I am more fully convinced each day that I have the opportunity to create equity in the world by teaching mathematics.

Hey General Mills! Can we collaborate on some SHAPES fruit snacks? Perhaps Pattern Block? My colleagues at Public Math and I are ready to brainstorm! Call us maybe? Following in case you wanna DM!

Can anyone recommend a really good history of mathematics course online? #mtbos It needs to be a course because I need continuing Ed credits. Thanks!

#mtbos Suggestions for SEL/icebreaker activities respecting social distancing and masks? About math or just to ease students back into socializing. Middle school. Thanks for any suggestions!

#AKedchat Hi! I’m Alex and I have taught middle school math in Kodiak for 13 years. The short answer of how I got here is love! I’m from NY and met my husband in 1994 at UAF. But we didn’t fall in love and get married until 2007!

#AKedchat A3 Myfavorite place is Shelley Lake in the way to Sheraton Mountain in Kodiak. I know it well - I got lost on the mountain and had to get rescued by a friend!

Was that a debate or my 7th period class? They need a middle school teacher to moderate this chaos. #PresidentialDebate2020 #PresidentialDebate

I’m at the point in the year where every middle school student thinks the answer to a math problem must be 69 or 420. 🤦‍♀️ Hello, puberty!

A student just asked a great question: “if it’s an unknown, why don’t we use “u” instead of “x” so we don’t confuse x with times?” #MTBoS Thoughts?

I’m horrified at all the posts about enforcing a dress code in schools but not masks. In my school district in Alaska, kids can show up in ripped jeans and tank tops, as long as they show up to school and are ready to learn. But a mask is required. Priorities.

I’ve been doing weekly math challenges for a while with my students. I’m opening them up to friends who follow me on IG who aren’t necessarily math teachers just to foster fun problem solving in my community. What are good small prizes to give out to adults? #iteachmath #MTBoS

Is anyone else here required to use Into Math 6-12? Suggestions for making it less “fill in the blank” and more constructivist/open-ended math? I teach 6th. Thanks. #mtbos #iteachmath

You know you're a teacher when you see the word "kinder" and you initially pronounce it as the first part of "kindergarten."
