I had been using a lot of DeltaMath for the last couple of years, but this week I tried creating some really nice Kuta worksheets that I edited on my iPad to make some of the problems worked examples, and it went really well. I think I've been underusing Kuta. #MTBoS

I've never actually tried for a culture victory in Civ 6, but clearly these folks have never even played Civ, sheesh.

Interesting thread!

just riffing on this, in 1944 my grandad's friend Paddy, who would go on to become a very distinguished writer, kidnapped a German general in occupied Crete and took him up into the mountains with a resistance team, from where he was sent on to the UK by submarine. Now, up in the mountains ...

Some (more) very big Dem overperformances on the Big Board tonight so far: FL-SD-11: Republicans hold deep-red district, but Dems overperform by 22 pts FL-HD-90: Dems hold blue-leaning district, outperforming 2024 by 17 and, perhaps more importantly, beating 2020 by 6

This discussion featuring @ddmeyer.bsky.social should be very interesting: www.aei.org/events/educa...

Curious if you've read the article and have any thoughts @mpershan.bsky.social , since I know you've written about grades vs SAT's in the past.

"It is the first time a mathematician has received NSW’s highest honour for scientific endeavour." cc #iTeachMath × #MathSky!

UCSD released a report on their own students showing: *25% of students got 7 + 2 = ___ + 6 wrong *61% of students couldn’t round 374,518 to the nearest hundred *37% of students couldn't subtract fractions It does make me wonder what percentage of students understood the report.

This article is why I'm skeptical that eliminating SAT's in favor of grades will really pan out. Grade inflation to easily aligns with the short-term incentives of people in k12. www.theargumentmag.com/p/when-grade...

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

I want to highlight this from my post. There are lots of perfectly good explanations for "why" are tied to the particulars of the specific case. I think an important part of teaching any subject is pushing everyone to step towards generalization. pershmail.substack.com/p/understand...

Does anyone in #MTBoS have an article for why worked examples should be fully worked-out rather than the typical math teacher "slow reveal"?

Just moments ago, detainees transported from ICE’s Broadview facility this morning were loaded onto an Avelo Airlines plane in Gary, Indiana.

Now is the time to fight, not surrender. 🗣️ Schumer must step down from his post as minority leader and allow for new leadership to emerge—someone who is willing to consistently fight for the American people.

Momentum builds for new leadership!

"See, we came together and compromised" is a good talking point when the gettable swing voter has a vaguely positive sense of both parties or how the system is supposed to work. Not when the 50th percentile marginal vote is like "I hate both of them so much" and your offer is "cool, I'm like both!"

I'm looking to see not only which Senate Dem candidates oppose this surrender (all of them will) but also where they go beyond this with respect to senate leadership. I want to see concrete promises for a new fighting Dem Party, because the current one is broken.

The model of holding individual senators responsible is broken here. The retirees clearly agreed to take the fall. Which is why the nos should get no credit for voting no unless they move to oust Schumer

Important to understand this. There's a reasonable chance that your Dem Senator who voted against it and is acting mad now was in on the play. It's the same reason why they scheduled the surrender for AFTER the election this week. They didn't want people pissed at Dems right before an election.

Since the Democrats worked extra hard to hide who actually supported this, I think the No Kings/Resistance position should be to primary every Democrat unless they publicly call for Schumer's ouster this week Either they go into total rebellion mode, which they won't, or the people will

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it. Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

It's time for you to support removing Chuck Schumer as minority leader. Will you support that, @markwarner.bsky.social ?

Schumer can be removed from his Dem leadership role this week - 23 Dems (and/or independents) just have to vote to depose him And they should, given this is his fault.

It doesn't actually matter if Chuck Schumer votes for this or not. If he can't keep his caucus unified to protect healthcare for over 10 million Americans, he should resign as leader.

I look forward to supporting @abigailspanberger.com's 2030 Senate campaign against @kaine.senate.gov .

Brilliant. Should be a model everywhere

This is DEPRAVED

Three years after my husband died, I’m still trying to prove our life together was worth losing his family. What I live with isn’t forgetting — it’s the blurring of memory. On the third anniversary, I wrote about grief, memory, and continuing without answers. www.dataandpolitics.net/the-blurring/

I'm gonna keep quoting myself until this crime against civilization starts getting serious notice.

sometimes, a data point speaks volumes: "after NCLB, there was 14% drop in child-selected activities in kindergarten, but a 15% and 10% increase in math worksheets and textbook use, respectively" source: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.... #EduSky

This right here, this exact sentence, is THE problem in American political journalism. The IRA *was* cheap energy and good jobs! That was the whole bill! Democrats did precisely what political pundits are telling them to do and the pundits just ignore it.

The people on the right who have been accusing liberals of practicing "moral relativism" for decades are now failing the easiest morality tests ever put in front of anyone.

I’m at a high school where phones are not allowed out of students’ backpacks…this is reasonable. But the phones also must be used as part of the checkout/checkin process for using the bathrooms. Oh the gray areas I am currently observing. It has turned into a game of cat and mouse.

Holy shit. Midnight massacre at ICE.
