I wonder if @standupmaths.bsky.social is rage baiting here. That being said, as a teacher I appreciate the flexibility with variable choice.
The Pythagorean theorem written as a squared equals b squared + c squared.

Came across this quote from Project Hail Mary “Math is not thinking. Math is procedure. Memory is not thinking. Memory is storage. Thinking is thinking.” Really making me think about teaching mathematics. Where does math become thinking? #iteachmath #MTBoS

Mathematics Portfolios for Competencies
As mathematics educators, we focus a lot of time and energy on mathematical content. Our students can optimize surface area, complete the square, and find intersections of functions. But, what about m...

BC has a grade 11 math history course!! Have any BC math educators on here taught this course? If so, what was your experience?

@canadasocceren.bsky.social deciding to weight the World Cup ticket lottery based on membership fees is yet another example that they don't seem to care about growing soccer across this country. How is the average fan supposed to compete with the richest who can afford $5000?

I’ve been thinking a lot about mathematical creativity recently. How do you approach this in your classroom? Where do you see it? #MTBoS #iteachmath

Has anyone out there used Knowledge Forum for learning portfolios before? I found it in an interesting article, but it doesn't seem to exist online anymore. Also, if you have recommendations for online portfolio software let me know - thanks! #MTBos #teaching #portfolios

I anm experimenting with group warm ups before assessments. Ss get 3 problems to work on in a small group that are related to the assessment before getting the assessment. Noticing a lot fewer questions of me during the assessment, and much less stress. Anyone doing something similar? #iteachmath

Do you ask your students to know formulas? Or do you provide them for assessments? Thinking of the quadratic formula here, but could be applied to a lot. What’s your rationale? #iteachmath

Hey BC Math Educators! I'm looking for some quick insight into schools that are offering Computer Science 11 or 12, or especially any schools that are teaching it in tandem with Pre-calculus 11/12 or another math course. Thanks! #mathed #iteachmath

I designed this @desmos.bsky.social activity to have students explore the vertex form of a parabola, first by reviewing point-slope form. It was an intro activity that will lead into a lesson. Would love feedback or for people to try it out! #mathed #iteachmath teacher.desmos.com/activitybuil...

Inspired by the More or Less Podcast, one plan I have with my students in 2024 is to explore statistics that are presented in the media in bite-sized tasks. For example, Do We See 10 000 adverts in a day? www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p... #MathEd #iteachmath #iteachmaths #mathiseverywhere
bbc.co.uk
BBC Radio 4 - More or Less: Behind the Stats, Do we see 10,000 adverts per day?
We investigate the claim that each of us sees thousands of adverts every single day

Have you ever heard of Pick’s Theorem? Some folk call it Pick’s Formula. It is my favorite mathematical hidden gem. Whatever you call it, here is my blog post for how you can discover the formula. #RecreationalMath #iTeachMath theothermath.com/ind...

I and a few other teachers have been asked to sing bass for our school choir (which has no bass singers). My students are beyond excited for this, despite the fact that I'm nervous as heck. A reminder to myself to be as excited about their learning and performance as they are of mine.
