Students were out of their seats collecting data for a related rates lab today! They compared experimental data to theoretical solutions for the classic sliding ladder, the inflating balloon, and more. A fun day of "math in motion." #ITeachMath #Calculus pbbmath.weebly.com/blog/hands-o...
Does understanding the Math Practices seem impossible? I think so and I rewrote them in an attempt to make them readable. In this blog post I share my revised version of MP 4 as well as a link to download all 8 MPs in English or Spanish as a printable PDF. robertkaplinsky.com/making-...
Algebra teachers, check out these three rational exponent problems from Bryan Anderson. See the hints and answers on Open Middle:

A deltahedron I made at #100factorial today with the polydron triangles. It’s a size-three octahedron with three size-one tetrahedra on each face. The whole shape has 120 faces, 180 edges and 62 vertices, with exactly 40% of the edges concave. It took me two hours to make, and some extra hands.
Just as an FYI, you're supposed to read the entries in backwards order (so from the starting instagram post to the most recent instagram post)!
Any chance any of you math folks out there want to uplift one of my students? She created an instagram with a fictionalized journal of mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan [ www.instagram.com/lucie.r.vk_e.... Personally her journal floored me!
*I'd love for her to get some followers!!!*
I have a high school student who created a fictitious journal for Ramanujan for a class project, after researching his life. It's so cool, and has entries from a fictitious Ramanujan along with others. If this intrigues you, please follow&share this insta: www.instagram.com/lucie.r.vk_e... #MTBoS
In #mathstoday (well, actually yesterday) my Year 12s tackled another great Underground Maths problem. This one worked really well & stimulated loads of discussion, helping cement their understanding of logs. Definitely recommend 👍🏼 undergroundmathematics.org/exp-and-log/...
