Kamala Harris (@kamalaharris) 's Twitter Profile Photo

I prosecuted sex predators. Trump is one. I shut down for-profit scam colleges. He ran one. I held big banks accountable. He's owned by them. I'm not just prepared to take on Trump, I'm prepared to beat him.

Super excited about tomorrow's convo with this all-star group of experts. Still time to sign up! Come find out which ed tech promises are warranted and which are (again?) overblown.

I'm still thinking about standard algorithms and their impact on student thinking. Here's a nice deep dive into how standard algorithms can actually impede student reasoning and understanding. researchgate.net/publication/25…

From Georgia to Ohio to Utah to Oregon to Washington state, see how these states, and others, are updating math courses to align with the data skills that students need to stay engaged and competitive in college and beyond. Check out our latest blog: bit.ly/3VnMvx4

Two things I believed: 1. Students start out in a variety of places, some far ahead of others. 2. Students learn at a variety of rates, some whipping through content, others .. not so much. Data sugges one of these is wrong. Read more... MAA mathvalues.org/masterblog/the…

This month's Kung's Quarter on MAA MathValues takes a break from policy and veers intensely personal. How are Taylor Swift, teenage swearing, Platonism, and the professional hazards of being a mathematician related? mathvalues.org/masterblog/the…

Loved getting a shout out from Dr Eugenia Cheng --no advice please-- during her opening plenary at #NCTMCHI24. Here's the #TEDx talk she mentioned - that when we just tell students what's true mathematically we are enabling authoritarian tendencies. youtu.be/Nel5PF8jtsM?si…

Maryland is taking action to improve math achievement. The new state policy strengthens instruction, expands advanced math access, and ensures all students receive the support they need to learn the fundamentals and achieve success. Great news!
