I have searched everywhere. Does anyone know what happened to Kahoot's Array Lab? It was the best and now it doesn't seem to be anywhere in Kahoot or on Dragonbox. @berkeleyeverett.bsky.social #iTeachMath

So I did a thing...Kudos to anyone who does podcasts regularly. I am always learning and growing so it feels vulnerable to have recorded my thoughts and feelings on this topic. Hope you enjoy it!

@joelbezaire.bsky.social Just discovering your Sports Analytics collection in Desmos. Digging in now but since I'm not super sporty, 1. Are these activities still relevant? 2. Do they need to be done in order or could students pick what interests them?

NEW: Decimal Square. mathsbot.com/tools/decima... Thanks to @joausten.bsky.social for the idea in his #MathsConf37 session. I've got a few more features I'd like to add to this, but I'm way too tired after the weekend!

A square split into 1000 smaller rectangles with 134 of them shaded to represent the decimal 0.134.

The future is unwritten. You get to help shape it. So what do you want it to look like? Move in that direction. Welcome friends to join you along the way. Even if they’re “late”. Even if you don’t agree on everything. If you can agree on a vision of the future together, they’re your people.

How many? (Before and after.) #UnitChat

A white plastic tray with several eggs in it. The back row has five eggs. The next row of eggs each fit between the eggs in the back row. The next row of eggs each fit between the eggs in the previous row. At the left-hand end of the middle row of eggs, and on both ends of the front row of eggs is an empty hole where an egg could sit.

The same tray from the previous picture, but some of the eggs are missing. Now the back row has only three eggs. The next row still fit in the gaps between the back row’s eggs. There are no eggs in the front row.

From a MS perspective I would say that understanding the number relationships is more important than being able to get an answer to a computation (because they will forget the things they don't actually understand)

Appreciative that the Math Institute of WI will be sponsoring 2 showings of this movie at #WisMath25. It feels extremely relevant today. I wonder how much more urgent it will feel in May? www.youtube.com/watch?v=M5a2...

This has me thinking about an 8th grade problem we just did about songs and albums and the cost. Students were getting confused because the table of numbers was different than they were used to. 30+0=15. 22+1=15 (number if songs and albums = $15) Love the connection to SMP2

There were a few key things I will remember as joyful during the pandemic and shut down. Doing #MathArtChallenge with my children is one of them. I am so grateful for @anniekp.bsky.social and her work. And happy for the reminder to start sharing this joy with students again.

The #math community seems to be growing here and becoming more active. I have presented on how to get the most of being in a community like this many times and here are my tips to grow this PLN and make it useful for educators. Bonus Tip - Use the Feeds: #MathChat #MTBoS #iTeachMath #MathSky

Tips to move beyond a “lurker”
(and/or start to interact with the Online Math Community)
Like - Who benefits: You (it acts like a bookmark) & the Poster (“Yay someone liked what I said”)
Repost - Who benefits: You (it acts like a bookmark), the Poster (“Wow, they liked enough to share it”) & the rest of us (Reposting sends it back to the top of the feed increasing the chance of your followers and their followers to see it)
Comment - Who benefits: You (interaction brings more friends and knowledge), the Poster (the conversation they started continues) & us (entices us to become part of the conversation too)
Post - Who benefits: You (sharing thoughts and resources help to hone your own ideas) & Everyone else (the more discussion, the higher the chance we all learn)
Tips for making your Posts more visible:
Add an image - including a visual has been shown to increase the interaction
Include hashtags (not too many) - a hashtag categorizes your Post and makes it visible to a wider audience than just your followers. Here are some math related hashtags that relate to education: #MathChat #MathsChat #MTBoS #iTeachMath #ElemMathChat #MathArt #MathSky
Tag some people (not too many) - you can tag relevant people (even those who don’t follow you) in the Post or in the Image to increase the conversation potential

One of my favourite puzzles for the weekend! What’s the area of the toppled square? #geometrypuzzle

A felt-tip drawing of five squares. On the right is a stack with area 3,12 and 27. On the left is a single square with area 12. And a large square containing a question mark rests at an angle in the centre.

chart from Children's Mathematics (Carpenter et al 2014) shows how kids direct model (objects/drawing representing all items) then how that shifts to counting strategies, then to "Flexible choice of strategies"- I see three types of OG subtraction here
