The Clash’s ‘Lost In The Supermarket’ recasts the giddy highs of the Modern Lover's ‘Roadrunner’ as a dehumanized forced march through suburban hellscapes and special offers. Maybe the best song written about the acute, paradoxical loneliness of the high consumer age. www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZw2...
Lots of women doing very interesting mathematics… I wonder why there hasn’t been a female laureate? 🤔#MathSky #iTeachMath
2- for work. I had to carry the bag phone when I was on duty. Didn’t have a personal one for a couple of years after and that would be a 3.
With you!
Adding math thinking into class routines throughout the day helps elementary students build vocabulary and cement their learning! 💭

The famous Andor line is that "tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle." Here is a perfect example of that through malicious compliance: Idaho forced the city of Boise to remove its Pride flags. So the city painted rainbows everywhere else.
white text on a green background "selling safety: a journalist's guide to covering police technology
A reminder that we put out a report that explains the shady ways technology companies are marketing and selling their devices to police, including how they come up with the claims of effectiveness. Everyone, especially journalists and law makers, should read this.

It’s also why I love reading everyone else’s books, from body horror to architecture criticism to the history of water in the West and beyond. Reading feeds us. We gotta eat.
they really said "they should have sent a poet"
The best way to explain AI in humanities classrooms is as kudzu. Much as kudzu was introduced in the 19th century and later touted for its ability to stop erosion in the 1930s, AI is invasive, takes constant culling, and instead of stopping erosion is in actuality consuming our individuality.
… but this feels like a right answer! 🙂
Does your pattern look like a staircase?
#ElemMathChat
Is your pattern a rectangular prism?
#ElemMathChat
Twenty four clusters of tiles that look like 3D clusters of cubes, each with a differing number of cubes.
#ElemMathChat Q7 “Last Tile Standing” is another one of my favorites (for Tile Farm’s version go to tiletalk.tilefarm.com). I’ve chosen one of the 24 patterns above, can you think of yes/no questions that could help eliminate options? Ask and I’ll answer yes/no. Can comment below if easier.
It really is remarkable how teaching folks to frame questions this way opens up classroom discussion… on EVERYTHING! #ElemMathChat
The green in the center was the first thing I noticed! (It’s my favorite color.)
#ElemMathChat
A thirty sided polygon made out of thousands of isosceles triangles.
#ElemMathChat Q5 “Notice And Wonder” is an obviously great question asking activity (shout out @mfannie.bsky.social ). Can you ask some questions about things you wonder about the above pattern? (Made in Tile Farm Studio)
4) Positive presuppositions (What are your learning from this that you want to remember in the future?) Means thee will be learning and when framed this way, the student sees it too!
:-) #ElemMathChat
A4: I use some framing from Cognitive Coaching:
1) Plural forms (What are some ways to approach this problem?
2) Tentative language (What could you try next?)
3) Open-Ended (How might the graph look for this?)
#ElemMathChat
1/2…
#ElemMathChat Q4 Do you have any teaching techniques or activities that get your students more confident about asking questions?
Yes- when we are modeling the curiosity, openness, and trust we want for our teachers and students… we help build the kinds of classrooms we all want. #ElemMathChat
I think kids think the questions they are curious about are the most important thing for the moment. I can relate! #ElemMathChat
It is amazing how one moment in time can so shape a child’s education trajectory and understanding of themselves as a learner… and how many factors impact that. #ElemMathChat
I have been known to do this also!
#BurningQuestion #ElemMathChat
#ElemMathChat Q3 What is the question-asking culture like in your classroom(s)?
This hurt my heart a little… I can imagine how that felt. Also— ‘of’ doesn’t sound like it is spelled the way it is… so, ‘ov’ would also make sense.
#ElemMathChat
A2: I LOVE to ask these kinds of questions… and always have. I am curious about LOTS of things! #ElemMathChat
#ElemMathChat Q2 Think back to your own experience in elementary school, or step into your students’ shoes. How does it feel to ask a question when you are curious about something?
COABE (Coalition of Adult Basic Education)… we have lots of conversations in @adultnumeracy.bsky.social about what counts as ‘basic!’ #ElemMathChat
