If you live in the Winnipeg area, this is a great opportunity. #BTCthinks #thinkingclassrooms
I thoroughly enjoy being on @pgliljedahl’s BTC team. I’m looking forward to sharing the framework and great research through these interactive and active sessions.
Spent a lovely day at @awtyintlschool talking about Approaches to Learning & Teaching. I got to see @mpo64 and @mrs_frommert again! ❤️
So honoured to receive this award!

Very good opinion piece on the Math Wars and PISA by Neil Dempsey this morning. Give this a read.

My two biggest take aways from @NatBanting session today: 1) Assess what you value and 2) corn dogs are yummy.
I am so excited that @NatBanting is coming to my school @SJR_School on Friday for give us some math PD! I’ve “seen” him many times virtually but face to face is going to be awesome!!
Just had one of my beaded pieces accepted in the 2023 Bridges Exhibition of Mathematical Art!! @BridgesMathart

Today I learnt:
The hatch marks indicating congruence are actually Roman Numerals.
Also, if you need more than three, you skip to V, because IV and VI are easily mixed up when rotated.
Here are my current Math Educator Inspirations.
Check them out! They make me giddy!
