Presented with my good pal @wgibso1 at #nctm23 on our study about improving math identity with a coding project and look who greeted me from the @MidSchoolMath team! Missing my friend tremendously but so grateful to feel her with us there!

Such a great conversation… lots of gems 💎 💬 and what an amazing concept for a book! “Words have power, so I have power because I have words.”
