To summarize 1 student in my #thinkingclassroom: This class is like a cooking show - you're the head chef who goes around to all the cooking stations, asks ?s about we're cooking and gives us tips and suggestions. @eleanor_pusey @pgliljedahl

#TryThisTuesday As Close As It Gets is a super sense making routine, where you don't have to solve the problem, just choose the answer that's the closest. #MathIsFigureOutAble #MathChat #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd #Mathematics

There would be one episode, cause they would all give up.
Now that would be interesting.

Wow! It’s like having your own private tutor
Did you hear? @OpenAI's newest model can reason across audio, vision, and text in real time. How does GPT-4o do with math tutoring?🤔 @salkhanacademy and his son test it on a Khan Academy math problem. You can get AI-powered math tutoring right now with Khanmigo: khanmigo.ai/parents

“New Math” isn’t actually new. It’s just a better explanation of what you were originally taught.
What opinion about math education has you defending it like this?

The music tools embedded into the fraction bars on Polypad can be leveraged to engage students in math and help them make meaning of fraction concepts. Read this blog to learn how educator Jenna Laib has done just this. Amazing work @jennalaib! jennalaib.wordpress.com/2024…

Other, but it would be something like C, but completely random. I grab the eggs based on looks, not position 🤷‍♀️ most people would probably want to rearrange my egg cartons.
I don't mean to start any drama or anything, but if you had 6 eggs left in your egg carton, how would you place them?

A math challenge I had today: My friend turned 33. I bought a cake but there are no "3" candles. How would you make 33 using 0s, 5s, 7s, and 9s?
