Nice - also eek on the lack of steps! I had a version of this: I asked students to imagine that they had a research assistant to do their assignment; then they had to write instructions for their assistant; and then they had to become the assistant and follow their own steps.

I got this useful bon mot from a middle school teacher recently. In response to, “I DONT UNDERSTAND,” he calmly said, “okay what steps have you taken to understand?” And that’s when I realized that a lot of folks have no steps.

Happy birthday to the only two women with elements named after them on the periodic table: #MarieCurie & #LiseMeitner. As I do every year, I will once again repeat my proposal that November 7 should be International #WomenInSTEM Day! #histSTM #chemistry #physics #OnThisDay #OTD #PeriodicTable👩‍🔬🗃️📜

I saw a brilliant talk at CGI a few years ago — Nick Johnson, Angela Turrou, and apologies to researcher #3 because I’ve forgotten you — that explored optimal times to share student work. Is it better to share polished or incomplete? More engagement and discourse for the latter! #elemmathchat

other fascinating discovery of the year because I don’t know what went wrong before they got to me: 3x + 10 = 8x - 17 Will get simplified by *many* children to 11x = -7

Note: also not a great teaching strategy

I really enjoyed the deft interweaving of the story lines, and the examination of what makes a ‘good’ mother. #read2025

Under Over Over - West Hampstead So it's taken a while, but I've finally found a location where you can clearly see London Underground trains traveling over London Overground trains. The vantage point is at West Hampstead Overground station at the end of the platform.

This remains the funniest way to hear about an internet outage, though.

It’s happening people! I’m finally in a position to start crowdfunding to recover some of the costs of taking legal action against my employer. Watch this space :)

I will absolutely judge you by how you treat the person in the room who is providing service/with the least to offer you/without power. Easiest asshole detector in the world.
