Discussed infinitesimals in math history today (Newton used o to denote such a quantity). My student made this meme

Tired: All math needs to be motivated by the "real world." Wired: No it doesn't. Inspired: Numbers and shapes and all the rest of math IS the real world. xitter.cf/solidangles/status/172…

Not everything needs a “““real-world””” application. And insisting on contriving one for every single topic does more harm than good.

Why does dividing by 0 fail in different cases like in 1/0 vs 0/0?

Don’t ban ChatGPT from the classroom. Educators must develop new assignments that guide students to find and refine their own voice in collaboration with AI tools. Schools must usher students to the future, not hide from powerful technological developments.

Design your exams that even cheating is a learning experience. Let them cheat, they still have to deal with the content. And most of adult life is to know where you find information. If they cheat they prep the cheating = work with material. Trust the process, most don’t cheat.

Hey, Atlanta RGC fam, maybe don’t come to R1 today. An active shooter fled from Midtown and may still be in the Cumberland area. Most of the mall is closed right now. Stay safe, y’all.

"What is the value of 24÷4(8÷4) = ?" The answer is zero: the value of this is zero. This has zero pedagogical, mathematical, or logical value. Oh wait, it has value to people trying to assert superiority over other people.

If anyone wants to know where I am mentally until the end of the semester:
First panel: Mary Jane: Tell me the truth. I'm...I'm ready to hear it. Second panel: Peter Parker: If you want to be done with grading, you actually need to grade. Third panel: Mary Jane about to cry.
