Benford's law is a fascinating subject. I think it would be a fun and relevant topic to discuss in the classroom.
Radiolab did a great podcast about how we can accurately use it to analyze various data sets

I wonder what ways we can re-imagine homework to support equity while also enabling students to practice and refine their mathematical thinking outside of the classroom.
If our curriculum doesn't change, how can we adapt our current curriculum and lessons to our evolving world?
"Mr. Wolfram thinks that without a total curriculum makeover, math as it is currently taught runs the risk of becoming as obscure as Latin."
“What we don’t need is to make them memorize the times tables.” Reformers are pushing to change what gets taught in math class. https://t.co/G1rcq3UUml via @WSJ
I wonder if we can use a similar framework to explore cross content projects, perhaps on a smaller scale than "A Song of Ice and Fire".
"This marriage of science and humanities opens avenues to comparative literary studies."

I was looking for a better way of explaining the concept of natural logs and e. I found this article that was helpful.

We are discussing domain and range and I found this @geogebra activity.
I appreciate how students can manipulate the sliders and define domain and range is a way that makes sense to them.

@mrgesmith@iteachmathAll I think mathematical proofs are a foundational tool to build students skills in logical reasoning, and problem solving.
With that in mind, what helped me make sense of proofs was to start with simple logical reasoning to solve: 4 every integer x, if x is even, then x^2 is even.
