Super excited about the new instructional routine I recently learned that develops data literacy, spatial reasoning, estimation skills, and a conceptual understanding of part-to-whole relationships - Paper Plate Circle Graphs! adultnumeracynetwork.org/Instructiona... #ANNMath #MTBOS #ITeachMath

Once again, a simple set-up yielded many questions and ribbit holes… ahem, rabbit holes, to explore. Super fun Community of Adult Math Instructors (CAMI) meeting on this swapping frogs problem! nyccami.org/ribbit/ #ANNMath #ITeachMath #MTBoS #AdultEdu
What do you notice? What do you wonder?

On the top row, there are two pink frogs facing right and two blue frogs facing left, with a single space between them. The frog pairs are facing towards each other. 

On the bottom, there are two blue frogs on the left, still facing left, and two pink frogs facing right, with a single space between them. The frog pairs are facing away from each other.

Thank you, @triangleyou.bsky.social for sharing this task they got from @howiehua.bsky.social! What patterns do you notice in the table? Will 1000 appear? If so, where? I'm not quite there yet, but I'm having such fun, in the spirit in which I received it, I invite others to play! #ANNMath
A table of numbers. 
Consecutive odd numbers across the top. Reading left to right: 1, 3, 5, 7...
The left column is made up of powers of 2 going down. Reading: 1, 2, 4, 8,...
The table can be completed by multiplying the odd numbers across the top by the powers of 2.
