Many years ago a few friends and I decided we were going to start saying ‘out’ instead of ‘back’ east - mainly because of the Toronto-centre-of-the-universe thing. Reflecting on it now, saying ‘out west’ and ‘back east’ is actually quite a colonial perspective.

My Foundations of Math 11 students using their understanding of mean, median, mode, range, & standard deviation to analyze what we found in packages of fruit snacks today. One thing we can’t explain though... why so many purple? @sd35wgss

@Trevornoah .@Trevornoah I'm not a teacher, but I nominate @ebalzarini too! He's by far one of the best maths teachers i've had - he'll definitely find another way to make his classes go above and beyond with one

@camseib Thanks so much Cameron! We are doing well - hope you are too. Looking forward to virtually going back to school, although not sure quite yet just what it’ll look like 🙂

I’ve spent the last few days making a COVID-19 math video - not as polished and amazing as a lot of the content on YouTube these days, but this situation is an unfortunate but applicable context for some of the math concepts my students learn... youtu.be/CUzcuiRE15c

@astrostephenson Too bad it looks to be cloudy around here tonight, but a collaboration at some point would be cool!

This positioning was used by ancient astronomers to determine the size of the solar system. It’s simple geometry really. Maybe i should partner with math video expert @ebalzarini to explain how!

#SkyAlert Venus reaches its greatest eastern elongation, or distance from the Sun today. This means it is the best time to view the planet, as it will be at its highest point above the horizon in the evening sky. Look for the bright planet in the western sky after sunset.

Fantastic video by one of @LangleySchools many outstanding teachers! Not only great for understanding the math behind the spread of COVID-19 and learning a little calculus, but also a great tool to remind us of why we all need to do our part to stop the spread! @sd35wgss

@ls_gibson ‘Unforgiving’ is certainly an appropriate word for that trail! So many students have been turned onto hiking and the outdoors directly & indirectly because of Charlie and the Harrison Hike, despite the struggle they endure getting up that hill!
