I wrote a book, Teaching Math With Examples, (John Catt, 2021).

You can read an excerpt from it and you can also see some of my own example activities.

Here are some other education-related things that can give you a sense of my work:

The rest of my writing on education and teaching is scattered across several blogs and websites, unfortunately. At one point a few years ago I tried to collect some highlights but it's incomplete.

• "Stupid Wolves," Outlook Springs (Forthcoming)
• "Groucho's Full Quote," BULL (January 2024)
• "Joseph and Mary Ask Jesus to Come Home for Hanukkah," Points in Case (December 2023)
• "Buddy, You Went and Messed with the Right Guy," Points in Case (September 2022)
• "Reasons for Unsubscribing Besides "I Don't Want to Receive These Emails"," Points in Case (August 2022)
• "I Am A Mad Scientist, And I Am Begging You To Just Trust Scientists," Slackjaw (December 2021)
• "A Time to Die," essay in Tablet (August, 2021)
• "Talmud Responds to Alice Walker," short humor in Tablet (December 2018)
• "Remembering Hilary Putnam," obituary in Tablet (March, 2016)
