I compiled all of my weekly material and parent notes for this past 10-week quarter of #mathCircle for 1st and 2nd graders at Stanford Math Circle - what a #mathisfun list of topics! It all added up to 577 pages! #mtbos #iteachmath

Does anyone have an Algebra 2 end of year review they wouldn't mind sharing? It's my first time teaching Algebra 2 in over a decade and I would love to have a starting point - thanks in advance! 🙏 #iteachmath

Besides the IM curriculum for A1/G/A2, what are other good problem-based math curriculum for HS? Ones that follow the experience first, formalize later model. I also know of Math/Stats/Calc Medic. What else is out there?

I believe it was @lenadarnay.bsky.social and Ryan Murray, my colleagues from @keepinlearning.bsky.social who suggested we do the show. We talk about this topic often at our house and it’s particularly controversial for me, which you’ll understand if you listen!

Has anyone done the lazy caterer's sequence with middle or high school students? Looks like it could be fun, with connections to quadratic sequences, Pascal's triangle, and Euler's characteristic, which are all topics we've touched on this year. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lazy_ca... #iTeachMath

#MathTeachers, how do you wrap up lessons? Not the final phase of instruction, but just the final minute of class? Watching 100s of algebra lessons, most Ts either let kids work to the bell or make business anncmts at the end. Our nudge is to "put a bow on it." practicedrivenpd.com/instructiona...

The final problem in the Alg II Honors HW due today was to define a function that lives in each of the eight regions of the Venn diagram below. We discussed their attempts at answers in class. It was awesome. #iTeachMath

#MathsToday Today was day 1 of logarithms in #MHF4U so I presented students with this, inspired by James Tanton.
The picture shows the word power with subscript 2 of 8 equals 3 and power with subscript 5 of 25 equals 2, followed by nine more without the value for students to figure out.

Any suggestions for a fun real-world application of the Pythagorean Theorem for 8th graders? We've done some proofs and practice problems, as well as Desmos Taco Truck, but I'd love something hands-on where students could perhaps also do some modeling with real data? #iTeachMath #MTBoS
