Literal Equations warmup today, October 3: L = (DNE - t)/i - m Solve for DNE

I brought a liter of water to school on Saturday for our open house event. I finished it today. I drank a liter of water over 5 days. No time to drink, no time to pee. That’s the story of my year.

Do you say “equal sign” or “equals sign?” #mtbos #iteachmath

I watched the Snow Plow game as a 16 year old in 1982. This feels the same. #MIAvsNE

I’m starting 2-column proofs this year with the headings “I know this…” and “because…” We’ll eventually move to statement/reason but let’s see how this goes.

I wanted something warming for dinner but didn’t have much I like so I air fried a bag of baby carrots and dipped them in sweet chili sauce. Not bad.

A Brief History of Students Today Aren’t Prepared for College 🧵

Never have I ever: Bought anything that was advertised while I was playing a game app.

I perfectly timed my double whammy vaccinations to precede a wet, rainy Sunday. Best rest I’ve had since summer!

Kamala, every morning

Today seniors took SATs so I had a small group of top juniors in Precalc where they did a Super Junior Challenge: 10 hard questions, answer as many as you can by the end of class. I now call them The Cabinet. They worked so well together! “Doing hard math is so satisfying!”

A student asked today why squaring both sides of an equation is allowed. Like: Sqrt(x - 7) = 12 If you square both sides, you’re multiplying the left by sqrt(x - 7) but the right by 12. Fascinating question. I have an answer. What’s yours?

In senior class musings “Settle our argument: Is it dagnabbit, or dang rabbit?”

Is partitioning a line segment into a given ratio in your state standards (probably geometry)? #iteachmath #mtbos

My approach to teaching might slightly improve your students’ achievement and understanding, sometimes. Said no book ever.

Thank you, all men who care about women.

By the time I had texted my 2 grown sons this morning, they had already bites. 💙💙💙💙

I was going to drink a beer as polls close but opted for tea instead. Not sure if that was the right move or not.

You can’t PROJECT that it’s too early to call!!! That’s not breaking news!!

It was the men. It was all the men. You blamed a few small cross-sections of female voters for years. But all along it was the MEN.
