Day 2 of my 7th grade students enjoying the @intelino trains. Today they built an epic multi-level track. Then they added various coding commands using the included color chips. #stem #iteachmath

Since 1980, our standard license plate format in California has been 1AAA111. We are currently at 9 in the front and will run out of these plates in 2026. I have been thinking about this for years and assumed they would go to the format A111AAA which provides far more possibilities. 1/2 #iteachmath

I just learned of the passing of Roberta Flack. She is my all-time favorite female singer. What an amazingly beautiful voice. So many great songs - both solo and duets with Donny Hathaway. RIP, legend.

Hello #iteachmath, I am working on a game in #scratch called TENtris. It has Tetris-style gameplay, with the goal of making totals of 10 with falling digits. I would love it if you can have your students try it and provide some constructive feedback (TIA): scratch.mit.edu/projects/1130837008

I have been working on a Google Slides collection of math tasks that I am calling "180 Days of Math Tasks." So far I am one-third of the way with 60 tasks completed. I am hopeful to also include extensions and other add-ons as I think of them. The collection is here: bit.ly/180daysmath #iTeachMath
