I thought I'd share this. Julia is well-known in the education community, to which she has contributed enormously.

If you are able, consider contributing, no matter how little. Everything helps.

I remember doing all sorts of crafts with glue & paper learning fractions but never did we try dividing the paper to infinity— I think this should be something everyone tries. I’d do this with calculus students learning series! The idea of an infinite sum having finite value is just more— believable after you really do it. And I’m trying to get these 6th graders to like fractions. So they just can’t be BORING— #mathEducation #mathematics #series #geometricSeries #binaryNumbers #artsAndCrafts

@samjshah Fabulous!

Once they've joined it would be useful to have a consistent hashtag. Some that have been used already include:

#MathChat #MathsChat #MTBoS #MathEducation #MathEd #education #teachers

It will be great to get the math teaching community here and get some cross-fertilisation.

The formal reasoning style associated with mathematics teaches ... that decontextualization and abstraction are the only valid routes to truth, that the only correct way to understand anything is by analyzing relationships between abstract concepts, because this is how mathematics is taught...

For instance, the meaning of the slogan “Black lives matter” relies on its place in a deep and broad historical context involving chattel slavery, police violence, capitalism, racism, prisons, and on and on and on. Part of the context is the understanding that society already acts as if white lives matter without anyone having to say it out loud. Lacking that context, or mapped to a different context, the phrase means something very different. And once decontextualized it becomes conceptually equivalent rather than intentionally and implicitly contrasted to statements like “all lives matter” or “white lives matter.” Even wildly skewed transformations like “blue lives matter” move from absurdity to debatability, which is a win for capital’s stability.

Victims of American mathematics education may be powerfully tempted to refute such nonsense on its own terms, i.e. abstractly rather than by screaming out the concrete truth that’s obvious to anyone who shares the context.

In the United States children are required to study mathematics for most of the time they’re required to attend school and yet essentially everyone hates it. Not just students, but parents and teachers as well. Very few remember any of it once they’re done with school, which strongly suggests that all those years of mandatory mathematics education aren’t serving the students themselves. If they were it wouldn’t be necessary to criminalize nonattendance, to force children into schools to learn mathematics at the point of a policeman’s gun.

I wrote a thing on mandatory mathematics education and its value to capitalism.

For anyone wondering if ChatGPT could be made better at doing math and not hallucinating the answers and trying to convince you their false answers are true, this problem has been partly solved now, as Wolfram Alpha can now be integrated into ChatGPT.

So now, anyone who has ever wanted to have a personal math tutor computer that can understand more advanced concepts in math and explain them to you, it looks like that has been invented now:

I see this as a positive development in LLM technology -- a fairly obvious development, it was only a matter of time before they figured out how to merge these two services together. But anyway, solving the hallucination problem by introducing classical symbolic computation into LLMs like ChatGPT was exactly what we needed to make this technology more useful.

Math teachers used to require expensive graphing calculators because they had advanced capabilities. Now we require expensive graphing calculators because they can't run photomath. The calculators are still expensive, though, for no reason at all.

Michael Penn is a wonderful mathematics educator I absolutely love his proof writing playlist. Reminds me of the days when I took theory of proof #mathematics #matheducation #wondersofmath https://youtu.be/KlvmtjJv4oM

I was intrigued by a question https://lnkd.in/dz7FcEXg, which looked quite complex at first sight, at least to most of the young and novice Maths learners. Although, it isn't tough, students should attack it with the right approach, to find the solution. #students #maths #mathstricks #mathsisfun #mathclass #mathisfun #mathslover #mathskills #mathstudents #mathstutor #mathproblems #matheducation #mathematics #mathslover #mathtricks #math #learning #quizoftheday #solutions #skilldevelopment

Join a fun community of math-lovers this summer! BEAM is hiring Counselors/TAs and Faculty to help us build a community of learners where students with high potential are centered as doers of math.
Roles available in LA/SoCal and NYC/Hudson Valley.

Our students are highly engaged in the immersive academic experience BEAM provides. .
