@mrsvibbermath.bsky.social Great Talk! Loved it and will share with some colleagues.

Dude, party for Heat Pump Water Heater Day is going to be off_the_hook today.

Oh no. They've hidden the insert equation in google docs... I could maybe forgive them if there was a keyboard shortcut.... (yikes, found it for windows: alt-i then y then e)

Nerdiest plate I’ve seen in a long while. Love it.

More “stand up” and ponder today. Random pairs cluesbysam.com
Wonderful logic game. Class is buzzing with logic chat. #photo180 (ish)

Stand up and Ponder (routine?). I make the AP CS Principles kids get up and talk through random puzzlers together. Making the kids talk really helps their future williness to ask their peers for help. Today was just someone next to them, in the future the groups will be randomly selected. #photo180

Had my nerdy kid in block one try a problem. Weird!

Are you stuck on a windows computer like me? One pro-tip would be to enable the accessibility shortcut where you can make the mouse cursor ripple so that when you're talking to a class they can see where you're looking. (the next post will have the windows instructions) #photo180

Whoa! This will be true soon for me too. Found my first graphs: www.desmos.com/calculator/u...

I have a strong opinion that the vast majority of Desmos (like) computer activities should be done with 2 or 3 people per one computer. You can’t hear it in a photo (duh) but the class is buzzing with math conversation. Day 2. #photo180

Might as well shoot for a #photo180 this year! It's been a while.

Second first day, but now with CS (ish) puzzlers:

My 22nd first day of school (as a teacher)!

Interesting frequency and amplitude differences between these two birds.

Genuinely confused now. Multiple Spring Conferences? Is this the new name for “Regional”?
July 15, 2025 at 8:14 PM
Are they using a different definition of “Spring”??? February?

💯. Especially love the message in the beginning suggesting going “off script” for the 14 practices. Here’s my favorite four of the fourteen:

Last day with precalc. Yearbook signatures, puzzles, math games from Ben Orlin, and fractal tiles portraits of me.

Hey everyone, nbd, but I've been exclusively invited by NCTM. Bet you're jealous.
