I'm finding myself thinking once again about motivation. It's never really very far from a teacher's mind. "How can I motivate my kids to...?" Several years ago I came across a homework activity called "Math About Me." It seemed like a great idea. I wanted my mathematicians to know that math surrounds them but more importantly that math is all about them and their own lives. Six-year olds tend to want to learn about things that are about them. Don't we all? I'm 40, and it's still true for me 34 years later. I've tweaked the activity a few times over the years from its original state, but I still send it home and ask kids to fill it out and return it to school. What do I do with it? Grade it? Slap a sticker on it and send it back home? Nope. Well, isn't it obvious? We've got ourselves another classroom book to make. Check it out. (Click on the picture for your own copy.)

We're already a few days into 2024, but I wanted to take this opportunity to look back at the previous year: globally, 2023 was not great for many people around the globe, with the continuation of the Ukrainian-Russian War and the reignition of the conflict in Gaza, claiming thousands of innocent victims. July was the hottest recorded month ever, which doesn't forebode well for our future. New developments in AI technology have increased the discussion of its economic and ethical ramifications.
