there’s probably a good reason this is such a vivid memory 😅😬

I hear that and appreciate you taking the time to read, even if it didn’t land for you!

thanks for reading - I’m glad you were able to connect with it!

Math Needs More Musos In high school, I played the guitar. I had three major influences, the first of whom was my guitar teacher, James Brown. Yes, that was his name. He had the patience of a saint… literally. I was alw…

✏️ NEW BLOG POST ✏️

I need to be less concerned with being better at writing and more concerned with hitting PUBLISH.

I *think* this is about teaching math.

this is my favourite cover

lol I actually love this.

thanks for sharing, Karen! nice little nugget.

Dot Paper Task A low-tech task with high-level thinking

This was a delight to read 💕

It made me want 2 things:

1️⃣ to be back in 4th grade
2️⃣ to be in Fawn’s class

thanks for reading (and sharing!)

When Problem Solving Leads To Problem Stalling So much of mathematics is focused on the end point: the answer, the solution, the proof. We attach so much emphasis on the destination — the more efficient the better. We place such high value on t…

Simple, but Rich: Fraction Talk Patterns I love John Mason and although I’ve even quoted it myself a few times, I think I don’t wholeheartedly agree with the statement “it is the ways of thinking that are rich, not the task itself&#…

whoa that’s fun!

A math problem stating: Look at the pattern below: 30, 60, 90... If the pattern continues, what will be the 6th number in the pattern? Choose 1 answer, but it’s crossed out to say “Choose every answer” a) 30 b) 180 c) 150 d) 120

A coordinate plane showing the graphs of 3 absolute value functions each passing through the points (1,30), (2,60), and (3,90). the first one also passes through the point (6,30), second one through (6,120) and the third one through (6,150).

inspired by a post from @themathcollective.bsky.social — what if they were ALL correct?

maybe a fun prompt for Algebra 1 teachers teaching absolute value functions 🤔

I have to admit I only really picked this form up when I became a teacher.

I love it because I feel like I can create any line I want – particularly useful for creating math art. I wonder if that could be a way in?

everyone needs to hear this, not just today.

keen for tomorrow!

yep! (“f f f” not shown intentionally)
