It's a sad truth. I love books like Connecting Arithmetic to Algebra (Schifter, Russell, & Bastable). We HAVE help students make connections to Algebra BEFORE they get to Algebra! Algebra shouldn't be the scary monster lurking at the end of middle school/beginning of high school. #ElemMathChat

After “taking apart numbers and putting them back together” I would add “so you can use them flexibly.” I think many teachers think if they teach students how to take numbers apart and put them back they have number sense. Isolating number sense ideas is a common issue I see. #elemmathchat

One of my favorite things in the world is when a friend who is not in edu spaces comes across something mathematically baffling, and their first instinct is, "I will reach out to Shelby because she will help me make sense of this." Idk why, it just makes me really happy to be that person for them.

Do I know anyone with resources (or can point me in the direction of resources) for a somewhat independent study Discrete Math course? Something for students who could use enrichment that is off the traditional AGA pathway.

Very much true. @cnygren.bsky.social and I wrote here. www.publicbooks.org/four-frictio...

Another difference is who is directing the violence.
Once, universities saw their computational power exploited by researchers working for the Department of Defense. Today, universities are being infiltrated by a commercial industry (albeit one that receives a staggering amount of money from defense contracts) that exploits students and faculty as data mines, test subjects, and a perpetual supply depot of future users, all for their own profit.

MaPP Challenge @ MathFest 2026 — Test Team
E.V.I.L. Scheduling
E.V.I.L.'s head of agent operations is Dr. Corrine Eyam. She has a strange method for scheduling meetings among E.V.I.L. agents: she draws a graph showing agents as nodes and meetings as edges. She colors the edges depending on which day the meeting will happen.

In the example on the left, agents 1 and 2 meet Saturday, 5 and 6 meet Wednesday, 1 and 5 meet Friday, and so forth.

(Pictures show graphs, and associate the days Monday-Saturday with six colors.)

What’s so brazen is that the subhead literally spells out the travesty. It says that tech industry lobbyists have convinced congress to pay for their products to be made a compulsory part of public education so that when the industry wreaks havoc on American workers it can be blamed on educators.

People in the south are not stupid, politically unengaged, nor are they apathetic to what is going on. They are HEAVILY disenfranchised. THAT is how the South, stays red. It’s not because everyone there is staunchly republican, but because they purposefully disenfranchise anyone that isn’t.
