The "reasonable precision" being most in question with this representation? Appreciate the convo on this!

Today Andrea and I cohosted SoCal Math Leaders network and did Outrangeous from Math Games with Bad drawings....it was joyful!!!

Feels like a 3-act in the making, for those who make pies during holidays. #iteachmath

15 pies on a counter in front of Martha Stewart. Post "total pies baked 35 - chocolate pecan, brown butter maple rum pecan, pumpkin phyllo, apple crumb and cranberry. Took two days, 100 eggs, 14 pounds pecan halves, eleven jars Karo syrup, 25 pounds heckers flour, thirty pounds plugra butter, six cups maple syrup, 60 ounces pumpkin puree, 18 cups free cranberries, etc..."

Yesterday, two colleagues were talking about heated car seats being a game changer. And today, 7 years after getting my car, I finally tried them out and have to agree. Here's to trying things that have been right in front of us all along, just waiting to change our lives. #UDL #gamechanger

Today we tested out "outrangeous" from Math Games with Bad Drawings (Ben Orlin) and were not disappointed! The questions folks came up, the cheers and collaboration - all so very worth it. Not sure what the equivalent #iteachmath rating is to 2 thumbs up, but it totally gets whatever that is!

Audrey Mendivil @audreymendivil.bsky.social · 19/11/2024

Have you seen Ben Orlin's Math for English Majors? He parallels all of math with parts of grammar and language, and has some thoughts on this.

So if you can't get to NCSM/TM, or you go but find there are too many sessions in one time slot, don't worry - SoCal has your back with CMC-S. Many of the same national speakers head to Palm Springs.

I think conferences can be fun to attend, but if you want to amp up the PL, plan to present a session. I've found it's the greatest stretch opportunity and a place for supportive feedback. And #cmcmath south is the perfect place to do it - apply by 4/7 cmc-south.org/conference. #MTBoS

Hey Rachel - I have a group trying this on in a middle school, too. They are collecting some data, surveys, etc. Not sure if that's useful for your team and/or you're interested in collaboration.

Audrey Mendivil @audreymendivil.bsky.social · 01/02/2024

Got caught in a convo w/ Geo teacher today - proofs are still top of mind, not necessarily style so much as how to help students to realize when they've said/shown enough (or not) to actually prove something. That seems like a shift in the convo. Others hearing same/different?? #iTeachMath

Audrey Mendivil @audreymendivil.bsky.social · 31/01/2024

I LOVE chatting geometry, but I'm not in the classroom currently. Seems like the community here is still small and growing, but if there's something you need - always happy to amplify or ask beyond here and report back

I've recently seen lots of the penny task circulating around - would you rather $lumpsum or $0.01 doubled for # days ??

Audrey Mendivil @audreymendivil.bsky.social · 25/01/2024

Good point. Each one was an active/conscious choice at one point. Makes me think maybe it's a bit of a digital ofrenda, keeping memories alive.

Catriona Agg (on the bird or IG) always inspires me geometrically

Calc seems like an appropriate math-maturity to learn this, but maybe not yet to know/understand/abide by it.

100

Audrey Mendivil @audreymendivil.bsky.social · 06/01/2024

I would have. That way I can test their calculus knowledge not their retention of a 7th grade formula. BUT, I'd also use the info to reengage students later on how to figure out area formulas when you get stuck and can't look them up.

Audrey Mendivil @audreymendivil.bsky.social · 31/12/2023

The math you see when driving around town. This one prompted the 9yo to ask how many different things people really get to choose from to make this many options. What would be your next question in response? #mtbos #ITeachMath

The last time I had something like this happen, it was that it was out of print. I was able to get a copy of what I was looking for at a library (albeit one connected to a IHE). Any chance that might be an option for you? I can try searching local to me, but not sure that would help much...

This is definitely where I spend most of my work thinking time! That and symmetry of design (from Jal Mehta and Sarah Fine) - considering how we design PL for teachers that honors voice, autonomy, curiosity, etc.

Audrey Mendivil @audreymendivil.bsky.social · 08/12/2023

Super interested to hear what you're trying. I have some friends trying out Liljedahls revised ideas on note taking, and always looking for others.

Audrey Mendivil @audreymendivil.bsky.social · 04/12/2023

I've definitely done some thinking on this, too. To add to the thread - I have a degree in mathematics but didn't identify as a mathematician for a long time because I thought someone else got to define it, and from what I understood, my identity markers excluded me.

Audrey Mendivil @audreymendivil.bsky.social · 30/11/2023

Diving into PBL design w/ a T, hoping to center math (but connect/interact/integrate w/ other content). Looking for the right amount of supports for teachers - more than just the guiding Q and potential math but less than a produced pblworks kind of thing. What would you include? #iTeachMath
