Been seeing lots of @Desmos 3D discussion around surfaces of revolution for Calculus. While parametrics are great for showing the act of rotation (see: desmos.com/3d/1a7f86ac77), I'm also loving this strategy, accessible to students who have seen equations of circles before:

I want a HS mathematics curriculum that assumes, even joyfully accepts, that every student will have access to every app on a phone, including Desmos and Photomath, and goes from there. What topics would we drop entirely? What would we add?

Just touching base - we feel the time is right for a press conference.
We have some experience with this sort of thing…

5000 double pendulums, with a tiny (0.000001 rad) variation on starting angles. Color line connects original neighbours, thickness proportional to how close they remain (firs bifurcation starting at 0:12 provides a good understanding of what's going on).

Hey #MathTwitter and #MTBoS, I am excited and nervous to be teaching MS math next year after 6 incredible years teaching MS science. Who should I be following!? What resources do I need on my radar!? I am joining a great team but would love others' advice as well! 😀

1/ Naked molerats are comprehensively amazing and horrible, each fact about them is more amazing/horrible than the last
1. They are the only cold-blooded mammal on earth
2. They cannot feel pain. Literally do not have the receptors for it.

Points-based grading is loaded with problems, among which is a fundamental flaw in how we conceive of points as data. Today at #GradingForGrowth I argue that points are not actually numbers. #grading #highered gradingforgrowth.com/p/when-…
