@mpershan Love this. I wrote a letter to my last school about how the “math” people think of when they hear I’m a math teacher is different form the “math” I love

@bowmanimal "Newspapers don’t print already-filled-in crossword puzzles; it’s not the answers but getting to the answers that’s the point." Awesome letter!

@mpershan Enjoyed the read. Related to the part about artificially defining mathematics.

@mpershan This is so great, thank you! I've just sent it to my faculty head maths teacher to show to her new (highly maths anxious) students 😂

@mpershan Excellent advice for aspiring teachers. Can't "make" students like your math. Just get them to see the math they DO like IS math.

@mpershan @davidwees Many of them, though, really don't like math - including its 'fun' forms - b/c they'e had such bad experiences w/ numbers in their educations....
