Very excited about working with @FlyingHighTrust teachers at this afternoon's Teach Meet. Looking forward to recreating a virtual buzz in the 'room', even if that won't work with the cones of chips!

“Math Person” is a free verse poem by high school student Julia Schanen. Rather than try to describe it, let me just urge you to read it. It will take you a few minutes, and it will move you. momath.org/wp-content/upload…
