This is my grade 5/6 split grade class :). I'll be using your 21st and upscale blocks with my kinders later this month too!
Visual Patterns π€ Pattern Blocks
I am currently OBSESSED, in a (mostly) healthy way, with @fawnnguyen.substack.com visual patterns and @mathforlove.bsky.social pattern blocks for kids to learn and create patterns. Ah-may-zing. Also, I am in LOVE with Mary Vail's Thinking Desks, they are phenomenal!
This blog post, by Ian Maurer is a quick and easy read about how extensions can really make a task sing (or chirp). This blog post reminds me that a stories task can start off simple and with the right perspective, can make the mathematics very deep and complex.

A man in Finland received a speeding ticket and had to pay $103,000! The penalty was so harsh because fines in Finland are based not just on the severity of the offense, but on the offenderβs income. Can students figure out Vanjokiβs annual income?

@vendi55.bsky.social @webbkyle.bsky.social @maegangiroux.bsky.social Hi all. I've recently discovered the BTC book and it's re-inspired me to build more collaborative problem solving into my practice. I'm really enjoying your podcasts to fill in gaps and help adapt my initial ideas.
Hahaha yes us Saskies can't afford to eat our own. We need all the strength we can get.
When it is being said by rural people in Yellow Grass, Saskatchewan (population 478 and very English) is isn't pronounced Surrey. Next time I see you Nat I'll be waiting to hear you pronounce poutine and croissant! #BetterSoundReaaaaalFrench
It is almost as egregious as Nat pronouncing the word Souris as 'Surrey'

Two parallel lines going up. The top one says "The age I consider 'old'" and the bottom one says "My age."
My best explanation of parallel lines:

Black educators and our co-agitators/co-disruptors are out here doing the work. It donβt take much to find us. Itβs a choice at this point.
The co-opting of language like βgood troubleβ without interrogating what that actually means is irresponsible. The all white starter pack of educators βgetting in good troubleβ had good intentions, Iβm sureβ¦ but the impact is exclusion and alienation. Good trouble would have meant doing the WORK 1/
I facilitated learning for instructors in the local International Languages Program and received positive feedback; βYou speak exactly the right amount at exactly the right pace.β
π Iβm grateful that participants feel respected and cared for when I lead professional learning.
You are one of the only presenters I have ever seen who could command a room with a quiet intensity and confidence that creates such powerful learning. Anyone who has a chance to learn from you is incredibly lucky.
