I’m angry. And profoundly disappointed with Advanced Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides 🇨🇦 🇨🇾 and his handling of the Athabasca University situation. Why? Let me lay this out for you. #AthabascaU

I added the 12th and final video to my free online PD on algebra manipulatives (including a Lab Gear / algebra tiles comparison). mathed.page/manipulatives/… The whole set: mathed.page/manipulatives/… #mtbos #iteachmath #mathed

I really loved how "Let's Make Squares" activity from Sarah Carter turned out today. Lead to conversations about problem-solving strategies, definitions, and proofs. And a lot of vocabulary. Here are 5 and 7 squares. #mtbos #iteachmath

Students worked cooperatively to create a nest that would keep an egg safe and warm. #FreshAirFriday SilverSprings School

If you have a great idea about teaching but don’t teach full time, a good heuristic to use is to finish your suggestion with ‘and here’s how you can do that and still teach 20 periods a week…’. If you can’t finish that sentence you are likely to be ignored, and rightly so.

Early numeracy and outdoor math learning. I love nature counting collections idea! #wearecbe #cbemath

How long do the gorgeous fall colors stay around in October in Edmonton? Will the trees still have their canopy next weekend? #Yeg

Math for Love Timothy Gowers @wtgowers I agree Dan, I feel it's intended for exploration. It made me think of one of Jonathan Hall's amazing resources "Average and Range Tiles" #MTBoS #ITeachMath #Maths #STEM mathsbot.com/manipulatives/…

Number sense first! Always! Here's an idea I tweeted a while ago. Develop a sense of quantity before focus on procedures.

Sum up Skeletons. An engaging way to think about number bonds to 10, skip counting and trading in. “Oh, if I trade this 9 I can get what I need to make 10’s so I can skip count.” SilverSprings School

Trying to find some options for part-time university studies and it's getting frustrating. Why is post-secondary education still focused on full-time ed? I can't be the only professional contemplating upgrading/career change. More education options needed for working adults.
