I saw a post earlier from someone here and I think it said “women make up half the population and give birth to the other half”. I hope that’s what it said because that’s kinda beautiful.

It reminds me of my go-to move when my students aren’t really participating in my math lessons. I just make a load of arithmetic errors when I demonstrate something and boom instant engagement.

For those who buy Russia’s filthy oil: this is who Russia is fighting in Ukraine. This is childhood in Ukraine in 2026. We will not forget!

When I left my classroom last night it was 7pm. I freaked out until I realised the custodian had put the clocks forward while I was at the photocopier.

A brown and white dog with a concerned look sits up straight and looks into the camera. On the floor next to them is an animal skin rug with matching coloring to theirs.

sometimes all it takes is a little subtle messaging to improve your pet’s behavior

I use this also to demonstrate why we use a t distribution over a normal distribution/z-score for means.

I trolled my Stats 12 students so hard on a question with AI generated data. Less than half the class got the question correct, and yet they loved the question and absolutely want it being part of the test. ❤️

What a fantastic case study for my Stats 12 class of what NOT to do when polling.

Canadian students' math scores are falling. What B.C. schools and parents can do about it 'Urgent national concern': Math is crucial in many fields yet more students are now functionally innumerate and many students do not go on to qualify for STEM courses

They can ask school boards to support teachers so they can focus on teaching as opposed to all the other things that get in the way of good teaching. For example, switching back to a linear system over a semestered system.

I could hear the dancing, music and shouts of joy clear across lafarge lake.

Achievement unlocked: tutored a 2nd year university student with the Statistics material I taught him two years prior. For fun. (And to hear him say oh I remember this!)

If Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu *really* wanted to destroy Iran, they would volunteer to take turns being its ruler.

I wake up to some of the loveliest Instagram DMs.

(This will be a great cautionary tale for current students)
