Omg. I forgot about this album. Yes, Right Here is a banger and Coco’s voice is one of a kind. Adding it to my playlist now. Thanks for unlocking a high school memory.

Saw this on FB and thought it would make a good math warm-up or Math Talk

Conducting an informal poll. How many times do you press the lock button on your key fob for your car? Do you just press the required amount to lock and arm it? Or do you press it a bunch of times to get extra lockiness?

I’m going to be on Team One. A straw has one hole with two openings. I’m using the Oxford dictionary definition of a whole: “a hollow place in a solid body or surface.”

Brilliant reasoning!

OMG! that would’ve given me such anxiety until I got my grade. 😂

I just read a review describing chicken wings as “aggressively mediocre” and now I can’t stop thinking about what that means. 🧐

On a scale of 1 - 10, with 10 being the best, where would you rank aggressively mediocre and why?

I need answers!! 😂
