For those of you who are interested, here are the results of each back to front maths project from 2024. I’m not on X anymore. Thanks to all the schools involved - you have rocked it! More in the comments. #iteachmath
@gregashman.bsky.social thought you might be interested, it’s ok if not though.

8^3 in the wild :)
I like that in WA these squares are 8x8 but in other places in Australia they are usually 6x6. What do they look like where you are?

Actually you can from this. The bottom square can’t be 105 because to add to 23 twice you need the 15 and 5 to be in different sets.

Make ten is a really fun, cooperative card game. It is played like go-fish, but open handed. You ask for a card from someone else that would add or subtract with one or more of your own cards to make ten. Awesome for different abilities.

What if we thought of misconceptions a bit like conspiracy theories?
Here’s my new article on what that means, why kids forget, and what to do about it. #iteachmath

What’s the perimeter?
I wrote this for year 8s after teaching Pythagoras. I sketched the kite, then added the line across the middle and said “that’s 12 long”. I drew a circle with 15 in the top triangle and said, “this area is 15”, and repeated with 48 for the bottom. They had a ball! #iteachmath
