Thanksgiving dinner is basically a math problem in disguise. Cook times, start times, oven rotations… it’s all one big logic puzzle that ends in carbs! Shoutout to math for helping the rolls and mashed potatoes cross the finish line warm and on time #MathTeacher #MathLife

It was a 3-whiteboard-and-a-multiplication-table kind of a problem! #wesowls #itsworthit #mathforlove

A little parent math talk with kids might really add up It’s common knowledge that parents should talk and read to their young children. But are there similar things that parents can do to lay the foundation for success in math? A new wave of research says yes. Here are three takeaways from 22 studies conducted over the past dozen years: The link between parent math talk and higher math skills Researchers found that the more parents talked about math with their children, the stronger their children’s math skills. In these studies, researchers typically observed parents and children interacting in a university lab, a school, a museum or at home and kept track of how often parents mentioned numbers or shapes.

Just because it’s almost winter break, doesn’t mean the math stops! We’ve been getting a big picture view of the connections in measurement. #itsworthit #wesowls #mathweb

I think she was breaking 7 x 2/3 into (7 x 1/3) x 2.

To find 7 x 1/3, she was looking for the mixed number equivalent of 7/3. She figured out that 3=9/3 and 2=6/3. Since 6/3 is only one less than 7/3, she reasoned that 7/3 =2 1/3.
