Had to think of this cool vintage graphic from 1906. I love how it displays population density in a beautifully simple way. Best practice #dataviz if you ask me. Source: buff.ly/3AA35vO
Super interesting read (thanks for gifting the link).
Reminds me of the interrogation scene in 1984 where Winston holds up 4 fingers and keeps telling O'Brien that there are 5 fingers.
Is this a problem mathematics can fix? Feels more rooted in epistemology...
chanced upon the so-called "People's State of the Union" irl this past Tuesday evening
fascinating to hear, live & up close, from several sitting members of Congress!

What is the biggest number you can visualize on an 8.5 x 11 in. sheet of paper?
It's not a takedown!
We were invited to read from our books, which I did of course. But first I had some opening words, which I thought I'd share with you here.
I'll share video too, once that's available.
You would have been a stellar switchboard operator
Thank you for doing the math! Will set a reminder on my calendar.
Update: still calling it mathematics I guess
If this gets 1 million likes I will start using "maths" instead of "mathematics/math"
mathart i say!
The next episode of the Mathematical Objects podcast, in which we chat to the lovely @nhoskee.bsky.social about what objects we consider mathematical, and why, is out now!: aperiodical.com/2026/01/math...
New podcast episode! @steckl.es and I have an interesting chat about maths, what it is, and how to communicate that, with @nhoskee.bsky.social inspired by the Public Math 'certified mathematical object' stickers.

As pointed out by @paulakrieg.bsky.social and noted by @mpershan.bsky.social, longtime #mtbos partner and collaborator Malke Rosenfeld passed away last year. She investigated and taught the mind-body math connection, engaging hundreds of teachers and learners in #mathart - dance! RIP great friend!
Non-zero hope is so much greater than zero hope
Can’t wait for next years tweet
How did 2025 go?
2:30 PM PT / 4:30 PM CT
Doing some preparation for #vehiclechat LIVE (with special guest @triangleman.bsky.social) and wondering why we have not domesticated giraffes...
SEE YOU FRIDAY 2 PM PT / 4 PM CT www.instagram.com/nhoskee?upco...
Success!
A picture of a horse and the question: "Is a horse a vehicle?"
A picture of an elevator and the question: "Is an elevator a vehicle?"
A picture of skis and the question: "Are skis a vehicle?"
A picture of a drone and the question: "Is a drone a vehicle?"
This one is especially for the teachers who are teaching the week of Thanksgiving.
#VehicleChat for Google Slides.
A seriously silly conversation, perfect before a holiday.

New Blog Post:
Culture & Identity in the Math Classroom
How do elements of the culture students bring into the classroom interact with the classroom culture we create? What does it mean to shift or honor them?
LOL EXTEND THE CHARACTER LIMIT @bsky.app
I say we rename it the Fibonacciii sequence
I always mix this one up. Are you sure it isn't "a shape is a square but most squares are not shapes?"
Surely we’ve reached the end?
WAIT HOLD UP, A SQUARE IS A PARALLELOGRAM BUT NOT ALL PARALLELOGRAMS ARE SQUARES
Wait hold up, a square is a rhombus but not all rhombi are squares
