I teach math and plant-based cooking & nutrition.
I teach my students to be guided by the speed limit sign - here, speed limit = 65 mph which means that speed = miles / hours = distance / time. Want, for example, time? Just rearrange: S = D / T so ST = D and T = D / S. Check by plugging in units - T = miles / (miles/hour) = 1/(1/hour) = hours .

We had a lot of #mathisfun in our 1st-3rd grade #mathCircle looking at angles & seeing angles of a triangle add to 180deg. We discussed why we use 360 instead of a power of 10 to measure angles and talked a bit about #historyOfMath and zero. One student made their own protractor! #mtbos #iteachmath

I'm looking forward to today's #mathCircle at UNC (ironically later is a football game UNC vs Stanford and I teach for both math circles!) where 1st-3rd graders will explore angles and using a protractor - we'll have an angle lesson for Stanford classes this week too. #mtbos #iteachmath #mathisfun

One of my 1st graders at Stanford #mathCircle used a clever representation of n-gons to denote modulo n numbers. He then used the same reprs. to answer questions like what day of week it is 706 days from now. I'm proud and delighted about his intuitive and powerful representation! #mtbos #iteachmath

I love the nice comment a 1st grader's parent just sent! I love giving esp. my #mathCircle students challenging #mathisfun concepts to probe. Then as I was writing this a 2nd again unsolicited comment from another 1st grade parent came in! There's so much to do w addition! #mtbos #iteachmath

Here are two explorations: mathpractices.edc.org/pdf/Consecut... (great pedagogy & theory), & www.inquirymaths.com/home/number-... (inquiry prompts like my challenge Qs). I enjoy having Ss look at integer partitions & should come up w/some challenge questions/maybe make a handout for step numbers.

I love working with figurate numbers (see my Square Numbers handout mathinst.com/squareNumbers) esp. Triangle Numbers w/my students but never thought of @mathforlove.bsky.social's 'Step Numbers' (mathforlove.com/wp-content/u...) which now seems obvious to consider! #mathisfun #mtbos #iteachmath

I'm going to try my new #mathisfun #halloween problems w/ level 5 (though they may only get the 1st one unless they already know the Pyth.Theorem) & algebra students (will they remember Euclid's formula for Pyth.Triples from prealg?), and a time change problem with level 2 Ss. #mtbos #iteachmath

In level 4 we started w/a #mathisfun challenge question re: finding when pg 100 is read if i pgs are read on day i inspired by an article in #NCTM's Oct2024 Mathematics Teacher; in prealg we tried #mathKangaroo problem re: finding next number w/symbols. Students solved them both! #mtbos #iteachmath

Sometimes when we wait till high school/college/later to learn a math concept, it seems needlessly complex. I love how this 1st grader nicely showed why nCk = nC(n-k) -- e.g., 5 choose 3 = 5 choose 2, via mirror. And she made an artful #pascalsTriangle for #halloween! #mtbos #iteachmath #mathisfun

Hopefully this 2025 9th/10th grade Math Kangaroo question (mathkangaroo.org/mks/wp-conte...) is straightforward for my students; I'll try it with algebra students before their 1st quarter test. Shouldn't it be a 5th/6th grade question? #mtbos #iteachmath #mathisfun #divisibilityRules #numberTheory
