⚠️ A dangerous thing we do in mathematics classrooms is provide formulas without explaining where they come from or why they make sense. Here’s my emoji-laden attempt at explaining the Probability Density Function of the Normal Distribution: youtu.be/1Q1rhvIkQo0 #iteachmath

Teachers - take risks and make mistakes in front of your kids, otherwise how do they know it is OK to do that? Be risky, creative, & kind!

I wrote this book so teachers would believe in students but 4 many teachers it is helping them believe in themselves-which makes me so happy

Let's work together to stop the performance culture in schools - it stole maths from us and ruined our kids' relationships with maths. nitter.cf/rebekah_lonon/status/8…

Who has the power to change students' lives and achieve equity? Teachers, not politicians. We should never forget that, not today, not ever.
