My class and I decided today that a lemma is an appetizer theorem and a corollary is a dessert theorem.

Remember that time we tried to figure out the most damage you could deal in 1 turn using just 3 cards? (No infinites) We got to over an undecillion damage!
But @Jon_Nauert and @TylerGlaiel have informed me #MTGCapenna has DETHRONED the champ. I welcome our new 2^2^26 overlords:
After years of teaching point-set topology, I feel like I've given my first 'proper' topology lecture in algebraic top. "So imagine this space is made of jello with tunnels dug out of it. If we continuously inflate those tunnels, the space looks like this..."

Hey Everyone! In preparation for the 2022 Grading Conference, we're looking for information about the different ways people handle reassessments/revisions/retakes. If you're willing to have a quick conversation with us, please email us at [email protected].
I accidentally linked a Metroid Dread speedrun on Canvas instead of yesterday's topology Zoom recording, in case you were wondering how my day is going.

If you are a mathematician would you please take a minute and fill in this short survey about mathematical communications? surveymonkey.com/r/D3PHLMX
I promise something great will come out of it.
Also, please share this with all your other math people and RTs are super welcome!

Think about the message this sends by averaging scores over time to calculate a grade.
It tells kids that where you start will nearly set in stone your future.
That message has absolutely no place in our schools, and yet this happens in most US classrooms.
It needs to stop.

How does someone get started in non-traditional grading systems? Sometimes it's through making snap decisions and following through. Here's my origin story with #specsgrading, as the first post on the new *Grading For Growth* blog.

Can you embed the Möbius strip into 3d space in such a way that its boundary forms a perfect circle?
Yes!

The tail end of this semester has been pretty rough, but today I got some good news. I've been promoted to full professor! 🥳🍾
Nothing makes you develop new pedagogical strategies in a hurry quite like finding out about a campus-wide internet outage 10 minutes before your Zoom-enabled hybrid class.
Emporia State is looking to fill a tenure-track math education position this fall. Want to help shape the next generation of middle and high school math teachers? Want to work with me and @MathProfTom? Check out our ad at bit.ly/30FXNQ9.
