There was an era when I spent a great deal of time documenting the activities of my practice on this blog. My students sponsored many an inspiration and innovation as I learned (and re -learned, and re – re -learned) how to teach mathematics. Times have changed globally ( the math teacher blogging community has largely disbanded ) and locally (my young family keeps me busier than ever), but my students continue to notice interesting things and make meaning in innovative ways–I swear.

Hello, friends! If you've been hanging with me on this here blog for a while, then you know that I've transformed many Christmas tree skirts to lady skirts over the years. In fact, I've been doing it for so long that it was before I even created videos! So many of my tutorials were old school: photos and WORDS, y'all. Today I thought I'd take you on a little stroll down Christmas tree skirt to lady skirt lane in case you are so inclined to create your own.

Hey, Mike Alpert!

DECEMBER 14, 2024

Hey hey, Is there anything quite as chaotic as the overlap of end-of-term deadlines, the start of a new trimester, and the looming holiday season? I can picture a student dropping by my classroom on Monday and asking, “Mr. Alpert, what do we actually do the week before break?” I’ll just smile and say, “Survive, my friend. We survive.” That’s kind of the theme for this time of year, isn’t it?
