A slide showing that in Ohio, trapezoids are defined as quadrilaterals with at least one pair of parallel sides, and in Pennsylvania trapezoids are defined as quadrilaterals with exactly one pair of parallel sides
The trapezoid debate will never die! @rob-baier.bsky.social @cluzniak.bsky.social @zakchamp.bsky.social @debatemath.bsky.social #TeamInclusive #NCSMRiseUp
The final mini-debate is out!
Should math games be competitive or collaborative?
Hear what @mikeflynn55.bsky.social & @zakchamp.bsky.social have to say!

This one runs deep.
The surprisingly complex question, "How many stairs?" has perplexed and kept so many of us curious for months now!
Take a listen to see where @mikeflynn55.bsky.social and I land on how to count stars.
But, this also means that it has been nearly 5 years since the great trapezoid debate began. cc: @rob-baier.bsky.social @cluzniak.bsky.social @berkeleyeverett.bsky.social and so many others that engaged in that debate.
Just popping in here to remind you all that 5 years ago today Taylor Swift announced Folklore.
Which means that it has been exactly 5 years since @sneffleupagus.bsky.social and the rest of that Mt. Holyoke cohort did NOT interrupt my teaching to let me know it was announced.
I still feel hurt.
What are you doing for your own personal and professional growth this summer?

This sounds amazing! I’m only in town Monday night. It’s gonna be a quick trip for me.
But I could potentially meet up for a later meal or drinks afterwards!
Come join us for some fun summer math learning!

So excited to hit up Green Lake for @wismathcouncil next week with some of my fave speakers ever like @zakchamp.bsky.social, @dykemamath.bsky.social, @latrendak.bsky.social, @mathematize4all.bsky.social, @lieslmcconchie.bsky.social, @crystalmwatson.bsky.social + so many more! C U IN THE LAKE 👙🏊♂️
Beyond up for that!! Let’s make it happen.
Currently through the first two chapters of the teachers guide. Lots of learning there for me!
I finally got @triangleman.bsky.social’s How Did you Count? in front of some 2nd graders today!
Their work reminded me that math should be about honoring thinking, engaging with other’s ideas, and trusting the math that lives in our students’ heads.

Do you ever overthink the math in your favorite mobile based video game?
I do.
Please tell me I’m not alone in this.

Fair.
It was infamous within a small circle of us because I built a math task from it and it ended up with more questions than answers. And we spent a lot of time talking about it.
So when Mike and I got to go together, it was closer to a pure definition of infamous.
More Mike and Zak Shenanigans from Seattle.
MIke - “Do we need to get a scooter?”
Zak - “It’s for the good of the cause, guys.”

Thanks Tim! It was fun to make with my team at @flynneducation.bsky.social
I created this immersive math task for our math play date last week.
You can download it at bit.ly/ShuffleArt. Enjoy!

Math from a poet.
This is the coolest thing that @mikeflynn55.bsky.social and I did when he was here in Washington!

Triangles of all sizes and shapes are also safe with us.
See you then!
Note: No trapezoids will be harmed at any of the three playdates.
