#RealWorldMath πŸ’Ž

πŸ’‘ Could we get some thoughts from the #ITeachMath and #MathSky community on this: What challenges or uncertainties do you have (or think others might have) around questions that don't have just one right answer....like when students #DebateMath or share opinions?

One of the quirks of baseball ⚾️ is that no two MLB ballparks are alike, which means a homer in one city might not have been in another! πŸ’¬ What do *you* think: Is this part of the charm or maddeningly unfair? www.citizenmath.com/lessons/out-... #MathSky #ITeachMath #RealWorldMath 🌍 #Quadratics

Did the math. Can confirm. 450 ft homer ⚾️ is....far. 🀩 #RealWorldMath

Should we nix the penny? πŸ’° #EduSky 🍎: Will you comment ideas and resources to explore this question as a class -- or on your own! -- so we can create one BIG thread 🧡 on this #RealWorldMath? 🌍 We'll go first. You add on and repost...πŸ‘‡ #MathSky #ITeachMath #PBL www.citizenmath.com/lessons/comm...

πŸ—žοΈShould US nix the penny? Discuss this #RealWorldMath 🌍 in math class with these two 🎁s: (1) NYT gift article access (2) Check this Citizen Math lesson Common Cents is public through Feb. www.citizenmath.com/lessons/comm... Please share. 🩡 www.nytimes.com/2025/02/09/u... #MathSky #ITeachMath

Did you know it costs more than 3 cents to produce a penny? The term β€œseigniorage” refers to the difference between how much a coin is worth and how much it costs the US Mint to produce Who's up for a round of #DebateMath re this #RealWorldMath 🌍 from the US Mint?πŸ‘‡ #MathSky #ITeachMath

HonAlg Ss tackle unit6&7 performance task: where Ss analyze whether college β€œpays off”. SsπŸ‘€how salaries of job, amt of scholarships, & loans impact the❓. @UrbanJason adds his expertise about options the high school offers that can lower the financial impact #makeitreal

Love this glimpse into a day of #RealWorldMath in the #MathSky. 🩡

We invited @mrsstrole.bsky.social to lead a call on this #RealWorldMath 🌍 lesson this Sunday! πŸ‘‡ All are welcome, always. community.citizenmath.com/events/is-hi...

Is there an upside to negative emotions? On a scale of -5 to 5, where everyday gets a general "how good was it" score, what would your ideal week look like? ⭐️ AND - Join us tonight via zoom tonight to talk thru using this lesson in your own class. Link below πŸ‘‡ All are welcome! #RealWorldMath

What do folks think: Should we nix the penny?? What should people do with all their old pennies if we do? Discuss, please. 🩡 🍿 #RealWorldMath 🌎 #MathSky #EduSky #ITeachMath

#RealWorldMath πŸ’Ž πŸ‘‡ 🌍 Plus a community member drop in? πŸŽ‰ ❀️ #MathSky #ITeachMath

Does it seem like the world keeps changing faster than it used to? It's not your imagination. It's #math. Do you ever wonder what future innovations we can't even yet imagine?! 🀯 What do *you* think is next for communication...is anyone working on digital smells? #RealWorldMath #MathSky

Do social media platforms makes us more or less connected? Tonight @ 9ET, HS teacher Kelsey S. from NYC is sharing how her students use quadratic functions to explore this question through the Citizen Math lesson Connected. community.citizenmath.com/posts/77864050

Have you been wanting to use Citizen Math lessons but aren't quite sure how to make them fit in with the Illustrative Math curriculum? Join the conversation to share ideas, challenges, and other tidbits from your own classroom! loom.ly/gd59-JU

Do you use IM and want to infuse more real-world 🌍 discussion? Share questions/challenges, and we'll pass them along to Kate M. and Jeffrey P who are leading a call on how they use Citizen Math alongside IM as the core curric. #MathSky #RealWorldMath community.citizenmath.com/events/illus...

What are the consequences of personalization algorithms? #RealWorldMath 🌎 ♾️ We'd love to hear what you (and your students) have to say on the matter. πŸ’­ This new lesson (it's been a while, huh?!) is in our free/public collection this spring. www.citizenmath.com/lessons/algo...

How can I guide students through solving complex problems? Join us Wednesday, January 15 at 8pm ET Every month or so, we host a #TinyWorkshop 😊 in the CM Community. loom.ly/qTtL7qE

Are hybrid vehicles worth the cost? @mrsstrole.bsky.social gives a preview of the real-world 🌍 math lesson she'll be digging into more this Sunday. Check it out! community.citizenmath.com/posts/are-hy... #ITeachMath #RealWorldMath #MathSky

Still teach #statistics w/these tables? If so, teach your students what they mean, not just how to use them. Otherwise, the lesson is quickly lost and they end up remembering statistics as just β€œthat subject with many tables.” #edusky #statsky #phdchat #academicChatter #iteachmath #academicsky

Feel like this graph accurately describes my experience grading exams, and I need to make sure my students know. #MTBoS #iTeachMath #EduSky

Oh, we love a cozy workspace! Join Alison's call this Sunday for some #RealWorldMath community.citizenmath.com/events/are-h...

πŸ’Ž Yo! Check out this real-world 🌍 math project from @averypickford.bsky.social. Cool for hs students. BUT ALSO, how interesting are the results. πŸ‘‡ When a project yields findings that twirl around in your brain long after -- and you weren't even the one to do the project! -- you know it's legit.
