Wanna understand what happened in Iowa & why Evangelicals voted even stronger than they did in 2016? And why it’s quite possible we’ll have Trump for a second term? It’s all in Jung. This from The Undiscovered Self, 1957. BTW, this applies equally well on both sides of the aisle.

This quote is such FIRE!

" it was among the hardest lessons I learned as a teacher...how to answer questions with questions that lead the student forward without pushing too hard on that frustration button."

What is it like to ride a bike with square wheels? How do you tesselate dinosaurs and monkeys? How can lights make an object appear to be moving? This and more at The Museum of Math @MoMath1 thanks @cbrownLmath! #joyfulmath #looneymath

March into pattern play!
This March we are exploring patterns and sequences in math.
Dr. Chris Brownell retweeted
New Series beginning March 1st:
Sequence and Pattern Math
There is something very calming about patterns, evenness, especially symmetry, but why?

This vid shows how Egyptians of ancient times divvied bread: Give everyone largest portion of the whole possible, then each largest portion possible of what remains, etc.
eg 7 buns for 12: Do 1/2 + 1/12.
10 buns for 12, do 1/2 + 1/3.
How do 5 buns for 13?

Thank you one and all for a spectacular Global Math Week! Mathematics really does transcend borders and unite communities. It is just stunning. THANK YOU!
And the fun continues. globalmathproject.org/events…

Tomorrow, during the first live zoom lesson on #explodingdots, I'll give away a clue for cracking this mysterious code of black, grey, and white dots. (It's a phrase in English.) Some fun for Global Math Week #gmw2022.

Terrible news.
#DonyaRad, the woman who posted a photo of herself having breakfast with a friend in a cafe in #Iran without hijab has been arrested.
Her family are very worried about her.

Actually, I've just redone all the videos & written up a complete classroom guide. All available (PDF of guide, playlist of videos) here: gdaymath.com/courses/explodi…
Chock full of loads of practice and new ideas, all informed by use in classrooms.
@GlobalMathProj @AIMathCommunity
❤️ this problem! Have you used @jamestanton #explodingdots with your students? youtu.be/1fXyW1vB4vI Mind blowing! B4 changing classes I squeezed as many video clips for my last year’s group! I still have 11 Ss who are excited to learn more. #ThinkingClassroom #contextualized

Found this gem while combing thru stuff for new #HSmathresearch II curriculum.
PLAY is still a big idea in 2nd yr course. Math Recess refers to Children's Village, captures the spirit I want students to have around mathematics.

Something cute:
What number comes next: 2 4 6 8 __?
The sequence is following the formula
2n + k(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)(n-4) for some number k.
What value of k gives the 5th term as 34? As 7.5? As √π? (One can answer "what comes next" problems with anything and justify the choice!)
