Definitive Proof
I know around people believe that blogs should last 100% personal or 100% professional. I've never been 1 of those people. I dearest reading virtually what you lot guys, my MTBoS friends, are doing inwards your classrooms, but I also dearest reading virtually your adventures exterior the classroom. I similar hearing virtually your hobbies, your kids, your shopping adventures, or fifty-fifty what you lot ate for breakfast on occasion.
The MTBoS. We aren't a grouping of professionals sharing best practices. We're a grouping of friends sharing what nosotros love. It but in addition to hence happens that each in addition to every 1 of us loves math. :) And, along the way, we've institute out that nosotros accept a whole lot of other things inwards common, too.
I've made a lot of friends through the MTBoS. Friends who challenge me to intend critically virtually the means I create things. Friends who back upward me. Friends who inspire me. Friends who brand me laugh. Friends who but naturally "get" me.
This post service isn't virtually friends inwards general, though. It's virtually 1 specific friend I've made inwards the MTBoS. A spider web log reader who became a tweep. A tweep who became a friend. A friend who became my best friend.
Now comes the fourth dimension where I say you lot that I've been keeping a subway scheme from you lot since May. A actually large secret. The biggest subway scheme I've e'er kept. The hardest subway scheme I've e'er kept. The most life-changing subway scheme I've e'er kept.
You mightiness accept noticed a lack of spider web log posts virtually Twitter Math Camp. That's because I wasn't at Twitter Math Camp. I wasn't fifty-fifty inwards the United States.
I gauge it's fourth dimension to properly innovate you lot to my favorite fellow member of the MTBoS.

I left a few comments myself. How could I non when he was blogging virtually materials similar math games, foldables, in addition to cutting in addition to gluing inwards math class? Unfortunately, Shaun's comments weren't working 1 day, in addition to I ended upward having to tweet him instead of leaving a spider web log comment. The to a greater extent than nosotros tweeted dorsum in addition to forth, the to a greater extent than nosotros realized but how much nosotros had inwards mutual exterior of beingness math(s) teachers. Tweeting led to Skyping. Skyping led to dating. Dating led to Shaun spending his summertime inwards America. And, that led to me spending x weeks of my summertime inwards Australia.
And, on the twenty-four threescore minutes stream I got off the plane, this happened:
My best friend asked me to conjoin him. Of course, I said yes. You tin read Shaun's version of the storey here.
