It has been a while.... So tomorrow's challenge to my AP-CSP students will be to create a Turtle Race! 🐢🐢

This is my example for them to try and make...#coding #python 🐍 (will try in on @TICalculators next week!)

[Mr. Posnanski @POSitive_MATH]

The best thing about it being 2025 is that it’s a perfect square year (45^2) for 365 days! (The next perfect square year is 2116) #2025 #math

[Mr. Posnanski @POSitive_MATH]

Students this week are using #turtle on @TICalculators #coding in #python and will be creating snowflakes ❄️. This collection of stars while holiday themed got me thinking it looked like 🇺🇸so…..

Learning to code is like learning to cook.

Even if you don't become a professional, knowing the techniques and concepts will help in understanding how the world works.

#CSEdWeek

[Mr. Posnanski @POSitive_MATH]

Using a single function in #Python to create 3D art. Also using loops to create shading in an image. Lots of fun lessons ahead for an intro to #STEM class. #coding using @TICalculators

[Mr. Posnanski @POSitive_MATH]

Intro to #STEAM students using graphics to learn about functions while #coding in #Python on @TICalculators. Tiled the screen with their own tile.

@dailystem @24game I like it! I see 4+5 = 3^2 🤓

Or you can make that a “which one doesn’t belong?”

[Mr. Posnanski @POSitive_MATH]

Let's start the school year with students thinking differently about everyday things. Challenge your S's to take a photo of their house number and see how they can express it in another way! If they live at 16 Maple ave, have them say they live at radical 256 Maple ave!

[Mr. Posnanski @POSitive_MATH]

L❤️VING @hschhaya's posts about the Summer Games! Take a look at these two resources on ideas/activities you can can use with your students to engage them in some real data and get them thinking!

Applying math to sports!! 🥌

[Chris Luzniak @cluzniak]

Watching a Pan American curling match. They’re using a tool that measures which stone is closer to the center by measuring radii

[Mr. Posnanski @POSitive_MATH]

I saw @CmonMattTHINK post this question and I thought it would be a great #coding challenge. First to print a given number of rows of Pascal's triangle. Then to count the number of evens. I posed this challenge to a student and here is his success!!

[Mr. Posnanski @POSitive_MATH]

@Karl0294 @jodstar2000 @TICalculators @hschhaya @NEOsborn Question is was it @BlueMoonBrewCo ? How appropriate would that be?!

[Mr. Posnanski @POSitive_MATH]

@hschhaya @TICalculators Temperature data was collected with a Grove sensor. Might have to convert the data to Fahrenheit to make it look a bit more dramatic!

[Mr. Posnanski @POSitive_MATH]

Here is the data plotted on a scatter plot on @TICalculators. Data collected by #coding in #python. Real data that can lead to some nice class discussions.

[Mr. Posnanski @POSitive_MATH]

I totally (eclipse) agree with this!

[Harshal S Chhaya @hschhaya]

Having experienced today’s awe-inspring eclipse, I can totally understand why people travel to see these

[Mr. Posnanski @POSitive_MATH]

What a relief! I was sweating 😰 it out whether it was going to work!

[Mr. Posnanski @POSitive_MATH]

Successful data collection during #EclipseSolar2024 using @TICalculators #InnovatorHub. #STEM measuring brightness of the sun. An amazing experience! 🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕!!

[Mr. Posnanski @POSitive_MATH]

Enjoying the #EclipseSolar2024 with my @VTLakeMonsters shirt!!

[Mr. Posnanski @POSitive_MATH]

Doing some prep-work for collecting brightness and temperature data with @TICalculators #EclipseSolar2024 🤞for clear skies ☀️ and 🌝

I couldn’t just leave it almost @dunkindonuts now it’s all there. Perhaps a new design?

[Mr. Posnanski @POSitive_MATH]

Playing around with #coding loops in #Python 🐍on @TICalculators and this image made me think of @dunkindonuts
