathrat]

our students need comfort! especially since it looks like they'll be home for a while!

[Megan Haase @teaachingmaath]

@CalcuChris @hypotemoosesyd @dameunyou plus this is currently us lesson planning... (now also ft @remithemathrat )

[Remi @remithemathrat]

One more week of practicum before I have to go home for break, and I'm gonna miss my students! They have taught me so much in my time thus far, and I can't wait to learn more from them when I get back. High schoolers have such a unique lens; I love figuring it out with them!

[Remi @remithemathrat]

This week, I saw an end of year assessment that had students make posters about all that they had learned in the past year. Not only is this a great way for students to get creative in the math environment, but it encourages them to show their favorite way to solve problems!

[Remi @remithemathrat]

@aguileramf @DanielBurkhold Coupling "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" and math sounds AMAZING. Definitely need to hear more about this!

[Remi @remithemathrat]

Definitely an interesting read! I wonder how this study would look vs a high school classroom.

[Martin A. Nuñez @Martin_A_Nunez]

A college class had 2 teachers: one male and one female

At the end of the semester, the students scored the male higher on course evaluations, while the female got FIVE times as many negative reviews

There’s just one problem: They were the SAME person.

@remithemathrat I like the balance this strikes between number (size) and color!

[Remi @remithemathrat]

representing counties and their votes as numerical instead of in color! lots of illinoisans are upset because it appears that “more than half of the population” voted for one candidate when, in fact, only 17% of the state voted for that candidate. numbers help!

[Megan Haase @teaachingmaath]

The typical representations (red/blue counties, % remaining) often do a disservice to the orders of magnitude of difference present in seemingly similar situations during an election.

This graph provided me some clarity. What else should we be using to better represent the data?

[Remi @remithemathrat]

math is reeeeallly powerful 👀

[Here Occasionally ⁷ @jmstaehyungie]

The math is mathing actually

[Remi @remithemathrat]

Had a student today totally stop me in the middle of a warm up because they had no idea what was going on, & I wish I could be as brave in my own classes! Asking for help is hard, but being behind because you don’t understand the basics is harder. Love seeing my students shine 🤩

[Remi @remithemathrat]

This is such a good read! As a student, I often feel like discussion boards are forced; time to make them interesting!

[Education Week @educationweek]

But how do you accomplish this?

Two educators share their effective strategies for using online student discussion boards. #EWOpinion https://t.co/FGVexS5n9P

[Remi @remithemathrat]

We had pet show/tell in advisory today & it definitely made my day brighter! small dogs, fat cats, hedgehogs, hamsters, snails; you name it, they've got it! getting to know what the students care about definitely makes it easier to connect with them during this weird time.

[Remi @remithemathrat]

I'm the most strict schedule-following & plan-making person I know, and this pandemic throws a wrench RIGHT in all of that. Going with the flow is not my forte, but I guess this prepares me for all the things that will get in my way in the classroom! You win some, you lose some!
