HUGE HUGE victory for Palestine today! The Jewish National Fund (JNF) is the most Zionist organization in the world and is the precursor to the settler colony of Israel. It is the focus of my doctoral research and it just had its charitable status revoked by Canada! 1/

Simone Biles is now the most decorated US Olympics gymnast, so here is a thread of her as functions y = x

I'm curious if other teachers are going to be masking this school year! There's like nothing in the news anymore about covid but it's spreading so much right now! (map from cdc.gov/nwss/rv/COVID1…)

You're hearing a lot about Tim Walz and free school lunches. You're not hearing enough about the behind-the-scenes role of Philando Castile's mom in getting that bill passed. sahanjournal.com/education/free…

Anybody have some math games they like to do the first week which would be accessible to newcomers who are emerging English speakers? #mtbos #mll

Imane Khelif sold scrap metal to pay for her boxing training, is a UNICEF ambassador, stood up against horrific bullying, and is now an Olympic champion.

Any tips for helping #MLLs to recognize vertical/supplementary/corresponding angles? I have lots of visuals around the room that we reference, but I feel like the idea isn't getting through to some of my students who are just beginning to learn English. #iteachmath #mtbos

‘He was in mystic delirium’: was this hermit mathematician a forgotten genius whose ideas could transform AI – or a lonely madman? theguardian.com/science/articl…

The semester starts tomorrow. Yes, encourage students to come to office hours, but also remember to give them examples of why students have gone:

I need advice on how to build community in a Grade 9 advisory class where nobody wants to talk. (Like I give them a would you rather ? to talk about with their partners and the room is silent.) Our most successful activity so far has been scattergories which they thought was fun.

Any ideas?? My 9th grade advisory remains very silent. 😑

I’m teaching newcomers this year for the first time and yes it’s hard but oh my gosh I’ve never had such sweet students. Today we came back from a week of fall break and several high schoolers gave me a hug and told me they’d missed me. 🥹

My newcomers are mostly Spanish-speaking and it wasn’t until a week into our trig unit that I realized when I write “theta” on the board to give them the name of the symbol they were all reading it as “teta”. 😂

Our school is having an issue with our Rohingya-speaking students because we have no way to communicate with their parents. Rohingya is mostly a spoken language so we can't use google translate and the district has no interpreters who speak Rohingya. Anyone else deal with this?

numbers are so cool!

My roommate teaches film at university. She has to turn in her syllabus in Dec for the class she’ll teach Spring sem. The goal is that no changes are made to the syllabus. This is WILD to me! I know HS ≠ university but I am constantly adjusting my plans based on student needs.

I beg of you please follow me here instead: bsky.app/profile/mather…

Someone hacked into our district so we’ve been without infinite campus for almost two weeks now. 😩 No way to take attendance reliably, check student schedules, contact parents or put any grades in the grade book.

A great resource to hand out to students. Many of them have no idea what their rights are as an immigrant. ilrc.org/red-cards-tarj…
