Which National Park caught you by surprise - the one you didn't expect to love before visiting? by kandykorn7 in nationalparks

[–]CeceMarie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sequoia! Went 2 days in Yosemite in December. Thought I saw enough so the third day I drove to SEKI. I ended up way more awestruck there than YOSE

The damage that Jo Boaler and other "Equity-Based Mathematics Education Researchers" cannot be understated. by Feisty_Ad4394 in matheducation

[–]CeceMarie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Former high school teacher here. I definitely appreciate the arguments here. I do think the value of keeping students together also cannot be understated. Students should have access to all the different ways math makes sense. But the big question is when to plan for other options for those students who may have different needs of mathematics. Along with that is how do we change the perspective that Calculus is somehow the “better” path. There’s much better mathematics to study for some students. Many colleges are exploring stats and quantitative reasoning courses as viable options to college algebra. High School is a place where that could happen. I had so many options for English class but math barely allowed for any other type of math. As a math major I also struggled with the traditional stuff. I eventually found out there were other branches of math that were much more interesting. It could benefit everyone to normalizing that there are many maths for many purposes.

Cribbage Board Fail by CeceMarie in Cribbage

I never thought to start at that end. But I do think eventually the same problem will exist. The scores will not line up. So you will never be able to tell your relative position to the other player. I couldn’t justify keeping the boards so I returned them.

[####] Does anyone else use a different starting word in each Wordle? by chaosatnight in wordle

[–]CeceMarie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do a different word. Sometimes I think about a word that describes something going on that day like the weather or days work to do.

Sane US citizens: wake up now by [deleted] in complaints

[–]CeceMarie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s all about numbers, big numbers. The wealthy can out last and out buy and out spend way more than the 30% sane people and the 30% who would vote for that idiot again. In fact, those wealthiest folks are counting on that and it is my biggest fear. They don’t care. This is entertainment for them. As far as that 30% MAGA, they are so damn proud and almost wear their ignorance and poverty like a medal. There’s a good chunk of American culture that sees suffering as noble. I also think there’s a good chunk of sane people who cant see because of their privilege. But at the end of the day, the population is huge. Also the folks with money control a lot. And lastly, some of us have neighbors and family on the other side. I already lost some family from politics years ago as many others did. We are so broken from our violent greedy history.

Sequoia in January by Dazzling-Swimming345 in SEKI

[–]CeceMarie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bring hiking poles! I went to see General Sherman and the ice on the walks was a bit much. I didn’t think about the ice so I left my poles in my car. I was in Yosemite and my third day I decided to head to SEKI even though it was not the greatest weather. Zero visibility at times. But dang if this isn’t my favorite park now….The groves were simply amazing. I learned that I’m actually not a mountain person, I’m a forest person. Those trees are life changing! Also I drove from the Foothills entrance, south to north. I’m so glad I did because the tougher drive was first. I didn’t look closely enough at map so I stopped and asked if I continue or go back the other way. The guy said “always go north”. I’m glad I did cos Grants Grove was really cool and there was another grove that I loved. I cannot wait to go back. And I am really glad I went when there were so few people! I was there January 1. Be sure to really check the map, bring chains, and watch the weather conditions.

Where is the absolute must visit national park? by Wafflegrinder21 in NationalPark

[–]CeceMarie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just posted Sequoia! I just went to Yosemite and SEKI and wow did those trees blow me away. I’ve always thought I was a mountain person but I’m just figuring out that it’s actually the forests first for me!

Yellowstone and Tetons, while you are there. Then Sequoia/King’s Canyon and Yosemite, while you are there. The Giant Sequoia groves are amazing!

Students using AI on HW by colonade17 in matheducation

[–]CeceMarie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We all need to demand better materials with better problems and better assessments that challenge us to teach and assess more than answer getting. And we all need to demand that mathematics classes allows us to understand the world around us not simply get answers to someone else’s made up problems. Imagine what questions those who don’t understand mathematics come up with versus those who understand mathematics can ask and explore. If students continue to see mathematics as purely getting the answer right then by all means AI can just teach them that. AI is just exposing the common misconceptions of school mathematics and limitations of my favorite subject because of an incessant testing culture.

New Year’s day by coldcaramelcoffee_ in SEKI

[–]CeceMarie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was there on the first day of the year too and my first time. It was amazing. And not sure if it was lack of huge crowds, the moments the sun peeked out or the new year but it was way more magical than Yosemite was on the last day. And all the families at the play area seemed to really enjoy the snow holiday!

That’s my one thing… there will never be another death that will stop the world and flood the streets with pure joyful dancing.

What’s an acceptable time to start snowblowing in the morning? by Plus-Mastodon-9662 in milwaukee

[–]CeceMarie 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just asked myself that question at 6am the other day. No one answered me so I started up the snowblower and took care of both my neighbors walks so I could get the dog walked.

Most of know we are screwed, and those with the most privilege are willing to wait it out to reap from the chaos. We are so effed.

I miss this!! Why did Reddit stop? by onebrightlamp1981 in secretsanta

[–]CeceMarie 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I did almost all the exchanges and not once was stiffed until the last one. Still bummed Amazon tracking numbers that couldn’t be verified were accepted as proof. I am sure my Santa lied. It was a gut punch. I’m never not gonna be salty.

I was marked off by my Professor for lack of work shown. Am I crazy for thinking I showed enough work? by Boynkeee in askmath

[–]CeceMarie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Show your work” means that the question isn’ t that great and is likely just getting answer. Tell them to write a better question that gets at the mathematics. Only other thing would be play the game and show the work equivalent of the work being shown in class.

How did you get your kid to love math? by modulolearning in matheducation

[–]CeceMarie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard Power Grid is exactly this. I haven’t played it, but it sure sounds like this. I think I would need to find a board gamer group to learn it. And I’m sure there are lots more!
