I love the cheerful and always clear approaches that @howiehua.bsky.social shares. I'm going to show his www.youtube.com/watch?v=KAYg... to my algebra students in learning about harmonic mean. Lesson: understand the concept and the "why", then application will be clear. #mtbos #iteachmath #mathisfun
Is this a new way of finding the harmonic mean???

Math isn’t just numbers—it’s the language of patterns, shapes, and the universe itself. 🧮✨
Even the smallest equation can reveal something beautiful.

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

This is what passes for fun in my house. 7yo repeatedly testing which side of the 🎲 will reach 100 the fastest. The 16yo's idea, not mine! 😂

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

I'll have to miss this as I'm teaching but it sounds like an excellent #mathisfun talk! #mtbos #iteachmath @nctm.org
TONIGHT! Join us for a Teacher Talk as we dive into “The Story of the Trojan Octagon”— a creative, geometry-rich lesson inspired by Flatland: The Movie!

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

MK has practice questions at mathkangaroo.org/mks/practice... and books that can be purchased hardcopy or to download at mathkangaroo.org/mks/practice... . I usually teach a class for younger students over 10 weeks starting in January. #mtbos #iteachmath #mathisfun #mathCompetition #mathKangaroo

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

We had some #halloween visitors in my level 4 class today! #mtbos #iteachmath #mathisfun

In our next article, we look at the key concepts of the current UK early mathematics curriculum to see if learning about numbers today is really as scary as you remember… tym.st/2Luk

This Halloween, turn learning into a treat with 3 math activities for students:

🟠 Bat Fact Families
🟠 Boo-tiful Tangrams
🟠 8 Bats Puzzle

No tricks, just fun ways to help your kids enjoy math! Check out all the details here: bit.ly/3WXsZY5

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

I get such enthusiastic and smart students! After the level 2 (mainly 2nd graders) test at @trianglemath.bsky.social their homework is to share some feedback and describe some fun math they do. What sweet comments are coming in! #mtbos #iteachmath #mathisfun

It’s often easier, faster, and less error-prone to do #mathisfun mental math especially with interesting models than to use some ‘standard algorithms’. At the very least it gives nice ways to check one’s work. #mtbos #iteachmath #subtraction
Check out our new handout on ‘Fun with Subtraction’ especially for 2nd graders (and 1st and 3rd and beyond) at mathinst.com/subtraction - and find others at trianglemathinstitute.com/math . #mtbos

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

I'm excited about a new handout I just finished, "Fun with Subtraction" (1st 4 pages here), that I'll be sharing w/ 1st-3rd graders at #mathCircle this weekend at UNC Chapel Hill. #mtbos #iteachmath #mathisfun

I love sharing w/students #mathisfun techniques for easily subtracting & am integrating several ways for students to try on a unit I'm calling "Fun with Subtraction" this weekend at Chapel Hill Math Circle for 1st-3rd graders. I hope to finalize the handout tomorrow. #mtbos #iteachmath #mathCircle
