I like teecino as a caffeine-free tasty carob-chicory based drink- as soon as you open a bag its fragrance is so inviting! I don’t get it often but it’s very attractively priced at @weaverstreetmarket.bsky.social so I picked a box up today! #vegan

I'm excited about a new handout I just finished, "Fun with Subtraction" (1st 4 pages here), that I'll be sharing w/ 1st-3rd graders at #mathCircle this weekend at UNC Chapel Hill. #mtbos #iteachmath #mathisfun

I love sharing w/students #mathisfun techniques for easily subtracting & am integrating several ways for students to try on a unit I'm calling "Fun with Subtraction" this weekend at Chapel Hill Math Circle for 1st-3rd graders. I hope to finalize the handout tomorrow. #mtbos #iteachmath #mathCircle

Happy #Diwali #Diwali2025 #festivalOfLights! My daughter makes rangoli, patterns out of colored sand, each year. So far she's made these and tonight will make another.

I get such motivated/smart/engaged students. This week in 1st/2nd grade Stanford #mathCircle we're looking more at counting - salads, ice cream bowls, & clothing combinations. Few examples: one had a nice tree, another understood abstracting w/variables, two had trees w/drawings. #mtbos #iteachmath

Happy #Diwali !

I'm going to see if my algebra students can easily square a few numbers by remembering the square of sums or differences of binomials. #mtbos #iteachmath #mathisfun

One of the assignments due this week in my level 5 class is to carefully demonstrate the powers of 2 starting with 2 to the first through 1K and then deducing 2 to the 0th and 2 to the first few negative integers. I love how well this student has illustrated the powers of 2! #mtbos #iteachmath

We had good coverage of our #LBBC #LetsBeatBreastCancer #BreastCancerAwarenessMonth @pcrm.org www.cbs17.com/news/local-n... x.com/WNCN/status/... www.facebook.com/share/p/17BQ... on CBS 17 WNCN in Central NC. Moving to a #vegan #wfpb lifestyle can drastically decrease the chances of breast cancer.

Here’s a quick video clip of the fabulous Batala Drummers at the #letsbeatbreastcancer #lbbc www.pcrm.org/letsbeatbrea... @pcrm.org here in @durhamnc.bsky.social - professional images and video forthcoming. Go #vegan #wfpb for many reasons incl reducing chances for breast cancer!

We love the film, musical, & of course Roah Dahl's book, 'Matilda' & today got to see this 1996 Danny DeVito film again on the big screen at the historic Carolina Theatre in @durhamnc.bsky.social in their Retro Film Series carolinatheatre.org/series/retro...! We also caught the end of 'Hocus Pocus'.

I read that Honeypatch has a longer shelf life than Honeynut (winter squashes don't last at
my home - so easy to just pressure cook); it is sweeter but from what I read I likely will prefer
the nutty flavors of Robin's Koginut. Lots of good choices! #organic #wfpb #vegan

Dilip Barman @dbarman.bsky.social · 9d

I love winter squash and made a new discovery (from Row 7 who also hybridized Sweet Garleek!), #organic Honeypatch Squash www.row7seeds.com/products/hon... ! I found this today at Whole Foods Market. I am a big fan of Robin's Koginut (hey, also by Row 7!) and Honeynut, and can't wait to try this!

Honeypatch Squash

Selected by breeder Michael Mazourek to reimagine the workaday butternut, the Honeypatch packs concentrated sweetness into a single-serving squash.

I designed a #mathisfun challenge question for my level 3 students. We studied rectilinear shapes last week and I hope they'll use what we learned to easily be able to find the area and perimeter of these shapes and to find the optimal area for the bounding rectangle's perimeter. #mtbos #iteachmath

Dilip Barman @dbarman.bsky.social · 11d

So much #mathisfun today. In level 2 after a coin problem we explored inequalities. In level 5 we counted polyominoes and considered integer division. We looked at a surprisingly easy AMC12 #mathTest problem and considered ratios in algebra. We excerpted a few #mathical books too #mtbos #iteachmath

#citrus! I can’t believe I found very early season mandarins (they didn’t know the variety, alas) at @weaverstreetmarket.bsky.social this evening! Not #organic unfort. I cut a few soon after getting home - pretty sweet and juicy! They also have a non-local RazzMatazz® Muscadine not fr Union Grove.

I loved Rebecca Lazier’s approx 60m ‘Noli Timere’ (program: live.arts.ncsu.edu/noli-timere-...) at NCSU - dancing in nets was visually stunning & must have been very difficult. Dancers were accompanied by French Canadian cellist Jorane who composed and played solo incl gorgeous ethereal vocals. Wow!

I cooked a small 'Badger Flame' #organic beet as soon as I got home (8m pressure cook then lemon juice and dash of salt). It's good though I've had tastier golden beets. I look fwd to more tasting! According to onwisconsin.uwalumni.com/the-badger-f... it is quite good raw and I'll have to try that!
