What's a concept in maths that makes you feel unsettled in a beautiful way?
Remote math teachers everywhere: *scramble to adjust lesson plans*
We are aware of issues with teacher.desmos.com and will be sure to update folks as we work on them.

The OPP is looking for help identifying a vehicle and driver who struck and seriously injured a 13-year-old cyclist in Pembroke and did not stop to provide assistance.

THIS was the nightmare scenario that doctors warned us about and some politicians ignored. Well, it's here now. And all we can do is LOCK THIS THING DOWN while vaccinating AS FAST AS WE CAN.

Now intubated in ICU.
Explain why schools aren't safer.
Explain why teachers aren't vaccinated.
Explain why essential workers now fill our ICUs in Ontario.
Explain.

A great way to explain a concept that many struggle with.
- Equations have solutions or roots.
- Graphs have intercepts.
- Functions have zeros.
Let f(x) = x^2 + 7x + 12.
x^2 + 7x + 12 = 0 has solutions/roots {-4, -3}.
The graph of f has x-intercepts at (-4, 0) and (-3, 0).
f has zeroes at -4 and -3.

Hey students & staff @RCDSB - thx for all your time and effort in our online learning environment this week! Time to pack up and head home for the long weekend ahead!😉🤗
11 am on a school day. This brought me to tears. Popped in to get some tech, and was overcome with emotion. I miss hearing the laughter, the conversations, the coach whistles coming from the gym. I miss each and every kid that should be in this hallway at 11 am on a school day.
Our students have always needed us to be more than subject leaders: to show leadership by modelling self-care, empathy, inclusiveness, and the ability to acknowledge when we need help. This role isn’t new, but it’s so much more obvious now. #Leadership #COVIDー19

Dear @CBCNews, who is your math consultant? How are you determining these random scales for your y-axis? In a world where good mathematical modelling is needed, you can do better. I bet @canmathsociety could help you. #iteachmath newsinteractives.cbc.ca/coro…

“Now more than ever, kids don’t need to be doing fake work." Educator @AlexSVenet offers four core principles of trauma-informed learning right now: predictability, flexibility, connection and empowerment.

Parent's tone is clearly one of anger. So angry that he/she does not see the BEAUTIFUL correlation between the 2, 1 is geometric, 1 algorithmic. The indignation is THINKING that area model is anything new. It's NOT.
If we all could take time to see another view...on everything.
