If executive branch creates a system so that people under government control can be located and then just stops listing some people in that system — despite their still being under government control — that should be a five-alarm fire for the other branches, the states, and the public.

Two variations of the teacher programming at the secondary level (grades 6-12): A special educator can either cohort a group of students, following the same class through multiple subjects OR They can specialize in a content area, following the same co-teacher through different classes #ITeachMath

This. Accessibility in terms of being able to get access to games in the first place isn’t evenly distributed. I had same experience as a kid. Second hand games, second or third hand consoles. That is all going away and it’s creating another pointless economic barrier to participating in culture

This paper has been a REALLY long time coming. It's about a course I taught for many years called Tools of Inquiry, in which I try to teach students to ask and explore their own mathematical questions, including with technology. It's a little like an introduction to research experience at scale!

I cannot draw for my life. My bad, nowhere to scale drawings were a central component (and regular source of laughter) of my classes. But I also see a difference between hand drawings and publications. This feels particularly aggregious... I would prefer acute angles < 80-100°< obtuse....

Excellent post! I really like your thoughts on making teacher moves more diagnostic & less procedural. Especially this: *require* students to show their understanding, don't rely on self-report of understanding. #iTeachMath
The real move I had to learn was to stop asking students to report their understanding and start requiring them to show their understanding (or misunderstanding!). All students, simultaneously, in a form that provides useful data about the entire class.

After being delayed 3+ hours in MSP, & assuring us that Orange County was extending their curfew for us, when we were about an hour out, they told us we got diverted to LAX because orange county revoked the extension. Luckily, they're gonna send us to SNA in a shuttle bus, but I'm exhausted.

Hot take: Asking students to copy down examples in #MathsToday does more harm than good. Crutch: "I don't need to try to remember/understand now as, I'm writing it down". Cognitive load: "I stop thinking about the maths to start copying". Gap widening: "I'm a slow writer, I never get to ask Qs".

#ITeachMath & this math ain't mathing!! How the heck did they get this washer in?? How are we supposed to get it out?? Talk about a PIVOT moment!! (Friends reference) Too bad the doorway was too tight for us to rotate it at all, or I would Pythagorean Theorem our way out.
A washing machine in a bathroom doorway is stuck against a diagonal wall, preventing it from coming out of the bathroom more than a few inches. The door was removed from its hinges to fit & the washing machine touches both sides of the doorway.
