This game looks fun. Going to try with my kids!

Learning coins is tough in the world where we donโ€™t use coins much anymore! (Gentle reminder: letโ€™s not blame the children for struggling to learn coins. They are living in the world *adults* made!)

Thanks @denisegaskins.com for your game idea! ๐Ÿ˜€

I went to a school today. Principal was like, โ€œdo you have our school sweatshirt?โ€
Iโ€™m like, โ€œno, but thatโ€™s okay but alsoโ€ฆ would love one!โ€

Listen, thereโ€™s a lot going on in schools. Lots of priorities and things taking our time and energy. But making people feel included? Priceless! โค๏ธ

Great article! It addresses some issues facing many teachers I work with. Iโ€™m going to use the article with teachers in a PD this week! ๐Ÿ˜Š

Always feels rejuvenating to reconnect with my mathy friends from near and far at math conferences.

Maybe it was a 5 minute hello in passing or a longer time hanging out over a meal or drink. Either way, I loved seeing you friends! ๐Ÿฅฐ

They Came for Our Neighbors. We Showed Up. Before long, there were dozens, and then hundreds of people in the streets, watching and responding.

My latest is the story of how my community has rallied to protect and defend our neighbors in recent days, as ICE has targeted the Rogers Park neighborhood in Chicago. "This is not a story about a moment of victory, but a moment of being reminded of our power."

Despite the ongoing horrors, protesters have been met with pretty much non-stop honks of support from drivers and truckers passing by this morning.

Appreciate this thread detailing what is happening at the detention facility near me.

Trying to stay informed, protect my neighbors, stay vigilant, support local Latino owned businesses, be ready with my phone to record.

I mean, I usually create something and try it out a few places. Then reuse it. So when Iโ€™m in those iterations, Iโ€™d love feedback.

Also, would love just to hear your ideas of what makes for good slides. I tend to go text light and talk heavy. Meaning my slides donโ€™t really โ€œsayโ€ much.

Know Your Rights | Immigrants' Rights | ACLU Regardless of your immigration status, you have guaranteed rights under the Constitution. Learn more here about your rights as an immigrant, and how to express them.

Thanks Julie. Helpful (to my mental health, especially) to hear that others feel the same. ๐Ÿ’™

Iโ€™ve been reading up on immigrants rights. I also want to know so I can video/narrate any interactions because ๐ŸงŠ is not necessarily following the law.

And some people claim this is what they want?! More than once Iโ€™ve seen comments in my community, โ€œthis is what I voted for!โ€ The cruelty is gross.

Itโ€™s unbelievable, unbearable, and inhumane.

The amount of anger I feel about my neighbors in the Chicagoland area being harassed, terrorized, and abducted by ๐ŸงŠ. ๐Ÿ˜ก

I am ready to video and literally on guard for every dark SUV or out-of-state plates I see in my neighborhood or where Iโ€™m working in schools. This is terrible.

"Dear Math, You are Dreadful" Sarah Strong and her high school student, Gigi Butterfield, get into why kids some hate math, and what to do about it. Read more here.

I did! (I didnโ€™t totally come up with it on my own. I know I saw something similar in a Desmos activity once. I also think there is a book or something called โ€œDear Mathโ€)

Tbh, the app could be easier to navigate but itโ€™s ok. That why I usually have to look at the online program too.

For speakers, I think you can log into โ€œspeaker ready roomโ€ and find out your room and room capacity. Not sure there ante really any other guidelines.
For program, I usually look at it online and then also download the app where I can click on things Iโ€™m interested in and make my schedule.
