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:

This is actually how "confidence intervals" work in statistics. I'm being 100% serious. Read on. This is a really fun concept. teapawt.net/HumansNoContext/status…

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?

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-…

From now on, we're not "taking derivatives", we're "disintegrating".

Can I get an Open Letter of Mathematicians stating we should stop trying to rush through math in K-12????
