Does anyone in the #mtbos #iteachmath world work regularly with an ELA or history teacher to deliver integrated lessons? I really want to start piloting this at my school and would love to chat!

It’s a #becauseofthemwecan Black history month challenge! Let’s see how many you can check off! #BlackHistoryMonth #BHM
An exciting new job for one of my personal heroes.
“Leading the legendary Media Lab is a dream for me, and I can’t wait to help write the next chapter of this uniquely creative, impactful, compassionate community.” We’re thrilled to announce that @DavaExplorer will be the new director of the MIT Media Lab! bit.ly/38uHlp9
I am in an all day online math PD. I am both super excited/refreshed at hearing from my amazing peers AND so overwhelmed/tired of learning through a screen. Such a good reminder of what our students are dealing with on a daily basis. #iteachmath #mtbos #SPSmath
Highlights include "Healing Math Trauma Through Family Engagement" from the always powerful @ESMathTeacher If you teach math (or really anything) you should know/follow her.

And a call to action from @Mathcharts on addressing the reality that our Black students face in the unjust educational system we work in by promoting an affirming classroom full of joy, trust and empathetic connections. I am lucky to work with her!
I have neglected twitter since remote education! I am so tired of staring at my computer, but it also seems like the perfect time to jump in and learn/share ALL the new things.
Magical Ms. Micaela never gets old! Student reactions are always over the top excited and then they dig right in to figuring out how to prove with expressions. #bridgetocollegemath

Sad that #mathphoto19 is over. My last contribution is an #array with my little. Back to work next week.
I want to be careful saying that long commutes are necessarily bad though, b/c they definitely affect our SoC more now, but also used by white ppl to oppose bussing and shorter commutes to struggling schools aren’t the answer. 1/2 #makemathjust

I’m late, but thinking about having students create a map of all the different routes they take to school along with average commute time.have them look for patterns, gaps of service, etc. also compare projected times versus actual times and how often buses late #makemathjust

Our #estimation challenge was about number of circles and how much area in each color #mathphoto19

A1: At a public alternative HS in Seattle. >95% bus or lightrail, a few catch a ride with family/friend. More than how, it’s the how long that impacts many students. Long commutes can lead to absences, lateness, hungry/tired students #makemathjust
Also, safety &sense of belonging an issue for students especially our SoC who are questioned more often on public transit for student bus pass use #makemathjust
