There's still time to apply to our PhD program in math education. Ranked Top 5 nationally, we offer assistantships (salary, health benefits, tuition wavier) for those accepted to come to Columbia full-time to pursue math ed research and teacher education. education.missouri.edu/degree/mathema…

Remember when Hacker made a splash asking "Is algebra necessary?" Well I reviewed his book, The Math Myth. We agree math is often irrelevant to daily life. We disagree on what to do abt it. He says remove requirements. I say focus on process, not content. scholarworks.umt.edu/tme/vol20/iss1…

Autumn at Townsend Hall.

Earning a PhD is hard work, and so is being a new parent. The mathematics ed dept. has established a monthly stipend for students who are balancing doctoral studies & parenthood. Learn how it helped Faustina Anakwah Baah, pictured with her son, Darius: mizzou.us/MathEdStipend

Chris Jett (@GeorgiaStateU) talks abt his new book from @TCPress that focuses on a mathematical brotherhood of Black men. Community support, race-affirming college spaces, "third floor respect" all contribute to their success as math majors at @Morehouse. podomatic.com/podcasts/mathe…

New book @CorwinPress - middle school math lessons that respond to social injustice. Chuck Munter and @haines_cara wrote lessons dealing w/ gerrymandering and the Voting Rights Act, both highly relevant issues that are even being considered at SCOTUS now. us.corwin.com/en-us/nam/midd…

Today, and everyday, let's honor the incredible efforts and the profound difference that teachers make in their communities and in the world. #WorldTeachersDay
