@AlgTeacherTrish I’ve had a hard time using this kind of task to garner interest while helping Ss understand the difference between intellectual skepticism and blatant suspicion. At the end of the course Ss will often write something like “I’ve learned that one can make stats can say anything.”👎

@MOMATYC I love this and #PrimeClimb (the game @MathforLove co-created featuring the number graphic). It was a favorite among many math camp students I worked with several summers in a row!

@simplyaquiche I’ve been there...except for the getting better at guitar part.

Have a great summer everyone: learn a lot of wonderfully new things!

Happy #AprilFoolsDay! Bring a little levity into your day & try to see if you can figure out where the #proof goes wrong! It highlights a classic #fallacy in mathematical thinking. We will reveal the correct answer tomorrow afternoon! (Credit: Skulls in the Stars)

Calling all stats teachers...What a great article describing the process of research, a nuanced treatment of correlation, and some links for Ss to challenge their statistical understanding: ‘A Better Measure of Health Than Body Weight’ - The Atlantic https://t.co/s9c1J41Cmx

@AlgTeacherTrish What do I hope will be on the exam?and: What do I hope won’t be on it?

He’s right: community college is a great place to (re)launch a career and a life. Exclusivity matters to some, but it’s not our mission. Even if it matters to you, you’ll be as well prepared for the Ivy League as anyone... #EndCCStigma https://t.co/SaiqAg2IO2

Did you go to a community college? Quote tweet this and say which community college you attended and what you're doing today. I'll retweet as many as I can. People who attend community colleges deserve to be as proud as people who attend Harvard.
