Highly recommend this course about supporting the range of learners in the elementary classroom, whatever math curriculum you are using. #iteachmath #mtbos
Here's a math music video, with animations made in @desmos.com.
"Imagine All the Numbers": a song about imaginary numbers, to the tune of Imagine by John Lennon.
I hope you enjoy it! I'll be singing it at MoMath in their Open Set math song event. #iTeachMath #MTBoS

✂️🧵 Saturday was #NationalHandmadeDay. To celebrate, I used @diffitapp.bsky.social to create a guided experience where students hand-make their own Empirical Rule reference tools. Check it out: tinyurl.com/3h86j93d #DiffitSpringRemix #DiffitAmbassador #StatsChat #MTBoS #iTeachMath #EduSky

Relational Thinking - using what you know to reason. It's a great instructional routine.
How are you thinking about this problem?

Saturday was National School Librarian Day! 📚 The math shows that our librarians are the ultimate investment experts. I used @DiffitApp to build this Library ROI activity tinyurl.com/3ry3werf #DiffitSpringRemix #DiffitAmbassador #FinLit #NationalSchoolLibrarianDay #iTeachMath #MTBoS #EduSky
Such a great problem with so many slick strategies! Which do you prefer? Or your own?

I'm pleased to discover just now that both of our proposals for #NCTMDEN26 got accepted! Thanks to Dr. Kristopher J. Childs and the rest of the @nctm.org program committee for their hard work! Hope to see you in Denver in October. #MTBoS #ITeachMath
I love teaching #mathCircle! We are underway the first week at Stanford with the spring quarter and I just published a compiliation (534 pages, 288 without student exemplars!!) of our work from last quarter on the integer partition problem - such a #mathisfun and rich topic! #mtbos #iteachmath

I came up with a challenging but #mathisfun problem for my level 2 students. I wonder how they will approach this! #mtbos #iteachmath
Plot of FEV for Smokers and Non-Smokers. Smokers appear to have a higher FEV which can be (erroneously) inferred as having "healthier" lungs.
We recently looked at the very user-friendly Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV) data set as an exercise in data slicing and visualization:
colab.research.google.com/drive/1u7qb6...
Got an excited message from a student: "We think we can show that smoking is good for your lungs!"

"If you don't know how to explain a math concept using barely any words, then you probably also don't know which words to use to explain it verbally."
#MTBoS, is this true?
I have been leaning toward believing this is (mostly) true.
When you meet lovely people who are making a difference.
Thanks for a great time Sam and Jenn!

💡 Teacher tip: Want to see how students use embedded calculators during math lessons?
From your teacher dashboard, click to view a student's screen. If they used the calculator, the icon will be highlighted and ready for review!

You don’t have to have all the answers to lead powerful math discussions.
Inviting students into the thinking builds confidence, ownership, and deeper understanding.

I offer infinite retakes on my quizzes, which are one-question quizzes focused on a specific skill. But creating another version of a 15-question math test? I can’t create and grade infinite versions of that. Teachers don’t get enough time to do that. #MTBoS #ITeachMath
Unfortunately, this article fails to address a major roadblock to test retakes: creating another test often takes a lot of time, especially for math, unless the problems are all routine (which they shouldn’t be). I can’t easily make up another authentic word problem from scratch. #MTBoS #ITeachMath
I am still thinking hard about the ramifications of not only saying the denominator first, but also writing it first. In Korean, one names a fraction with the denominator, then the numerator.
Surely that affects understanding?!
