Excited to speak at #NCTMATL25 in Atlanta! Sat, Oct 18 | 8:00–9:15 AM. My session, Culturally Responsive Practices to Humanize Learning Mathematics, shares how educators can honor students’ identities and experiences while making math meaningful. #NCTM #MathEd #EquityInEducation #ElemMathChat

My passport, which I use as my Real-ID, expires on Saturday while I am here in Atlanta. When I fly home on Sunday, will it have become a Surreal-ID?

To my math folk at NCSM/NCTM this week, keep an eye out for #PlaceValue. I’d love to hear how people replicate and refine the ideas Marian Dingle (Atlanta family) and I explored prepping for Chicago 2020 and Atlanta 2021, you may even find sweatshirts out there.

Anyway, if you go - let me know.

I've updated my document that tackles four of the common arguments used to encourage teachers to use AI.

There is now an ALEKS version for Kindergarten? I don’t know, man.

Came to say “Bring snax”, so I am pleased to be a backup voice on this point. Ditto reading material; don’t count on consistent cell service.

And be prepared for time to be a flexible concept.

I made the fund goal. Now I’m ready to race! You can download the Chicago Marathon app to track my slow behind the whole dang way.

My first year at a state college long ago, they had adopted “Beyond Possibilities” which makes no sense

By contrast, JB Pritzker told me that people should flood the No Kings protests precisely in order to let the American people know that something is deeply amiss.

More Dems should be doing this, to send the message widely that we are in real trouble right now.
