• Discovered I didn't actually write the lesson I thought I had last week
• Posted an assessment without adding the problems the students were supposed to do

Happy Spring Semester everyone!

After a little help with a proof today a student exclaimed "OHHHHHHHHH! Transitivity is so powerful." and I'm not sure I could feel more accomplished as a math teacher.

I once heard a teacher say they didn't want to "low level" math courses because they would get bored teaching equations of lines over and over. I think I could teach equations of lines every day.

A student told me one thing she's nervous about next year is not recognizing her classmates because she doesn't know how tall anyone is and I can't stop thinking about it.

Nine days in and 95% of my summer so far has been elliptic curves, complex numbers, and Mario Kart.

Today in Linear Algebra two students were trying to show a pair of vectors were linearly dependent. One said "Maybe we can twist them and do the Gaussian thing", which made me think I might have actually properly taught and contextualized row reduction for the first time ever.

After distributing a group test I realized I had forgotten to delete the note "ANSWER: C" from below the last question. Students solved the problem anyway because they thought I very well might have put that there intentionally to mislead them. They get me.

I had to arrive late to school today and was welcomed with an unintended compliment from a colleague. When he walked by my classroom before I arrived, he saw my students hard at work on the task I had prepared for them in my absence. "I had no idea you weren't here."
