Tulsa Massacre Was a ‘Coordinated, Military-Style Attack,’ Federal Report Says The Justice Department’s conclusion follows an investigation of the 1921 atrocity in Oklahoma in which up to 300 Black residents were killed.

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

Be on Santa's nice list by simply conveying what you mean mathematically clearly so we can stop having these PEMDAS arguments.

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’.

The Interview Quiz I love creating curious tasks for my students. I love anticipating their thinking, observing their milestones of thought, and then posing new, interesting wrinkles to sustain their problem solving.…

I did an interview quiz on equations of lines with my grade 9s. Allowed me to chat with each student and clear up anything with which they were struggling.

Teachers Have to Endure Plenty of Short-Sighted Mandates. Here Are 3 of Them (Opinion) There’s so much bad advice about teaching that it can be hard to choose the worst. These teachers tried anyway.

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...

Teachers: you had your students for 2 to 3 months. Today might be a good day to look at your rosters and make sure you can name a strength for every single student.
