@gareth_metcalfe The American Math people are moving. We just need the English and Irish maths people to come too! You all have such valuable contributions to math education!
@gareth_metcalfe Politics. Twitter (X) is owed by Elon and many are angry about his involvement with the election results and want away from the MAGA movement. They are closing their X accts and moving to Blue Sky. Some have both sites until,their followers find them on BlueSky
@gareth_metcalfe The math group is growing over there. A lot of Americans find it a better environment. It’s a pretty divided nation these days. We love the European maths community, so we’re hoping they give Blue Sky a try.
@pearse_margie@SueOConnellMath @MNmMath @AnnEliseRecord @drnickimath@MFAnnie@RawdingMolly@joboaler I would also start with sone basic one step problems to help them understand the Whys. Ex solve these two 2x=10 And then 2x=28 setting it up as you would in the longer equation. Am I making sense?
@pearse_margie@SueOConnellMath @MNmMath @AnnEliseRecord @drnickimath@MFAnnie@RawdingMolly@joboaler I would use the one with the crossing off. The long line of an equation may overwhelm kids who may already struggle with reading and get confused by the long line. I think step by step is clearer for students as they can regroup at the end of every step.
@pearse_margie This is beautiful and heartfelt. Thank you for sharing. You make the world a better place! I think of you often and will continue to pray for you and your family.
