Awesome time at "Beyond Base Ten" by Melissa Holman! 🧮 We explored how math is shaped by culture, even calculating on clay tablets. From Incan quipus to Babylonian cuneiform, it was packed with mathematical thinking! Ready to bring these meaningful perspectives back to the classroom! ✨

🔥Nothing beats a room of educators dismantling barriers for students! 🍎 We spent an incredible session exploring Vanessa the Math Guru’s work on Breaking Math Myths. ❤️ Thanks to the educators who shared student beliefs, then revisited them with facts, reflection, and discussion. ✨

So many meaningful math moments and connections! 😄🙂You can see the joy in these smiles. It is so revitalizing to learn and grow alongside educators who share such a deep passion for their students. ✨ Grateful for the fresh perspectives and all these happy faces.
