If you know anything about my why, you’ll know why this brought me to tears. This is evidence that my β€œMath & Me” workshop WORKS! Parents are healing their math trauma and rediscovering math!

Want to learn more? Hit me up!

'Children are biologically predisposed to communicate, to exist [and] live in relation. They quickly perceive how the act of listening is essential for communication' ~Carla Rinaldi

Reminds me of @mburnsmath.bsky.social who said the best you can give yourself is to stop and listen to your students.

Whoever your version of β€œgod” is, I think this anecdote probably hits:

In a Kinder morning meeting a teacher asked if students would prefer to speak every language or be able to play every instrument.

One child chose languages. When asked, Why? The student said, β€œbecause then I could talk to God.”

This quote is truly how I feel about NCSM week:

11yo daughter says, β€œWhy can’t you just use a tape measure? Like, a really long one?” So maybe start there to show why that doesn’t work?

This is awesome! I feel like there are so many tasks you could create with the cop slide… you could even compare it to other slides of similar lengths around town! Let me know if you’re inspired to create something!

Many adults are now over…" After video of a cop flying out of a slide in Boston went viral, the slide has become a tourist sensation. Many adults are now overcrowding the children’s park. One afternoon this month, residents waited an average of 45 minutes for a chance to descend the infamous metal tube. Many tourists have even taken to trespassing in the park at night. Boston Mayor Michelle Wu said that the city was forced to temporarily install barricades because of β€œincreased activity at night by adults.”#copslide #boston #viralvideo #viralvideos #copslidefailView all comments

I wasn’t either and hubby was like, β€œthis is like 2 years old! You’re late!” LOL Glad it’s not just me!
