@meninblazers.bsky.social has anyone heard from Rog? Will we see him in some highlights streaking on the pitch at Goodison?

#iTeachMath #MathSky results from my classes’ Super Bowl Prop Bets activity. They would have lost almost $700 if we would have bet their picks. Glad I’m to cheap to bet.

#EduSky #iTeachMath Students pushed back today on changing mixed numbers to fractions before dividing them. I finally showed them the first 3 steps to dividing while leaving them as mixed numbers. All but 1 student caved after seeing this.

Just updated my Super Bowl Prop Bets activity for this year. If you use it let me know how your class does. #iTeachMath #MathSky teacher.desmos.com/activitybuil...

Totally agree with Kathy. Being a Desmos Fellow is the best thing that has happened in my career. Take the chance and apply.

Today was the first day of my Math Lab kids making beadwork earrings. We did a lesson on Rigid transformations in Native American beadwork and the history of beadwork before this. Here are some pictures. #iteachmath #mtbos

I was doing a Desmos Classroom lesson today on proportional relationships. I asked “If you buy 4 lbs. of chicken tenders how much does it cost?” Most of the class says “$0”. One kid says “$5”. I then went into how when you order and there is a shipping fee that is not proportional. 1/2

Yesterday I was doing the Paint activity from Amplify Desmos Math 7th grade. Had a student come up with a really neat challenge. I solved it using some number flexibility. How would you solve this? #iTeachMath

Super excited. Next week I’m teaching my Native American Beadwork and Geometry activity. The week after two teachers from our Indigenous Education Department are coming in to do a small breading project with them. Pictures will be posted. #iTeachMath

I made a Desmos Classroom version of @robertkaplinsky.bsky.social Royal Flush activity. Any suggestions for improvements would be appreciated. teacher.desmos.com/activitybuil...

I used @fawnnguyen.bsky.social visual patterns to make an activity to teach graphing. I think I have too much on screen 5. Any suggestions to fix It? #iTeachMath teacher.desmos.com/activitybuil...

I’ve been working on this for a math class. I posted this in a couple of places asking for feedback. Would love any suggestions from this group. #iTeachMath #mtbos teacher.desmos.com/activitybuil...
