A 2nd grader&4th grader joined me for a #mathisfun #mathwalk @DowntownRaleigh focused on geometry&form/function. We tried to sketch circular spaces w/ rectangular bricks, considered geometry in function/aesthetics, looked at odd number of design elements etal #mtbos #iteachmath

I'm getting #mathisfun exciting homework from my @Stanford #mathCircle @MathCircleNet students, including a "like" graph. #graphTheory and #discreteMath is so easy to begin to study and makes good intuitive sense. I've taught it to Kindergarteners - easy-peasy! #mtbos #iteachmath

Moving to the US from Colombia as a teenager presented many challenges. Learning English was definitely one of them!! Today after years of work and dedication, I have contributed to two books and have published my very own Math Play🙏🥰 #MathPlay🧮 #CodeBreaker #ITeachMath #MTBoS

In yesterday’s math circle, we played a game that challenged&excited the children, Kindergarteners through 3rd graders, gently touching on concepts such as nondeterminancy, probability, & induction, before we started geometric explorations. #mtbos @MathCircleNet #mathisfun

I know we are all teaching and learning under unprecedented circumstances but if you can, allow your students to do some #MathPlay. You will not be disappointed with the results, here are a few examples via @Desmos from precalc ss at #WeAreChappaqua #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathisFun

I loved hearing the story of how the characters of Ying and her mother were created to give girls a strong, mathematical role model!

I loved the steak analogy. You can not uncook a steak just like you can not take back scaffolds and clues that you have already given your students to solve a problem. Let them struggle a little!

One of the most inspirational presentations! I never knew how powerful and influential storytelling is. Talking with students about their lives allows them to feel appreciated, and connected. Teaching is truly a work of HEART. #trustthejourney

Today’s class was inspiring and fun. I loved the magic number square puzzles because it allows all students to participate and challenge themselves! I also loved the idea of sharing your stories along with their students sharing theirs as it creates a community! #EDU320

#EDU320 I absolutely loved the “steak” idea that emphasized that you should be challenging your students with every activity! Giving them only the little information they need and saving hints for later is a great way to enhance your students mathematical mindset!
