Math Blog and Twitter by Southwest Math Teacher Annie Perkins

Happy Summer.  

If you have time this summer, check out Minneapolis Public School's math teacher Annie Perkin's math teaching blog 'Arbitrarily Close. Musings on math and teaching'.  In the last year Annie has become well known in the national and international math community (#MTBoS).  

Annie's latest post titled 'The mathematician project. Student Edition'. is great.  (note:  this prior post on the topic has a lot more information too.)  Annie has arguably the largest collection/list of mathematicians of color and women mathematicians.  Her list even was noticed by the people at Desmos.  They contacted her and used her list to populate 'Activity Builder' when you have students go into Anonymous mode.  Everyday in schools across the world, Annie's influence can be seen by teachers & students.

Annie has other great things/ideas at her blog.  Make sure to follow her on twitter or follow her blog to stay up to date on everything she shares.   She is just one of many Minneapolis math teachers doing great things.
