I do a wee thing to memorialize mathematicians and math educators we've lost each year. Usually famous folks, but wonder if you've lost a math teacher, mathematician or math educator? Share something about them with me and I'll try to memorialize them. Or just boost your story.

"There's a lot to be gained from helping each student to see themselves as a 'data point' ... it encourages them to see beyond summary statistics and appreciate the mathematical journey from concrete to more abstract implications" @teachmaths

It's #WorldBookDay and covid is back in the news, so I feel I should share "The Maths of Life and Death" with you (particularly ch. 7) which details some of the numerical traps and maths pitfalls people have fallen into during the pandemic.
