Pythagorean Party!

Last week had a special math-y date: 7-24-25, which is a Pythagorean triple. This means that the sum of the squares of the smaller two numbers equals the square of the largest number. Let’s d…

If a system requires dehumanizing students & teachers, it isn’t working. Teaching must embrace complexity: science, culture, ecology, identity. That’s how we create classrooms of belonging.

Thanks @covingtonedu.bsky.social for naming these urgent truths

Heads up Chicago!

While the National Guard is probably going to spend some time spreading mulch around federal buildings, there will be more armed kidnappers with badges than usual in town.

These resources will be needed by someone.

Workers are harvesting lettuce on CA's Central Coast. "Lupe" tells us that they work more than 8 hours this day. She tells us that you can see how the workers rotate breaks in this video. One crew is taking a break while the other two are working. #WeFeedYou

You don’t have to fix anything. Just notice. Awareness is the beginning of wisdom.

Choose one day this week to practice gentle noticing
Ask yourself what patterns am I
👀seeing in my environment?
😦feeling in my body/thoughts?
What small shift could I make today to realign w/what I value?

The same way we train students to look closely at a growing sequence or shifting figure, we can train our own attention to notice what repeats. Not to judge it, but to understand it.
cuz once we become aware of a pattern we gain the power to keep it shift it heal it

Maybe it’s a pattern of rushing. Of overextending. Of holding your breath in stress.
Maybe it’s a pattern of pausing. Of noticing kindness. Of making space for laughter or light.

In math, we teach students to notice patterns (in numbers shapes equations data) but the practice of awareness asks us to widen the lens
What patterns are unfolding within you?
What rhythms are shaping your days your reactions your classroom culture?

Awareness isn’t something we arrive at it’s something we practice moment by moment breath by breath
As the school yr begins to settle into rhythm it's easy to move through the days on autopilot but underneath our routines habits & systems lie the quiet hum of patterns

I love the connection you’re making between math and language.
I’m curious how might that connection also open opportunities for students to build comunidad and learn from one another’s perspectives?

quite a setup - one that makes those in-person days feel even more important
Sometimes the seeds of comunidad are planted in brief, intentional moments that grow long after we’re apart.

On day one, I’d skip the “rules lecture” & start w/ a math task that gets students talking and thinking right away. A task that invites wonder, and multiple strategies—no textbooks. This sets the tone: math here is about thinking, sharing, & learning together.

A challenge: Resisting the urge to “cover” content. To cover means to hide and math should be uncovered, explored, and made visible through rich tasks, classroom based formative assessment and student discourse. #MathEquity #iTeachMath #EduSky

Grow comunidad by making student voices the heartbeat of the classroom. Celebrate ideas, connect learning to our lives, and build trust through routines where every student feels seen and valued. 💛 #MathEquity #iTeachMath #EduSky
