Made a Starter Pack of *current* K-12 math classroom teachers. Let me know if you should be added (or removed). go.bsky.app/35M7izP

Car Brain should probably be recognized as an official mental disorder by the American Psychiatric Association.

Big news for me, #iteachmath friends. After 25 years in the classroom, I've started a job as a math coach for Innovamat, a pretty new curriculum in the US market. 😯 1 week in & I've already had the pleasure of visiting 5 classrooms at 2 schools, & interacting with ~40 additional Ts in PD sessions.

It's nice to see the American League beating the Dodgers.

Shopping at Best Buy should be an automatic deal-breaker for being elected President. "As someone who lives near a Best Buy, I'm at Best Buy often," Newsom told reporters during a news conference. Gavin Newsom Proposes a California Digital Software Tax - share.google/SvZsvFYrhgoZ...

This is a great example of "blame inversion" (coined by @ashtonindc.bsky.social) where danger very clearly caused by cars is blamed on anything else: parents letting their kids play outside, kids riding bikes, etc.

The Democrats and Republicans are playing a game of basketball, except the Democrats only get to put 4 players on the court, they only get 1 point for field goals, and in the off-season the refs go on luxury vacations with--and paidfor by--the Republicans. (Is this talking like normal people?)

How are my teacher friends who use Canvas doing?

This is the first time in quite some time that I have no idea who I'm going to vote for in an election that is a month away, and this CA governor debate isn't helping me so far. 🤷‍♂️

Is this what Obama means by telling Dems to talk more like normal people? Leave erudite talk of academic concepts like kindness, empathy, and fairness to the dusty halls of elite college seminar rooms?

Teachers, imagine a (very hypothetical) tool that gives students and teachers quick, accurate, equitable, and high quality feedback to a wide-range of question and answer types. As much as grading sucks, do you think we would we lose something by not going through the slow, human grading process?

Hey @sfgiants.com and Larry Bae. Big fan here, but not a big fan of my team being partially owned by a bunch of fascists. This really feels like a pretty low bar in terms of expectations.

Is there anything I can do as a Giants fan to throw sand in the gears of this?

$600 is 6000% of $10 $600 is 5900% more than $10 $600 is a 5900% increase from $10 $600 is a 5900% markup on a $10 item $10 is ~1.7% of $600 $10 is ~98.3% less than $600 $10 is a ~98.3% decrease from $600 $10 is a ~98.3% markdown on a $600 item The percent difference between $10 and $600 is ~193.4%

More evidence of the downfall of math teaching in private schools. 😂

I wonder if there's some universe where a Broken Calculator puzzle posed by a math teacher inspired the EML function.

Is Arsenal going to blow it this season?

California or California-curious math teachers: Don't forget to submit conference proposals for CMC-South! ♾️

Sadly, this didn't seem to hurt Hertz's bottom line. It probably helps them that every single car rental agency is a complete mess.

The below image is fake. This is frustrating bc we have to be skeptical of everything, to think hard about moon phases & corresponding "Earth phases", to look closely & recognize half of Africa is missing. So when we do see an amazing image of space (there are lots!), we can't just enjoy it.

Saw the play The Monsters at Berkeley Rep last night, which has been aptly described as "hits hard and hugs harder." Ngozi Anyanwu (also the playwright) & Sullivan Jones were incredible in physically and mentally demanding roles, and I left wanting to just go home and cuddle with my 7-year old boy.

Ugh. So many candidates for CA governor, and yet I appear to be running out of people I'd consider voting for.

I'd love some data to do some testing on a project I'm working on. Reach out if you have questions.

Calling all teachers! 🍎 I’m looking for PDFs of scanned, graded student work (HW, tests, projects, rubrics, etc) across all subjects and grades. Class sets are ideal. DM me if you can help or need my email! Re privacy: I won't share student names, & this doesn't need to be current or recent work. ♾️

Pretty sure I remember in the not so distant past Republicans calling for resignations over dropping the F bomb, and that wasn't even in the context of dropping real bombs and openly threatening war crimes.

Today's Supreme Court ruling conflating medical (mal)practice as free speech is one of the worst decisions of my lifetime, a lifetime that includes Bush v Gore.
