This blog post, by Ian Maurer is a quick and easy read about how extensions can really make a task sing (or chirp). This blog post reminds me that a stories task can start off simple and with the right perspective, can make the mathematics very deep and complex.

A man in Finland received a speeding ticket and had to pay $103,000! The penalty was so harsh because fines in Finland are based not just on the severity of the offense, but on the offender’s income. Can students figure out Vanjoki’s annual income?

Hi all. I've recently discovered the BTC book and it's re-inspired me to build more collaborative problem solving into my practice. I'm really enjoying your podcasts to fill in gaps and help adapt my initial ideas.

Black educators and our co-agitators/co-disruptors are out here doing the work. It don’t take much to find us. It’s a choice at this point.

The co-opting of language like “good trouble” without interrogating what that actually means is irresponsible. The all white starter pack of educators “getting in good trouble” had good intentions, I’m sure… but the impact is exclusion and alienation. Good trouble would have meant doing the WORK 1/

I facilitated learning for instructors in the local International Languages Program and received positive feedback; “You speak exactly the right amount at exactly the right pace.” 😊 I’m grateful that participants feel respected and cared for when I lead professional learning.

My white women sky people… I offer a read for you. When most white feminists mention women’s rights, they don’t REALLY mean Black women. I encourage us all to know the history and do better. Black women continue to labor for everyone while simultaneously being made invisible.

If nothing else, a Building Thinking Classrooms approach supports with making math more accessible for students and teachers in a field (K-12 math) that has by and large made math inaccessible for most. I see myself in both the student and teacher group.

a few weeks back and was very worried the grade 3/4s would struggle because it was the youngest group I've done it with. I was wrong. They loved it and did so well! Up next, grade 1/2!
