Math = Math teaching And Thoughts in my Head. When worlds collide, things are truly better together. These 3D friends help ease some of madness in my mind at the start, but it is never truly enough. July 25, 2015. Thanks to @veganmathbeagle I can no longer teach sequences and series using a standard note packet of formulas and definitions. And that’s a good thing.

MakeoverMonday – Penny Circles. Summer Acceptance and Finally Freedom. July 4th. Independence Day. Let freedom ring while we eat a variety of barbecued unmentionables and enjoy pyrotechnicians creating art in the sky. I hesitated in writing about this because I don’t want my blog to be a venting space, but I realized the eclectic nature of my posts are what make it uniquely mine.
