Year two of implementing Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics off to a great start!

I had the privilege of teaching high school ESL Math to Venezuelan immigrant kids last year. Anybody who worked with those kids would want them naturalized. Great kids. My heart is breaking.

Your book is indispensable. Glad so many others have found it.

Seb Gorka is a serial liar, tedious windbag, and a fascist. In other words, he is a perfect representative for this administration.

Me too, but not just for Abrego Garcia. I think the people who stole his rights, slandered him, and defied court orders deserve their day in court too.

I support due process and the rule of law. Abrego Garcia deserves his day in court. People who rob others of their due process rights and engage in malicious slander against them deserve to see the inside of a courtroom too, Gorka.

You guys need to see this and take it in…

Wise words from someone who is a target. And he’s been listening.

Revisiting January 6th: The Truth in Motion (Videos Of Pardoned Criminals) Uncovering the Lies, Confronting the Violence, and Standing Firm for Democracy

The truth of January 6th can't be erased. Watch the pardoned criminals brutally attacking police inside the Capitol and see what some call 'patriotism.' No spin, just facts.

2025 has been my least favorite decade so far.

And that’s why you’ll never get to hold the briefcase.

Yes. Keep calling out the lies. Truth is the rock of the righteous.

💜. This is year 20 for me.

There were elements of a discussion.

When the new administration enters the White House in January, the Brennan Center will do what we do best: defend the Constitution and the rule of law. We’ve already begun.

Massive away win for the little fella.

I’m happy to be a customer of businesses run by people who disagree with me on politics/vote differently, but I have limits. Elon and X are well beyond them.

Friendly fire alert: you just triggered this Math teacher.

Trump is a zero, so it’s not 4 times or 40 or 4000. It’s an undefined value, infinitely greater- if you will. Also, you didn’t show your work.

That said, your larger point stands, so I’ll give you partial credit.

Truly impossible to overstate just how badly America messed this one up.

Thinking a lot about these guys recently

Yup, thought they were getting a sweet deal, didn’t they?

Seems a lot of people in this country who grew up on Star Wars didn’t seem to get it.

Token concessions and fawning testimonials will do. The real question is how much will he shake down from industries who stand to lose from tariffs and can he be nailed for said corruption?

This is a great idea. The Klitschkos have the right perspective to open minds on Rogan. Hope he invites.

I wish this venture success. Maybe this league can produce the action and pace that MLB used to. If so, count me in.

Tips to move beyond a “lurker” (and/or start to interact with the Online Math Community) Like - Who benefits: You (it acts like a bookmark) & the Poster (“Yay someone liked what I said”) Repost - Who benefits: You (it acts like a bookmark), the Poster (“Wow, they liked enough to share it”) & the rest of us (Reposting sends it back to the top of the feed increasing the chance of your followers and their followers to see it) Comment - Who benefits: You (interaction brings more friends and knowledge), the Poster (the conversation they started continues) & us (entices us to become part of the conversation too) Post - Who benefits: You (sharing thoughts and resources help to hone your own ideas) & Everyone else (the more discussion, the higher the chance we all learn) Tips for making your Posts more visible: Add an image - including a visual has been shown to increase the interaction Include hashtags (not too many) - a hashtag categorizes your Post and makes it visible to a wider audience than just your followers. Here are some math related hashtags that relate to education: #MathChat #MathsChat #MTBoS #iTeachMath #ElemMathChat #MathArt #MathSky Tag some people (not too many) - you can tag relevant people (even those who don’t follow you) in the Post or in the Image to increase the conversation potential

The #math community seems to be growing here and becoming more active. I have presented on how to get the most of being in a community like this many times and here are my tips to grow this PLN and make it useful for educators.

Well, if it any consolation, you will be in the capitol someday and you will serve there far longer than he will.

The truth of these words is surely known by Speaker Johnson, yet he won’t allow the plaque to be dedicated or displayed. Shame. We owe those officers this honor and so much more besides.

“On behalf of a grateful Congress, this plaque honors the extraordinary individuals who bravely protected and defended this symbol of democracy on January 6, 2021. Their heroism will never be forgotten.”

Plus the names of those extraordinary individuals. 😌
