WOOOHOOOO! It's Mathical Book Prize day! Great titles here, and I'm especially thrilled to see Christopher Danielson's HOW DID YOU COUNT? win the Young Reader, grades K - 2 category! So thoroughly deserved.
@triangleman.bsky.social and @kassiaowedekind.bsky.social, you made a marvelous book 🥰
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I finally got @triangleman.bsky.social’s How Did you Count? in front of some 2nd graders today!
Their work reminded me that math should be about honoring thinking, engaging with other’s ideas, and trusting the math that lives in our students’ heads.

Ha! Absolutely, I did.
How about these stadium steps where every other step is a landing for a row of seats?
That’s where I am! But I’m leaving today. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for an airport sighting.
This is a good thread by one of my "trusted sources," @polotek.bsky.social.

Hopped off the plane at PDX, with a dream and my calculator.

Book cover for How Did You Count? There is a sideways diamond of shiny plastic spheres carefully arranged on a wood floor. The left "half" of the diamond is a triangle with base five, made of light blue spheres. The larger, right "half" is a triangle with base six, made of red spheres.
Good morning!

Oh hey, will you be in Seattle for the NCTM Regional next month? A @mathhappens.bsky.social colleague and I will be there, together with SUMM, in a decompression/play space outside the exhibit hall.
Come play and say hi (and maybe take home a hexagon challenge frame for your classroom?)
