Gorgeous day in the Columbia River Gorge in OR! #fakespring#oregon

Donald Trump and JD Vance at the most recent meeting w/the leader of Ukraine…

A good distilation of the predatory, morally bankrupt behavior of Trump and Vance toward Ukraine. Incredibly shameful and lacking any values… podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

My pile of books at the end of the day! #iteachmath

Glorious (and short) visit to Lake Tahoe!

Great quote from an article I read recently, “They mistrusted the idea of knowledge as a developing process.”

Wonderful story about the courage of an individual in the face of an unjust system…

Thanks a lot, Trump!

Fantastic conversation with the legendary Vicki Jacobs! Key idea: Understanding the meaning students make of our questions has big ramifications for building conceptual understanding and math identity. www.mathlearningcenter.org/blog/dr-vict...

DOGE recommended firing workers at: -FDA, which oversees Neuralink -FAA, which oversees SpaceX -USAID, which probed Starlink -CFPB, which oversees Tesla's financing arm and a potential payment platform on X. "Conflict of interest" is a severe understatement.

Well written article in the Atlantic. It’s shameful and sickening to watch this administration engage in a foreign policy devoid of moral values.

I was (I think) prepared for the level of coreuption we are seeing from this administration. I was not prepared to see a bunch of unelected 20 year old bozos and Elon Musk mucking around in private IRS ans social security data of millions of Americans. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/u...

Really disgusting attempt to whitewash diverse members of society from history and from recognizing heritage and culture… www.nytimes.com/2025/02/17/u...

Jesus, on the current state of affairs in the U.S….

Wait, whats happening here?! I thought this was supposed to be fixed on day 1!! www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/b...

Worth noting the difference between what was the #1 issue in the campaign and the focus of Trump’s first 3 weeks in office. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/12/b...

Me: I'm a math teacher. Them: Oh, I hated math in school. Also, what's with this new way of teaching math? Why don't they just teach it the way we were taught? Me:

Fantastic conversation with Karisma Morton. Key Idea: What would it mean if we (educators) discarded the notion that some of our students are math people while others are not? And, what would it look like in our daily practice? #iteachmath podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r...

What could possibly go wrong? And Im certain this will help with inflation and the price of eggs, right? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

Important reading. This is unprecedented and folks need to understand the impact. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/03/u...

A some point you need to ask who the actual president is… sohttps://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/02/us/politics/usaid-official-leave-musk.html?smid=nytcore-ios-sharet

For people feeling despair, this is a helpful reframe of what we see hapoening in Trump 2. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Classic behavior from our armchair quarterback in chief. Blaming and complaining rather than doing a damn thing about inflation, housing prices, or the price of groceries… #armchairquarterbackinchief

Fabulous conversation about helping young learners build productive partnerships in the context of an elementary math classroom! #iteachmath www.mathlearningcenter.org/blog/sue-kim...

Shame.

Fantastic read!

I've not seen this yet, but heard good reviews! #iteachmath www.countedoutfilm.com

I loved this conversation about math trauma with Kasi Allen. Key idea: Math anxiety centers the issue in the person. Math trauma centers the issue on the conditions the person has experienced. #iteachmath www.mathlearningcenter.org/blog/dr-kasi...

Fascinating article… www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

I loved this conversation about building a meaningful understanding of shape with young learners. #iteachmath podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r...

I want to highlight some fabulous work by Dr. Marrielle Myers. This is (in my opinion) a lovely contribution to the field of elementary mathematics education. #iteachmath Visit www.marleelovesmath.com

James Brickwedde has been a friend and mentor for many years. I'm excited we could have him on this podcast to talk about using language that supports a meaningful understanding of mathematics. #iteachmath. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r...

I loved this interview with Jody and Chepina. Really thoughtful ideas about building a culture of justification and argumentation with our youngest learners. #iteachmath. www.mathlearningcenter.org/blog/jody-gu...
