wake up ⏰‼️ new PWYM just dropped

Wonderful news, @triangleman.bsky.social! Looking forward to using it with future math teachers in our teacher education program.

Valentine's Day math activity: Making intertwined hearts using Möbius strips #math #ITeachMath #EduSky youtu.be/XUDho5Mu0Z8?...

Question for #MTBoS #iteachmath: What are your favorite websites to go to for either (1) Warm Up activities or (2) 3-act math tasks? Some of the sites I've used over the years have moved or are no longer active. So trying to get some fresh ideas and update my list!

Do you need more math puns in your life? Check out my new book: A Very Variable Adventure. It’s packed full of math jokes on every page. Now free on Amazon for a limited time. www.amazon.com/Very-Variabl... #MtBos #iteachmath #edusky #mathsky #mathjokes

[New Post] Ontario Math Links - My favourite #math related links from this week: ontariomath.blogspot.com/2025/01/math... Links and help from @mathsjem.bsky.social @druinok.bsky.social @r-cilr.bsky.social @karencampe.bsky.social @benjamindickman.bsky.social & More #MathChat #MTBoS #iTeachMath

Isn’t it amazing?

Fractals are up in the #mathcorner! Spam me with your favorite fractals activities!! #iteachmath

I saw this thanks to @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social! It's brilliant!

As an undergrad I worked briefly with Bela Julesz, absolute icon, and when I look at these random dot stereograms my eyes fall instantly back into it like I never stopped.

In #mathstoday we had a blast exploring @mathforlove.bsky.social's number palindrome task which can be found here mathforlove.com/lesson/numbe.... This is probably my favorite non-curricular task along with Tax Collector. #mtbos #iteachmath

My grade 10s have been working with quadratic expressions and this card sort activity was good for helping them see the connections between key points and different forms of equations. themathguy.blogspot.com/2024/11/quad...

Visited school today a high MLL (multilingual learner) population. Pairing oral instructions with visual supports as well as shape recognition in one’s first language are two strategies educators can use to support learners with accessing content and curriculum. #iteachmath #mathsky #edusky

♾️ Spending my day talking with @mrkitmath.bsky.social about the complications of subtraction and division compared to addition and multiplication. We know division can be classified as partitive or quotative. Does subtraction have similarly clear words to denote distance vs removal?

Note to self (and everyone on #EduSky) If you go to Settings Accessibility Require alt text That has to be done on mobile separately from web. Do it on BOTH.

Yay!!! This is exciting:)

Love the using the Rekenrek as one tool to develop number sense. What's one of your favourite math manipulatives? #iteachmath #EduSky @anneliserecord.bsky.social @alicekeeler.com @aliciaburdess.bsky.social @triangleman.bsky.social @mathematize4all.bsky.social

The #OAME webinar w/ @mathematize4all.bsky.social was 👌🏽. While many want simple answers for serving disabled students in math, Rachel reminds us that disability is complicated. But, listening to students will help us design more open math classes that work to include everyone #iTeachMath #EduSky

#MathsToday (from Thursday) Introduced Sum of Squares (sometimes known as Pythagorean theorem) with this activity. I showed a list of triangle side lengths which they drew on 1 cm grid paper and determined whether each made a right angles triangle. As a class we determined 👍 or 👎.

Good Things Come To Those Who Use Slow Reveal Graphs! 📊 We just added three brand-new SRGs. Check them out at sembl.app @jennalaib.bsky.social #MTBoS #ITeachMath

Just making sure my Sembl Baby is out there on the bright blue sky! #iteachmath #mathsky

Kindergarten #MathPlay 🧮 with Maddie👨‍👧 - We created our own concept circles ⭕️🔢 #ITeachMath #MTBoS #STEM #ElemMathChat #MathIsFun #EduSky #MathChat

“A HEAP of POPCORN” is my new favorite #unitchat. Are we supposed to use the ruler to measure fractional HEAPths? ❤️ you 🇨🇦

Happening now. Super excited to learn from Maegan and Peter. #iteachmath #mathsky #mtbos
