Getting lost between Zoom rooms, done with my talk and now the last session of the day. Would like my students to listen up here! @CodeSavvyOrg

Getting ready to present at the MNCodes Educators Summit in an hour! @CodeSavvyOrg

@howie_hua 4*$1.50+4*$0.25 = 6+1 = $7

@Mathowitz Messi, Beckham, Schweinsteiger and others also play in the US when reaching European soccer retirement. It's a move to slow down ...

@MathsCirclesOz This and rotations (90/180/270).

@pwharris I see that 24 and 18 have 6 as the gcf.

24 of 100 = 6 of 25 = 18 of 75.

The answer is 75. Expand and reduce ratios.

@Mathowitz Is he a hands-on guy? I would have him build a square (or maybe he recognizes the 100 plate as such right away) a là "complete the square".

[STischer in MN @germanmathmama]

@pwharris I saw the 7 in both, so "14 is 35% of ..." = "2 is 5% of ...". Expand by 20 (5*20=100) -> of 40.

Cat is "helping" with the second to last grade of the quarter and the school year ...

@eschy12 I used that in my first year if teaching, not knowing any better. Did not stick with students in the long run. Now I do everything with the box method (both factoring and polynomial long division) and it's much more efficient of a tool.

Ah, I should have checked the correct handle first ... @mctm_mn

A giant stack of printed handouts were given out at @mctm. I recognized the layout and wanted to let @mathequalslove know that her puzzles are appreciated in Northern Minnesota early on a Saturday morning! (Credit was given.)

Why I asked my principal to please let me teach computer science vs "a coding class" #mncodes #codesavvyorg #petpeeve

[STischer in MN @germanmathmama]

Kicking off the #MNCodes Educator Summit on zoom to be able to say #iteachCS besides #iteachmath. It has been a steep learning curve this year and @codesavvyorg was super helpful!

@Trianglemancsd "kurz vor halb neun" - German precision!

[STischer in MN @germanmathmama]

@howie_hua I thought it was only me seeing 18*20 (so 18*2, add a zero). Good to know I'm not alone.
