Santa's naughty and nice list. Naughty is 6÷2(1+2). Nice is "6/((2(1+2)) or (6/2)(1+2)"

Word Crunching I wrote a poem on a page but then each line grew to the word sum of the previous two until I began to worry about all these words coming with such frequency because as you can see, it can be easy to run out of space when a poem gets all Fibonacci sequency Brian Bilston
Today’s poem celebrates Fibonacci Day. It’s called ‘Word Crunching’.

Great episode.
Forcing teachers to follow identical lessons makes as much sense as forcing Beyoncé and Rihanna to sing only Taylor Swift songs. My take on why requiring teachers to follow curricula strictly harms students. #MTBoS www.edweek.org/teaching-lea...
