Pyplot figure of atmospheric CO2 data oscillating while increasing from 1958 to present. A model is well-fit to the data.
Another student sent an update on modeling the atmospheric CO_2 data, and was able to get the model:
a sin(b(x +c)) + d + ex +f x^2
to fit quite nicely.

We actually do math in our math PD, and the same is true for most of our podcast episodes. That shouldn't be weird.

The top left main image shows a square-like geometric design created with pattern blocks. The design has two components. At the center is an orange square surrounded by four green triangles, then four tan rhombuses, eight orange squares and four green triangles. Around this center are four flower-like arrangements. Each “flower” is made by placing four yellow hexagons and four tan rhombuses around a central orange square. The images along the bottom and on the right show the progression of the design.
New pattern block play for April! Using squares and rhombuses from classic pattern blocks to create designs. #PatternBlocks #iTeachMath
New workshop just dropped:
Developing Mathematical Reasoning in Companion Animals. 🐾
Because reasoning > memorizing… even for pets.
Happy April Fool’s Day! 😄

Join us with Dani Jackson to hear about explicit instruction for problem solving on Thursday, April 2 at 7 PM EST www.facebook.com/math4allshow or tinyurl.com/5hdrd5zd @mollyvokey.bsky.social @heidisabnani.bsky.social #iteachmath #iteachmaths #math4all
Use 9 different factors of 510 in a 3 by 3 grid. The numbers in the top row add to 42. The numbers in the middle row add to 16. The numbers in the bottom row add to 188. The numbers in the left column add to 186. The numbers in the middle column add to 50. The numbers in the right column add to 10.
Start your day with this #yohaku. Fill in cells with 9 different factors of 510 to get totals shown in each row/column. #mathsky #iTeachMath

Puzzle #2
The number 403 is created out of fifteen matchsticks.
Modify the position of two matchsticks to get a number divisible by 9.
This puzzle was published on @nytimes.com and on @theguardian.com.

Image of a hand-written 0, composed of pixel values, next to an image of a 1 also composed of pixel values.
In #MathsToday we started our feature-engineering project with 0s and 1s from MNIST
Given a spreadsheet or DataFrame where each row contains 784 pixel values representing an image of a hand-written digit, how can we distinguish a 0 from a 1?

If your students liked math until the alphabet got involved, there's a good chance they're stuck in additive thinking.

This image shows pattern block designs arranged in a 4 by 4 grid, with the center four squares merged to highlight a larger design. It features 13 unique pattern block creations from March. The images show six double hexagons arranged around a central hexagon with six regular hexagons added to fill in the gaps between the double hexagons, completing the radial pattern.
Looking back at some of the shapes and designs from my pattern block play in March! #21CenturyPB #iTeachMath

TIL: A German colloquialism for "quadratic formula" is Mitternachtsformel which translates, literally, to "middle-of-the-night-formula". That is, a formula which is so deeply memorized that if awakened in the middle of the night, the student could recite it. #iteachMath #MathsToday
Exciting - we're kicking off the spring 10-week quarter at Stanford with another session of 1st/2nd grade #mathCircle. Our first topic is Perfect Rulers - but not like these majesties. I'll see if the children can have "measured" guesses at to what this topic is :-) . #mtbos #iteachmath #mathisfun
