It's Global Math Week. For the last few years, lead by @JamesTanton and @GlobalMathProj, teachers around the world have been on a mission to spread joyous mathematics to their students. This year is no different and starting Oct 10 (10/10) we hope that you will bring the idea of Exploding Dots to your kids. Check out the website for all the activities.
