Great find Annie!

Saw this on FB and thought it would make a good math warm-up or Math Talk

What would you pick? 🍫🔥

Did you know MN's own Ben Orlin made 'Math With Bad Drawing' styled images for the 8 Mathematical Practices (thanks to @mctm_mn )? He also added texts to each. You can find MN versions of his work and how to use them to unpack standards HERE: drive.google.com/drive/u/1/fo... #iteachmath #mathstoday

"Everybody is a Genius. But If You Judge a Fish by Its Ability to Climb a Tree, It Will Live Its Whole Life Believing that It is Stupid". Great quote often attributed Einstein (though he is probably not the architect behind it).

Today is the 10th annual International Day of Women and Girls in Science! Women have been making great contributions to science forever, and imagine how much more they can do if barriers to participation are broken down.

So much wrong in the world, it feels weird to just post about holiday themed math. But, bringing joy to kids that need us can be resistance. ❤️

So, another holiday, another list of activities for math class.
Here’s some ideas for Valentine’s Day

I'm going to start a little thread showcasing some of the minerals (and rocks) that I have self-collected over the last couple years.

Apparently just responding with "idk" over and over can trick an AI tutor into solving a math problem for you... Good to know! @ddmeyer.bsky.social
