I appreciate the commercials, the yelling, and other noisy ways of recognizing the dignity of blue collar work (our heroes!). The recognition is long overdue. Now let’s insist that these jobs have benefits and compensation that reflect the dignity of the work.

"Can the global economy survive without non-stop production and non-stop consumption? It seems the flora and fauna can. Perhaps we can too, and emerge out of this crisis of planetary proportions as a better more humane species."

Honestly, I long for “back to normal.” Normal is comfortable for me. @bpenuel helps me remember that “normal” is often unjust and uncaring. The good news is, there is no normal, just practices that have become normative. “Normal” is made by us. It could be otherwise.

Even as I long to get “back to normal”, I will try to take this time to sit with Maxine Greene’s question (via @ilana_horn): “what could be?”

The Weil Conjectures by @olssonic is mesmerizing. For a while now, my friends and I in the Montana Math Teachers’ Circle have been exploring the notion of “mathematics as disciplined creativity.” This book captures that feeling.

I'm appreciative of folks who shared how they are reaching out to their students as universities switch to remote delivery. Here's mine.

It's so fun to explore fractions. Today we had a spirited debate: Who ate 2/7 of a candy bar?
The question is not resolved.

What do fraction mean? A thread.
I asked, "what does 4/5" mean? Students mostly said, "4 parts out of 5 parts." Then we did the sub sandwich problem, which involves (among other things) sharing 4 sandwiches equally with 5 people. (1/3)
#ElemMathChat #UnitChat
Students agreed that each person gets 4/5. A common strategy is to partition and deal out the pieces. The "green" person gets the green pieces etc. (2/3)
The green person does not have 4 pieces out of 5 pieces.
Does the green person still have 4/5 of a sandwich?
This spurred a great conversation. The question is still open. (3/3)

Thanks to everyone who shared in this #mathstratchat. We had a great time today making sense of strategies from @adinam225 @hatcherelli @mtrushkowsky @LarmourTX @TomFraserEd and @HicksTigersMath.

This one, from @adinam225 was especially great, because we got to discuss relational meanings for the equals sign.

Strat 1: Double and Half: 9 X 152
9 X 152 = (10 X 152) - 152 = 1,520 - 152 = 1,420 - 52
= 1,370 - 2 = 1,368
Strat 2: Scale Up and Down
76 X 10 = 760
76 X 20 = 1,520
76 X 2 = 152
76 X 18 = 1,520 - 152 = 1,368
