Hearing from @pgliljedahl at @CAMT_online speak about Building Thinking Classrooms: “Students’ math understanding is like Swiss cheese. They have holes in their learning. But what happens when you put multiple pieces of cheese & students work together? The holes fill in.” #CAMT23 – at Fort Worth, TX

Ever since I realized there’s a difference btwn real math-ing versus mimicking, I've been doing 2 things:
Studying mathy people to see how they think
Deciding which ways we need for higher math
And I wrote this thing:

It's time to kick off #MathPhoto23! During week 1, look for #nine to mark the ninth year of the math photo challenge. Where do you see nine as a shape, quantity or numeral? Take photos and post to Twitter using the hashtags #MathPhoto23 and #nine. #MTBoS #ITeachMath
ALT Math Photo 23 week 1 starts with nine. Three images showing nine: the number 9 on a crosswalk signal, a tic-tac-toe game at a park and 9 o'clock on an analog clock.

Hey Texas #Algebra friends! With the help of the @Desmos CL community, I made a self checking graphing quadratics activity similar to the new item type on STAAR. Feedback is welcome!!! @mathycathy @mrsharrislhsk teacher.desmos.com/activityb…

"Too often, we have drastically different expectations for what a particular student can learn based upon the label, and this leads to dramatically different #mathematical experiences."

I am often asked how I use math to create art. Here is an example for my design work with @thediarrablu. Currently exploring polar graphs 🎉. Tag a friend who will find this interesting 🤩💃🏿 #diarrablu #mathart #diarrablumath #mtbos #iteachmath #polargraph #design @Desmos

I wish I had @MathigonOrg when I started teaching > 20 years ago. It would have helped Ss A LOT when working with inequalities. #MTBoS #ITeachMath

Big news! You can now import a saved Polypad from your Mathigon account into Activity Builder in @desmosclassroom.
Just copy the URL of the saved Polypad, click on the blank Polypad fullscreen component inside AB, and use CMD-V or CTRL-V to paste the URL. It's that easy! 📣🎉📣

This @desmosclassroom collection has a Polypad of the Puzzle A Day for every day of the year, separated by month. Maybe assign one at the start of each month and see how many days students can solve?

My 1st community-building activity: Student autobiographies on Google Slides. Each student takes a slide and share a little about themselves. They also comment on at least 2 other slides to start conversations. Here's a template: docs.google.com/presentation…
ALT A picture of me on the left. Description on the right: Hi everyone! My name is Howie and I am your instructor for Math 100. I love math and I love teaching, and I hope that is evident throughout this course! Wherever you are in your mathematical journey, I will do my best to help you gain more confidence in this subject. Outside of school, I love playing the piano, watching gymnastics, and feeding cats on our campus. My favorite TV show is Parks and Recreation. I also love making math memes and math explainer videos on TikTok.

We are excited to announce that you can now scale polygons! Enter any scale factor from 0.1 to 10. We can't wait to see how you use this new feature! In this video, can you use the first shape to create all the others? Learn more about this question at mathigon.org/task/tetromino-…
