I was just at Monet's home in Giverny yesterday. Absolutely beautiful.

Day 2 of my 7th grade students enjoying the @intelino trains. Today they built an epic multi-level track. Then they added various coding commands using the included color chips. #stem #iteachmath

Hello #iteachmath. If you haven't seen it already, there is a new, mathy daily game from NYT Games called Pips.

I saw this a few years ago and it blew my mind. I really like the middle one, not sure what's going on on the right one.

A student of mine created a really cool remix of this project - one of the coolest things I have seen done on #scratch Try it here - play with the numbers in the move and turn blocks to get some interesting results: scratch.mit.edu/projects/119...

Today was my last day as a teacher after 36 years in my school district. I am looking forward to further adventures and opportunities in education. Stay tuned... #iteachmath #iteachcs

On Sunday, I will run the San Diego Rock 'n' Roll Marathon, while my adult children will run the half marathon. We are raising money for the Alzheimer’s Association in honor of my father and my mother-in-law, who died last year after a 3-year battle with dementia.

In three days, I will run my 6th marathon, but it will be my first in 14 years. A short thread. #iteachmath #running #marathon #ENDALZ #RunRocknRoll

Hello #iteachmath, I am working on a game in #scratch called TENtris. It has Tetris-style gameplay, with the goal of making totals of 10 with falling digits. I would love it if you can have your students try it and provide some constructive feedback (TIA): scratch.mit.edu/projects/1130837008
