I went back to work today after a 3+ month maternity leave and was greeted with so much excitement and love from my students and coworkers ❤️ It’s hard to be away from my baby, but it’s also great to love what you do so much that it’s easy to come back to 🥹

The kids had a half day so I brought Addie in to meet some of my teacher friends and see my classroom 🥹 it was so much fun to show her off! …and I’m very glad to still have a month left of maternity leave 😅

I did in fact make it through the first two weeks of school (and then some 😅). Our baby girl, Addie, was born in early September 💕 it’s been very bizarre not being in a classroom, but I’m soaking up every minute of maternity leave with her!

Fellow math teachers who have been on maternity leave: Has anyone had a sub that was NOT a math teacher? It seems like there’s a good chance at least some of my classes may be covered by, essentially, a warm body for the semester I’ll be out for. I’m having a hard time planning for that. #mtbos ♾️

Such a great day 2 at #wmc25. All the sessions I attended left me feeling excited and ready to make changes, the sun was shining, and I got to connect with lots of wonderful math educators!! This place fills my soul every year ❤️ #iteachmath

We covered arithmetic sequences and series in my honors sophomore class today. A bunch of them said “thanks for planning something easy for today!” 1) I’d argue they aren’t always “easy”, they’re just very intuitive 😁 2) We just got done covering rational functions, so I guess I’d agree 🤣 ♾️

So there has been more outrage and suggestions to protect CEOs from being killed in the last weeks, but not a damn thing done for years related to kids and teachers being killed in school buildings. Do I have that right????

I love the big puzzles in the NYT Thanksgiving weekend issue! Some of these are very difficult (I don’t even know where to start with some of the other ones 😅) but I love that they’re excellent examples of logic and counterexamples!! #ITeachMath ♾️

I listen to a podcast called Fantasy Fangirls and they are currently doing a deep dive on the last ACOTAR book, which involves a character climbing up/down a spiral staircase. Each episode the hosts use math to figure out how many miles she walks up and down the stairs, and it’s amazing 🤣 ♾️

There’s a lot of notifications, I tried to follow back names/handles I remember from the bad place, but I left that place a long time ago and maybe missed you in the look just now. If we interacted back in the day and I didn’t follow back, give me a light nudge here so I can fix that situation.

Okay so it’s actually going so much better than it past years?? One of the differences is that I have higher expectations for this group than I have in past years. After teaching this class a few times, I’ve learned they can give me more. I’ve also connected to their prior learning much better.

I’m looking for a fun and short activity to do with my freshmen to introduce/reintroduce exponential functions! We have short classes on Fridays so I’m looking for something we can finish in 40 min. I was thinking about doing something with Sierpinski Triangles. Anyone have an activity made? ♾️

My freshmen have their first test coming up this week, so today we broke up into groups and came up with important notes and examples from each section. Then they did a gallery walk and recorded notes on a summary sheet. I was so impressed with them! 🥹 #mtbos #iteachmath
