New #SlowRevealGraph Blog Post: Digging Into Data Sources A few years ago, I started citing not just the source of the graph, but the source of the data behind it. In this blog post, I explain why that's important, and how it can change our interpretation of the graph.

Friendliness isn't always a sign of trustworthiness. Warmth is easy to fake. The foundations of trust are reliability and integrity. What counts isn't courtesy in the moment—it's keeping commitments over time. The best way to inspire confidence is to consistently walk our talk.

Wrapping up a terrific summer book chat group! I hope to run it again in the fall – message me if you're interested. Last session is next week, we wrap up with Ch 7. Participants' assignment is to create a "found poem." Here's my example, enjoy! #imentormath #iteachmath #icoachmath #foundpoetry

We still have openings who wants to lead? #ElemMathChat #MTBoS

Using the "you are running out of space in Google Drive" as a nostalgia trip of classroom assignments - found this puzzler from 2006! Updated fancy image for 2025! #iteachmath, #imentormath #MTBoS (more vintage IYKYK)

Fun one for sure! #iteachmath #Imentormath. Bonus collaborating with @jennalaib.bsky.social!

We are two weeks out from the start of "21st century mathematics", a program I run for K-12 math teachers. (Register now!) The program helps teachers connect the math they teach with some math that has been discovered in the 21st century. The program is flexible, free, & online.

Another gem from my vingtage (early 2000's) folders drive.google.com/file/d/0B7p1... Note: L2 GEO at the time = students with unfinished learning. This would be a great #thinkingclassroom exploration for ANY HS geo class. Stay tuned next week for #smudgedmath add-ons. #iteachmath #icoachmathed

Day 2 of @ayliean.bsky.social’s #MathArtMarch “on a square grid” LeWitt wall drawing Mass MOCA. #iteachmath

A day late but Here's my contribution “math match cookies” to the March 1 "Circle" prompt for the March #MathArtChallenge given by Aylian @ayliean.bsky.social #MathArtMarch #MTBoS #iTeachMath #MathSky

Listening to @adamgrant.bsky.social’s Hidden Potential - CH 8 “Mining for Gold” - highly recommend read/listen for any #thinkingclassroom #buildingthinkingclassrooms #iteachmath #icoachteachmath followers. Would love to facilitate a conversation between Adam and Peter! cc: @btcthinks.bsky.social

Solid (as always) read and perspective - this is the challenge: " schools become obsessed with outcomes that aren’t the same as learning. "

Please join a great #ElemMathChat on 1/30/25 at 8 pm CST 9 EST, 6PST When @mnmmath.bsky.social will be leading 'Culturally Responsive Practices to Humanize Learning and Broaden the Purpose of Learning Mathematics" See you then, bring a friend! #ElemMathChat #ITeachMath #MTBoS #EduMath

I shifted to "how is each unique" over the past few years. It is time for a new shift - and just in time for #LUMM2025 cohort starting next month! #iteachmath #imentormathed

Hope to see my mathematics educator friends tomorrow! #iteachmath #edusky

Hello Bluesky, we're NRICH! We offer FREE curriculum-linked resources for students aged 3-18, designed to nurture curious, resourceful and confident learners of school mathematics. We can't wait to get involved and talk all things maths with you 😀

New framework idea for PD I am designing calling it THRIVE: Tenacity; Heart; Responsibility; Inquiry; Voice; and Engagement. Would this intrigue you? #MTBoS #iteachmath #coachteaching

Educators - Please consider filling out whatever parts of this questionnaire resonate with you!

Best prompt I've ever asked students to answer in a final portfolio: "I especially appreciated <name of another student in this class> because <reason>". Great replies AND they reveal things I might not otherwise be able to see AND much happiness as I deal with final grades.

👀 my favorite elements, “Ask Students to Reflect on How Their Thinking Changed over Time” “Intentional Language Use Can Promote Drafting and Revising” #ITeachMath #imentormathed

This is fabulous! Template great for teachers to generate a a student version perhaps unit preview or review. AND students create versions to share portfolio-like collaborate for unit review or portfolio-like! #iteachmath #imentormath
