interesting study into what kind of students claim to be familiar with non-existent mathematics https://t.co/hHWBVrv4Ug #maths #mathschat #tok

some of the great ideas my DP students have for their #ibmath exploration - lots of creativity!

[Alan Ramm @alanramm]

my key takeaways from #IBHK2019 - focus on student resilience & wellbeing, originality/creativity, and (in maths) conceptual understanding

[Alan Ramm @alanramm]

the AI course should offer lots of opportunities for local & global contexts @JenniferWathall @Oxford_IB #conceptbasedmaths

@flyPAL I just got an email with a change to my MNL-HKG flight which says "Please advise us if you accept the new schedule." But it is from no-reply@... How do I accept it?

Can't believe I'd never discovered the analysis toolpak in Excel before! Had fun with year 13 today generating Poisson data to test the central limit theorem #maths #mathschat #statistics

Fun evening yesterday with other HK maths teachers, @MichaelOllerton and @ATMMathematics

I was wondering why normal means perpendicular - turns out it's the original meaning of the word! From the Latin for a carpenter's square.

Maltese is fascinating to read & listen to - descended from Arabic but heavily influenced by Italian.

Our year 12 IBHL maths students have been presenting proposals for their explorations - looking forward to seeing what they produce!

[Alan Ramm @alanramm]

Found this in HK central library - a history of mathematical notation!

2^2=2+2=4.... right or wrong? Students had some interesting arguments #mathschat

[Alan Ramm @alanramm]

we took our students to a lecture by Fields medallist Martin Hairer this afternoon! Very interesting.

[Alan Ramm @alanramm]

Did this with year 12 - some solved it with algebra, some numerically, and one group moved pawns on a chessboard :) https://t.co/ZIcrfJzIvR

This generated a lot of discussion & showed up students' misconceptions with logarithms #mathschat

[Alan Ramm @alanramm]

@JenniferWathall Yes that would be good to see

[Alan Ramm @alanramm]

This starter from @Desmos led to a nice proof by induction for my IBHL class #mathschat
