I just read a review describing chicken wings as “aggressively mediocre” and now I can’t stop thinking about what that means. 🧐 On a scale of 1 - 10, with 10 being the best, where would you rank aggressively mediocre and why? I need answers!! 😂

Here is another Guess Y for you. I’m including a couple of versions of the same context. How many different potential responses can we find for what the Y axis might be? #math #teachers #data #btc

This shows a graph where the X axis has pictures of bananas going from least ripe to overripe from left to right. The Y axis is labeled with a question mark. The data points are discreet. The first three dots are on zero for the green, half green, and slightly green bananas. The next above the yellow one goes up a tiny bit. The one after that that has some brown on it goes up even more. The last two are really high over the dark brown bananas.

I developed a new math talk routine I’m calling Guess Y? I’d love some feedback. Check out the image and let me know what you think the Y axis could be. #math #teaching

The image shows a coordinate grid Q1 with peppers below the x axis. From left to right is: Bell pepper, poblano, jalapeño, cayenne, habanero, ghost, carolina reaper. The y axis is labeled with a question mark. The graph shows a negative slope going from the highest visible point above bell pepper to 0 over Carolina reaper.
