Shelby Strong 💗💜💙 @sneffleupagus.bsky.social · Nov 17

Hi! I'm Shelby. I'm a loud weirdo who talks about living with ADHD, math and math ed, random fun things that other people post, geeky things, and convos with my kiddo (TT). Doing my best to be kind for however long I'm on this blue dot in a vast galaxy.

This is Winston. He's a spoiled little baby.

Because @rob-baier.bsky.social won't stop bullying me, here's why I'm totally right about trapezoids having at least one pair of parallel sides:

Picture a trapezoid. What comes to mind?Does it look something like this? That’s what trapezoids looked like to me, anyway

It was about not using data that doesn't actually capture what you're trying to measure, because otherwise how do you know that the things you're doing are even working?

YES. This is why we need to engage in math content together as adults. #ncsm2025 #ncsmRiseUp

Dr. Ladson-Billings details four things that challenge poor students and students of color in mathematics. So grateful to be learning from her this morning. #NCSM2025 #NCSMRiseUp

Dr. Gloria Ladson-Billings presenting. Four things that challenge poor students and students of color in mathematics. Belief in mathematics as culture neutral. Limited access to well prepared teachers. Limited access to appropriate curriculum. Limited access to powerful pedagogy.
