Who has meaningful two-way tables they've used with high schoolers to do probability? I'm wanting to show my students real data that tells them about the world. Data about sleep, video games, politics, culture, jobs?

This looks like a wonderful opportunity for high school math students interested in working with real-world data!
Math engagement is incredible while the traditional math competition is not so… I’m onto applied math competitions at this point.
Very few exist, so I decided to make my own.

I know a lot of people who use Duolingo.
Teachers work their asses off to educate, foster creativity and independence and support your children as the individuals they are.
I urge you to reconsider and let your money/data point do the talking.

I appreciate the breakdown about Chat-GPT/AI in an accessible way, and through an issue that young people care about.
I struggle with the reporting on ChatGPT in education because it often confirms society’s negative bias against young people—oh no, this generation is unsaveable!—when it’s possible to just educate people to be less credulous about it. which is why I wrote this: so teachers could print and assign it
ChatGPT Is Everywhere — Why Aren't We Talking About Its Environmental Costs?
One estimate found that a single ChatGPT search uses 10 times the energy of a normal Google search.

We studied parabolas earlier this semester in 10th grade math. I visited the Very Large Array this weekend and showed this picture to my classes from space.com. Was very stoked that one kid saw it and said “Parabolic!” (Second pic is mine from one of the displays.)

Besides the IM curriculum for A1/G/A2, what are other good problem-based math curriculum for HS? Ones that follow the experience first, formalize later model. I also know of Math/Stats/Calc Medic.
What else is out there?

Have any other public K-12 teachers in the US been dealing with district Internet outages this year? Today is the third time this school year my school has NO internet. I can’t even make hand written worksheets for the kids cuz we can’t log into the printers to make copies. 😭

Our school is having an issue with our small group of Rohingya-speaking students because we have no way to communicate with their parents. Rohingya is mostly a spoken language so we can't use google translate and the district has no interpreters who speak Rohingya. Anyone else dealing with this?
