(shared with kind permission of student and his family) My amazing 2nd grade student Luc last year had made with Legos(R) a 9-row 70-high #PascalsTriangle; what a lesson to me about visualizing just how big numbers really are. This week: 10 rows, 126 high! #mtbos #iteachmath #mathisfun #mathCircle

I get such amazing students. I'm looking over the last homework for my 1st and 2nd graders at Stanford #mathCircle - one of my 1st graders ended her assignment with, "I will miss you Mr. Barman" - I sure will miss her & the others, hoping they'll all return in the winter quarter! #mtbos #iteachmath

@weaverstreetmarket.bsky.social has a new Georgia variety of citrus, Bingo Mandarins. They’re good but not quite as good as the Kiss - difficult to peel, not quite as sweet - but nice with bit of tartness. They still have #organic Meyer lemons! #citrus

I created a #mathisfun challenge question for my algebra students. I think with just a little attention this should be pretty straightforward. #mtbos #iteachmath

Watch the Kids in the Kitchen with their second pasta show. Children of pcrm.org FFL instructors share tasty #vegan #wfpb pasta recipes. They are on 2p ET on Saturday, December 6th on facebook (somanycooks) and YouTube (bit.ly/SMKKyouTube).

(shared w/permission of student & family) This 2nd grader in my #mathCircle shows a unique way of seeing the strength of the triangle - by blowing! In class we remembered the classic "The Three Little Pigs" story. I love my students' creativity, curiosity, & engagement! #mtbos #iteachmath #mathisfun

I get great students. I'm reviewing #mathCircle homework fr 1st & 2nd graders; a parent wrote, "Kabir was super motivated to finish the homework...we loved seeing that - its [sic] a testament to how engrossed [he is] ... gratitude...for keeping math fun and interesting" #mtbos #iteachmath #mathisfun

#citrus! @weaverstreetmarket.bsky.social has the tasty #organic satsumas but I didn’t know they were Buck Brand who sell #TripleCross, my favorites! They also have Meyer Lemons at @weaverstreetmarket.bsky.social as well as (not organic) Georgia Kiss Mandarins. Sugar Belles should be arriving soon!

I'm looking fwd to sharing this #mathisfun question w/algebra students as a challenge before we start working on graphing lines. It's directly inspired by the AMC (2024 AMC10A question 5 artofproblemsolving.com/wiki/index.p...): what's the smallest n s.t. n! is a multiple of 2024? #mtbos #iteachmath

We had about two dozen main/side courses and about a dozen desserts at
#tvsThanksgiving at Café Parizäde - the country's largest #vegetarian (all #vegan)

We’re excited to be at the holiday NC Symphony performance!

Several @trianglemath.bsky.social students attended #tvsThanksgiving pre-Thanksgiving. One, a 5th grader, said two remarkable things - before joining my math classes he didn't like and now "loves math" AND he now has a totally different view about #vegan food which he also loved! #mtbos #iteachmath

We have so many raffle prizes for #tvsThanksgiving. TVS member Blaze made charcuterie boards for lucky winners & we have books, restaurant gift certificates, @vegfestexpos.bsky.social bags of goodies, cooking class certificates, etal at our #vegan Thanksgiving trianglevegsociety.org/thanksgiving...

What a lovely #vegan #tvsThanksgiving we had at Coco Chapel Hill cocochapelhill.com . In a moment of silence we remembered TVS co-founder Barry Nakell; my wife's cousin's husb. Murali; my friend John; Jane Goodall; musicians like Brian Wilson, Rick Davies, Chuck Mangione etal who passed this past yr

I stopped by Parizade in @durhamnc.bsky.social to drop off a big check for #tvsThanksgiving, the country’s largest #vegetarian (all #vegan) one trianglevegsociety.org/thanksgiving . Preparations are well underway and I tried the delicious macaroni and ‘cheese’!

I just dropped off my #vegan yogurt at Parizade for our #tvsThanksgiving - staff has been busy for days preparing for the country’s largest #vegetarian (all vegan) #Thanksgiving ! Trianglevegsociety.Org/thanksgiving

9 pounds of dates - I wonder how many weeks they will last?!
November 22, 2025 at 9:05 PM
More #organic dates have arrived from California! Of course I have Barhi dates. These Halavis are giid - sweet and a bit like Deglets. Yum!
November 22, 2025 at 7:10 PM
#citrus season is starting! @weaverstreetmarket.bsky.social has nice looking #organic satsumas on sale and Georgia Kisses now also available!
November 22, 2025 at 6:01 PM
We had a lot of #mathisfun in the Chapel Hill #mathCircle with #pingala / #fibonacci numbers, rabbits, and #poetry. #mtbos #iteachmath
November 22, 2025 at 5:28 PM
I'm looking forward to sharing about Fibonacci / Pingala Numbers mathinst.com/pingala in the Chapel Hill #mathCircle for 1st-3rd graders. #mtbos #iteachmath #mathisfun #fibonacciNumbers #pingalaNumbers

It's remarkable how many math concepts these young learners seem to absorb. In #mathCircle the goal is exposure not mastery and I can only imagine when these children become middle and high schoolers how much easier they will understand math they're now intuitively experienced. Future math leaders!

My Stanford #mathCircle 1st/2nd grade Ss have done a great job w/counting diagonals in polygons. Some have used combinatorics & cool algebra tricks like adding n-n=0 to recraft an equation. They cite each other too! What amazing students I have! mathinst.com/diagonals #mtbos #iteachmath #mathisfun
