I love this!!

I verbally model this for students long enough until they start to believe it.
Saying ‘we can do hard things’.
Designing tasks that have natural progression and increase in complexity.
Being there with an helpful push/question, or better yet highlight a successful student to help them.

#mathstoday I am presenting optimization using a MathMedic lesson involving LaCroix cans. I’m also using a well-loved Desmos activity I created on rational functions. #iteachmath #MTBoS

I like this idea! I’m doing one of those well-loved Desmos activities today🤣.
I post answers to problem sets at the same time I assign the work. Giving students access to answers on a regular basis is very helpful for them. I don’t need to be the ‘gate-keeper’ of answers esp w AI solvers available.

My math teacher friends! Fun stuff to share with students on Monday! Some MATH for 2025: 1. 2025 itself is a PERFECT square: 45² = 2025 2. It is a product of two squares, namely: 9² × 5² = 2025 3. It is the sum of THREE squares, namely: 40² + 20² + 5² = 2025 4. The last perfect square? 1936 44² = Year 1936 5. It is the sum of the cubes of all the digits from 1 to 9: 1³ + 2³ + 3³ + 4³ + 5³ + 6³ + 7³ + 8³ + 9³ = 2025 6. It is also the squared sum of all the numbers from 1 to 9: (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9)²=2025

Making the rounds on teacher FB right now. Yes, this is what teachers do on our holidays 😂. #MathChat

David, that’s great! My son and I as well as my classes will be patiently looking forward to it!
Thank you!

I looked for the Mathigon puzzle this year and can’t find it.
Does anyone have info on that? @amplify @desmos #iteachmath
I like to post these in class for my students.

Hello! I’m from Ohio.
Happy to find #mtbos friends here!

Maybe ‘we’ are those people now.
I don’t always open this app, but like others I think I’m transitioning here.
Let’s create it! (I don’t teach stats though so that’s going to be hard for me to reply…🤦🏻‍♀️)

We need a discrete course… We have a Market Math course that kids enjoy around the stock market.

Let me know if I can help on your panel or proofread anything for you!

This is so amazing!! So proud of you!

I love the perspective of getting them to write because statements to justify their understanding nearly on. Thanks for linking your blog too!!

Back in years 1-4 I started in geometry. I loved it and think I’ve got a strong background there. Now w Desmos and geogebra, there’s so many great resources. Thanks for sharing your resources!
I’m a bit anxious about the discipline and the need for more structure compared to my 12th graders.😬

Hi all! Hope to connect w my Twitter math people!!
I might get classes of 10th grade geometry next year😳😬. I’ve had 11/12th Precalc/Calc for about 16 years.
I need best strategies to be firm and hold this accountable. (Discipline is my weakness)
What do you love about 10th Geom?
