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 instagram.com/mathmusings/
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 enigami.fun/about #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. 📢
Today our library did a #mathart session. We had so much fun making patterns using styrofoam, toothpicks, and loom bands! #iteachmath #mtbos
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
Here is a link to the site that explains more about what today is about. xitter.cf/chrisemdin/status/1270…
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. shutdownstem.com/ #ShutDownAcademia #ShutDownSTEM
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:

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
#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 made these today while staring at my students (via my computer) while they took their final. #mtbos #mathartchallenge
Who else is having an inverse pencil problem while #distancelearning? At school I always "lend" out my pencils only to have them never return. At home I find > 10 pencils a day left in random spots around the house by my children #iteachmath #mtbos
To prep for today’s Morning Math w/ the Gallaghers, the oldest and I went on a quick #scavengerhunt for #Fibonacci numbers in nature! We found lots of 5’s, some 8’s and even a 13! We would love to see your Fibonacci in Nature pictures #mtbos #iteachmath #beautyofmaths
Our Algebra 2 class is doing a conics picture project for their distance learning assessment and I just got the BEST comment from a student! I'm so glad they are seeing the #beautyofmaths @Desmos #mtbos #iteachmath
Today we tackled TWO #mathartchallenge prompts in my Morning Math videos for my students. First, we made tessellations and second we tackled isometric illusions (which my 10 yo LOVED to say). #mtbos
Greyson was shocked and overjoyed that I was able to get THE @anniek_p to send him a birthday #mathartchallenge postcard! Thank you for making his day special 🥰
