Wait, another NEW SIM!
Our classic Calculus Grapher is now in #HTML5, with multiple new features, like the ability to explore tangents, area under the curve, and a predict mode.
Check it out!!

Challenge: prove that the blue path and the red path have equal lengths.
No spoilers, please!
Instead, share thoughts on useful hints to help students with this problem.

Huge thanks and hat tip to @DavidKButlerUoA for this problem!

For more than 50 years, mathematicians have sought an “einstein”--a simple shape that can only tile the plane nonperiodically. Now a retired print technician has found one! My latest for @QuantaMagazine quantamagazine.org/hobbyist-…

Latest from me in Schools Week on why ChatGPT is great but doesn't mean we have to re-imagine the curriculum.
It's "You can't just look it up", 2023 version!

Chatbots are not going to be revolutionary for teachers or schools or learning. But they might prompt changes in how we do things.

The best teachers aren’t perfect teachers, they are human teachers - they go off on tangents, they explore stuff, they focus on the detail but make mistakes, they have fun but they are serious about the job - the students love these teachers.

A short thread on one of my favorite Pre-Calculus topics: Tangent Lines!
Given a polynomial P(x), divide by (x - a)² and write in quotient-remainder form. By the division algorithm, the remainder has lower degree than the divisor. This means the remainder is linear.
