I updated my Desmos Classroom activity on Native American Beadwork and Geometry to add in some work belonging to my students and to take advantage of Desmos geometry tool. teacher.desmos.com/activitybuilde… #iteachmath #mtbos

My youngest and I are making scrambled eggs with Star Wars Blue Milk in them tonight. This is what happens when there is a lack of adult supervision. 😂

Here’s what I want for teacher appreciation week. An end to standardized tests and the $1.7 billion spent each year on these tests redirected into classrooms.

A simple act of kindness can have a huge impact. He didn’t have to stop. He didn’t have to give her the jersey. He made my wife’s day and made her feel like the most important person in the world. #ChooseKindness

District wide convocation to start the school year. 2 hours of sitting in the bleachers of a gym resulted in some mi or back spasms for me for the rest of the day. I guess I might have to start the year on either “injured reserve” or “physically unable to perform” list 😉

Disappointed to see a good educator and an even better person get treated the way Jenna Laib is being treated. It’s sad that people are so petty. Keep on providing great math lessons and don’t worry about the trolls. #iteachmath

To subject another person to this kind of treatment is unconscionable. I hope I never run into the person that started this. It would be difficult to be kind to them. Classy response by Jenna Laib

At a high school homecoming game. During the anthem 4 senior football players helped bring out flags of the 7 tribal nations behind the American Flag. Now it’s halftime and the homecoming queen is marching in a pink dress because she’s also head of the drum corps.

Today my Math Lab students made beadwork earrings. Before this we did a lesson on Rigid Transformations in Native American beadwork and a lesson on the history of beadwork. Here are some pictures of their work today.

It’s not to late to apply for the new cohort of the Desmos Classroom Fellows program. It has been the most rewarding professional experience of my career. #ITeachMath

I updated my Super Bowl Prop Bets activity for this year. If you use it, let me know how your class did. teacher.desmos.com/activitybuilde…

I have the results from the Super Bowl Prop Bets activity with my classes. We would have lost almost $700. Glad we didn’t bet. Here’s the sheet. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…
