I still have my trusty TI 89 from undergrad 20+ years ago! I have honestly come around to suggesting the numworks calculator lately to students. They are way cheaper and more intuitive for most of my current students. The free emulator and phone app are nice also

I'm still saying desmos classroom. I was wondering how long I can get away with tht before the students look at me uncomprehendingly.

Listening to John Prince making a puzzle of a barred owl in a grave yard with my daughter who was 6. Weird mix of total contentment and a feeling the world was falling apart.

It does kinda look like it is on an infinite frictionless plane.

I still talk to people about this book at least once a month. It is such a great read and is incredibly eye-opening and thought-provoking. I can't recommend it to enough people.

That explains why the newscaster is imploring me to watch where the huskies go.

If you go out some night in a clear sky and just watch you will see dozens of them. It is infuriating.

This doesn't get enough coverage

The entire article is just the word , NO. Right?

It remains perfect

We had a similar problem after changing the light bulb in the oven. The new one was to efficient ! I ended up going to thrift store to find an old 100w lightbulb that I use to heat the oven for making yogurt now.

The best way I have found to make it uncool is to say equals 42 immediately after and then launched into the discussion about how when we have two things next to each other we tend to imply multiplication. If you really want to continue you can discuss situations where addition is implied.

And states are passing laws that you cannot have fees for books, which sounds good, until you realize that it gives an excuse not have any books in the schools at all

Nice. I like the reinforcing division as repeated subtraction also.

Oh I don't take it personally! It's a valid point. I know language is important, what we say matters.

For example I've been trying very hard to say "our union" rather than "the union" because what we say can create lasting impressions.

I think sometimes his math teachers we lose sight of that.

I guess it is good too consider language more closely than I usually do. By saying job creator I gloss over that job destroyer aspect.

Language is important. I should do better.

Yeah definitely. I imagine that the number of jobs created versus the number of jobs destroyed is basically a wash.

Also I think that we as teachers help create people who can have and hold a job.

I definitely think that employment is not the point of education but economically it's important

Genius
