The Math Photo Challenge uses photos to reveal the intersection of mathematics, education and the world we see around us. To start #MathPhoto20 this year we challenge you to use a camera lens to reflect on #BlackLivesMatter. #MTBoS #ITeachMath pic.twitter.com/5KDn3ObjM7

I really like this post from @ChrisHunter36 on the mixed use of imperial and metric units here in Canada. I know that our official switch to metric happened in the 70s, so I was a kid at the time. I started learning Imperial then moved to metric. I also live next to Detroit so I have watched a lot of US TV. All that being said, I am pretty fluent in both measurement systems. But it seems that who ever made these adds must expect everyone to bet that way. Read on.
