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.

Looking for a fun little game to keep in your back pocket for those days when you have seven random minutes left at the end of class? Let me introduce you to the Game of Sim (invented by Gustavus J. Simmons) that involves drawing lines and avoiding triangles!

I like this introduction to e from @samjshah , specifically the whole group numerical investigation of e^x vs x^e

New Blog Post: "Birthdays & Being Seen"
What do you do to forge relationships with your students and celebrate during the year?

It took me forever to come up with a first day of school activity this year. I kept looking for ideas, but I was unsatisfied with anything I came up with because I wanted to do something "new."

I finally ended up putting together a series of number contests for my students to compete in at vertical whiteboards. These turned out to be so much fun. One student told her friends that she hadn't laughed this much since science class last year which I am absolutely taking as a compliment.

Hello math teacher friends! Here is a post from last year of some of my "Lessons Learned" ... hope you find something useful as you begin your school year!

To start off my school year, I talk with students about my important messages for success. [My setting is mostly 1-on-1, but I think these ideas work well for full classrooms also]

1. Bring your "A" game to math
2. Use what you know (when faced w/new problems)
3. Find more than one way to solve (for deeper learning)
4. Show your mathematical thinking (rebrand of "show your work")
5. Know your resources for help
6. Persevere even when it gets hard

I wrote about all this in a past blog post "Setting the Stage" https://karendcampe.wordpress.com/2016/09/23/setting-the-stage/

@johncarlosbaez The #MTBoS people should see this.

Also #ITeachMath, #MathEd and #MathsEd

This could be an interesting discussion:

Charting this ... I think it's really interesting:

Here's an interesting question for the teachers here.

Read about visual units, unit rates, unit conversion, & unit fractions;
& why these are useful in math class!

From the site formerly known as TBBBS:

"What are people's favourite ways of exploring Mathematical proof at A-level? Looking for some purposeful ways to start Year 12 off from September. Would love to hear your ideas "

Let me know and I'll pass on your suggestions.

(For our USA-based readers, Year 12 is the penultimate year of secondary school, so I guess it's roughly K12 ... feel free to correct me!)

Hi Alex, very thorough notes, thanks for sharing!
I love the simplicity of @DavidKButler 's Operations Tower, explained here
https://blogs.adelaide.edu.au/maths-learning/2019/09/23/the-operation-tower/

My HS Ss "got it" immediately, especially the idea of which operations distribute over others: an operation can distribute over those that are ONE level down, not two.
So 3•(10 + 4) distributes to 3•10 + 3•4
But (10 + 4)^2 doesn't become 10^2 + 4^2

And I like the clarity of having brackets, parentheses & fraction bar as grouping symbols on the left, that supersede the order in the tower by "prioritizing" what is grouped.

Hi Mark!!
Search for #ClassroomMath to see the various discussions. And Sam & Julie have been setting prompts, Sam can you post the link again to the whole list?

Tip: you can follow a hashtag here on mastodon. Put it in the search box, when it comes up click on it and then click on the follow icon. #MTBoS is here too, rebranded as "math TEACHER blog-o-sphere"
Also #MathEd and #MathsEd

@Stacidombrowski Welcome !!

To start getting connected you need to search for hashtags. If you're into #MathEd or #MathsEd the you also want to search for #ITeachMath and #MTBoS ...

Good luck!
