I follow a lot of accounts that post data visualizations, where I find potential slow reveal graphs. This is data that I want to share that I will not be turning into a SRG. Still: it's data that I think you should see, so I'll explain why. 🧵/1

DESE has a lot of explaining to do. This likely would have gone unnoticed if not for a diligent teacher working over the summer to validate DESE's mistakes. I ask this at every talk I give: To what extent are we placing our students' futures into biased, pseudoscientific, noise machines?

"As a general impulse, [individualizing instruction] can pull us away from our real work: creating dynamic learning environments where we are all learning together. We sacrifice community. So how do we balance the individualization of our approaches with the whole class experience?"

Tonight I heard the amazing Dr. Sara Rezvi speak at Math for America. Loved hearing her talk about the contributions of Islamic mathematicians, with examples from al-Khwarizmi to Miryim Mirzhakani. We used Desmos to look at Omar Khayyam’s solutions to cubic equations. 😃 #MTBoS #IteachMath #MfAProud

I’m so excited for this OWiD article! I e been using this Steve Jenkins data viz about animal deaths for years, and I had trouble sourcing some of the figures. These figures are likely different but with the rigorous methodology I expect from OWiD. 🥰 slowrevealgraphs.com/2018/12/21/d...

I had the opportunity to share some mathy ideas as a keynote speaker yesterday. 🎤 Shared a favorite quote from @mburnsmath.bsky.social. Also shared @tracyzager.bsky.social’s book, Slow Reveal Graphs @jennalaib.bsky.social, Open Middle @robertkaplinsky.com & @mathematize4all.bsky.social’s book ✨🥰

In #MathsToday we read Chapter 3: Arms Race - Going to College, from Weapons of Math Destruction by Cathy O'Neil. Students annotated, discussed in groups, and will share some reflections in writing.

I love a choropleth map. I was playing around with this one on ChatGPT usage (via @sherwood.news), which includes both the state's ranking and most frequent type of conversation. I rolled over all of the dark states and none of them lay claim to be #1. Then I saw: it's out of 51. DC is #1 for usage.

Yay! #mathstoday one of my PSTs chose my #slowrevealgraph (made with @jennalaib.bsky.social's help, of course). slowrevealgraphs.com/2026/02/09/2... Most of the discussion was about what the thickness of the bands meant. Made it a stumper even after they got the olympic connection.

Love seeing @jennalaib.bsky.social using this framework. I learned from @deltadc.bsky.social . Often ask learners to pick one to consolidate thinking. Applying to planning is great. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dH7...
