Will you join the #Septemberstem #photoaday challenge? Here is some inspiration from the September 1st prompt - SPRING. I wonder why flowers are so colourful? Do you know? @CatholicEdParra #mathematics #science #stem
A fantastic look at the Geometry of the Sydney Opera House - great for helping students to notice maths.
🎇 Today, the final episode of my series "Maths of the @SydOperaHouse" drops. This was a massive collaborative effort & I'm so proud to have been part of it!

yes! Heterogeneous grouping is the best for all learners, that is clearly shown by research.
Great related article featuring @joboaler about the oppression of low expectations and need for reforms in math education: edutopia.org/article/it-time…
Fantastic story to share with our students.
Sir Roger Penrose: The man who proved black holes weren't 'impossible - reflects on being slow in maths & not being good at maths tests- fortunately a teacher told him that did not matter. Thanks @stevenstrogatz! bbc.com/news/science-environ…
Great ideas for books about mathematicians - helps make maths come alive. kqed.org/mindshift/54983/10-…

Good advice for teachers on returning to school. @NumeracyNow @CatholicEdParra
What are some of the #mathsed considerations for primary teachers returning to f2f learning? Here's one perspective Peter Sullivan (& co) have penned to support our EMC3 project teachers. Others may find it useful too. @attard_c @helenjwc @kath_cartwright

Thanks for making this available. A great resource.
Work with kids & families who need more tools for numeracy, and can't afford them? I've just put together a printer-friendly #TinyPolkaDot starter deck you can print and give away. Get it for free, plus links to instructions in Spanish, French, Mandarin mathforlove.com/2020/05/free…

If the white = 1 1/2, what is the big square? If the total area is 16, what is area of the white? via @FractionTalks w/ inspiration from @joboaler #MindsetMath Mondrian task. #mathwalk #takemathoutside #unitchat
A great example of a task that has more than one answer and the importance of justifying mathematical thinking. Follow the thread to see all the great thinking.
We played a round of the @mburnsmath's game Seven Up before diving into this Which One Doesn't Belong? I created. I wanted to prime the pump because she hasn't made a habit of looking for combinations that make 10. Here's a thread of our conversation. #tmwyk #ElemMathChat
Love this.
If the cross = 1, how much is the big square? How do you know? If the big square = 1, what fraction is the cross? #mathwalk #takemathoutside #unitchat #thankyoufirstresponders @FractionTalks
Great maths game.
Sharing a new maths game every day. Day 23's is Combo Dominoes, which is a really fantastic way to develop number sense. Enjoy!
