Thanks a bunch to @alonamit for leading today's SF math teacher circle. Explored a fascinating (and different) way to visualize functions. Spent time searching for fixed points, blinkers, & trinkers. Functions as simple as f(x)=-1/(1+x) were amazing!
First San Francisco Math Teacher Circle of the 2019-2020 school year! A big thanks to Pedro Morales-Almazán for facilitating a whole bunch of math using the Rubik's Cube. Also a big.rhabks to the 36 people who showed up.

Excited to have Elysée Wilson-Egolf fascilitating today's SF Teacher Math Circle at The Proof School. She'll be discussing a very surprising mathematical result involving scissors. Hope to see you there!
Big turnout at Desmos for San Francisco Math Teachers’ Circle. Bree Murray is leading us in the very timely topic of the Geometry of Gerrymandering! #batmath
@zimmerdiamonds @rdkpickle @btwnthenumbers Next SF Math Teacher Circle is this Saturday at @desmos hq, led by @btwnthenumbers on the topic "Geometry of Gerrymandering." Session runs from 9:30-12. While you won't get to vote on the types of bagels, strength of the coffee, or what we order for lunch, we hope you can join!
First San Francisco Math Teacher Circle of the year! Thanks to @PaulAZeitz for facilitating, and thanks for the Proof School for hosting. Raise your hand if you're excited to do some math.
