I've been asked to lead a pd on Desmos Classroom for my fellow middle school math teachers. I'd love to hear what everyone's favorite Desmos activity is. I think I'm going to need a good "wow" factor to get them to buy into the idea! #mtbos@Desmos
@rexfactorpod @MuseumAthelstan I should have tried Twitter so much earlier! I spent all day looking for the perfect book when one tweet was all it took. To Be a Queen by @AnnieWHistory as well as The Forever Queen by @HelenHollick are now on my Kindle shelf and I am beach ready!
@rexfactorpod You have me desperately craving a historical fiction set in Aethelstan - Ethelred the Unready era England. Preferably with a female protagonist. Any suggestions?
@brianbuffington Oh for sure! All my best ideas start with math teacher Twitter. And that particular tag should definitely get a mention next time you are in a room of math teachers!
ANNOUNCEMENT: Tonight around midnight Eastern time, we will be replacing our homepage / login screen with a more professional look. Google Sign-on will now be available, but otherwise the internals of the site will not be changing at all. Just wanted to give you all a heads up!
I really like this open-middle style factoring puzzle from Public Schools of North Carolina's Resources for Algebra Blackline Masters. I recreated it in both Google Slides and Jamboard.

I am loving this. The last factorial is 170!
“Did you know? The number 170 is the highest possible number you can calculate a factorial for? Any higher than 170, and the mathematical answer is infinity.” - https://t.co/Q5jfC8Li8j
If students aren't in school, then teachers should be able to teach from home. 42% of people work from home, yet teachers are expected to go to an empty school to teach? School districts, trust your professionals!
