Why are coral reefs important, and how can we protect them? Spark a classroom discussion about how reefs support marine life, why many are under threat, and what role sunscreen chemicals may play. (Grades: 6-12) bit.ly/4wl2bRa

A city becomes yours not when you're born there, but when you care for it. 🌱🌟 When 21-year-old Cheenglai Lapka Chongtham and 30 fellow Manipuri students saw waste piling up in Dehradun, they chose action over complaints. Together, they removed over 600 kg of waste and inspired a movement of 2,000+ young changemakers. Their story proves that responsibility has no borders. 💚 Would you join a cleanup drive in your city? #EnvironmentalAwareness #CommunityAction #YouthLeadership #CleanIndia #SustainableLiving [Community Clean-Up Drive, Youth-Led Environmental Movement, Waste Management Initiative, Environmental Conservation, Civic Responsibility India, Japan, FIFA World Cup 2026, Dallas Stadium]

Replying to @Cleartrip
@Cleartrip can't get more lousy. A horrible experience receiving the refund for a flight cancelled by the airlines. More than a month and only 50% received yesterday. @IATA to take note.

@IndiGo6E claims to have refunded the entire amount though they still haven't returned the seat booking charges. @Cleartrip days we must raise a request to release that amount. Why!? And then only 50% released! What thieves! @IATA please note

@IndiGo6E agents will ask all questions but refuse to tell me how much was refunded. They won't even send me an email stating that all ticket costs and seat booking charges have been refunded. What shady business is this @IATA ?

In this community post I want to put links to some highly engaging games and interactive environments (freely available) which help people explore high-brow concepts in both programming and mathematics. If you know of any other fun place to visit, simply post below. Have fun! Lean: adam.math.hhu.de/ A collection of highly engaging programming puzzles which help you learn how mathematics is proved and formalized. You will never see in the same way the hardness of 5*7=7*5 anymore. NandGame: nandgame.com You make your own processor from scratch (even NAND is made from simpler circuitry). Highly addictive and super fun! Quantum Flytrap: lab.quantumflytrap.com/ This is where you will finally get some understanding of the quantum computations. Colorful, limitless, engaging and mathematically very deep. Scratch: scratch.mit.edu Learn programming the fun way. Euclidea: euclidea.xyz Learn how to perform constructions with ruler and compass. It used to be part of the school eduction but now it's an app. Fun and very informative. Planarity: jasondavies.com/planarity/ Try to find a graph embedding which shows that it is indeed planar. Golly: golly.sourceforge.io The ultimate cellular automata explorer. If you want to dig deeper: SageMath: sagemath.org It's a powerful computer algebra system with Python syntax. It's ideal for courses and the syntax of SageMath is much closer to regular mathematical discourse. I likea teaching courses with SageMath. GeoGebra: geogebra.org You can do proofs, calculations and interative applets. It's a fun way to learn many different facets of undegraduate maths. Wolfram Demonstration Projects: demonstrations.wolfram.com A collection of mathematical applets which can help you understand very sophisticated topics. You don't need Mathematica to run but you need it to design your own applets. The Mechanics of Proof (by Heather Macbeth): hrmacbeth.github.io/math2001… It's a book with an interactive GitHub repo where you can learn more comprehensively the structure and syntax of Lean. An Illustrated Theory of Numbers (by Martin H. Weissman): illustratedtheoryofnumbers.c… This is a textbook about elementary number theory with applications. And these applications are available from the website as a collection of free Jupyter Notebooks that teach you the key concepts. Graphical Linear Algebra: graphicallinearalgebra.net In illustrated and to some extent interactive way of learning deep concepts in algebra. HomotopyContinuation.jl: juliahomotopycontinuation.or… This is an incredibly beautiful and interactive (with Julia) way of learning some highly complex ideas from algebraic geometry (connected components, homotopy continuation method) and with applications to very special algebraic systems which come from applications. You can learn Julia on the way. Mathamaze: mathamaze.co.uk It's an experience by Helena Verrill. Beautiful geometry, tilings, patterns. Simply wonderful. Hard to explain: n: the way of the ninja: thewayoftheninja.org If you think mathematics is hard. Learn the patience the hard way. Warning: highly addictive HyperRogue: roguetemple.com/z/hyper/ You can learn hyperbolic geometry in a rogue-like environment.

This is amazing - a periodic table showing every element and how it’s used. Chemistry really is everywhere. 🔬✨ What’s your favorite element?

Steering Assessment in lieu of #FormativeAssessment. A lot becomes clearer when the purpose is embedded in the name. This might dissuade teachers from treating FA as bite-sized SA (which it isn't).

I’m very intentional about how I start my classes. But I admit, I’m less intentional about how I end them. What are your most effective end of class routines?

And this would just be the beginning. The more we realise that our cognition and intelligence is more than just our brain, the more we stand to gain.
To help kids learn their ABCs, get ‘em up and moving! 🤸 Here’s what the research says about this game-changing practice.
