Random Sunday question: what do you use to heal a mouth ulcer? I have one right at the back of my mouth which makes swallowing painful. I’ve tried Bonjela but a) it doesn’t stick and b) I’m not 2 years old

Great article on why students should not blindly memorize math facts: seattletimes.com/education-lab/… "math is not computation. Math is a means of communicating complex ideas".

Students' number sense often declines when they are introduced to algorithms - they often become laser focused on those and stop making sense. Most algorithms are introduced way too early and they stop sense making. twitter.com/MrTravisDrake/…

To answer your last question, because the honest learning of mathematics with proper time and space is not an endgame with traditional, institutionalization approaches. It is just about speed, score, and syllabus(portability). twitter.com/jamestanton/st…

how much of your dept time is spent looking at and talking about teaching ideas? honestly? #mathschat
