We have been using @Desmos to address student writing in mathematics. Questions where students are asked to modify another student's thinking reduce the cognitive demand of creating an original response, but still push students to analyze and justify (SMP3).

Interesting read! Modeling the phenomenon of pendulum clocks that get in sync. #idahomath

[Steven Strogatz @stevenstrogatz]

Our latest paper was published today. It’s about the classic (and amazing!) phenomenon of pendulum clocks that get in sync. Metronomes can do something similar, as you may have seen in videos on YouTube. Hopefully the intro of the paper is readable. Enjoy! https://t.co/aVsuW71yeF

New duck tessellation based on a spiral tiling of quadrilaterals

I love trying out new tasks. Today I worked with 4th graders on our new Carpet Task in @Desmos. I made a few modifications based on student feedback after the lesson, but overall the kids understood the area model for division.

The Buying Carpet task in @Desmos addresses Area Division of Whole Numbers with a real world context. Let me know what you think. #idahomath

Not to be missed. An hour to go.... have 3 dice at the ready

It's the birth day of Martin Gardner, a man who made math accessible, fun, & magical! #Celebrationofmind #martingardner #mathisfun #idahomath

[Martin Gardner tweet @WWMGT]

Please RT & spread the word: Martin Gardner was born 106 years ago today. He died 10 years ago (in May). Today we offer Zoom presentations on flexagons, memories (from son Jim) of growing up w/ the great writer, and magic with dice from @turnermagic

Thinking about online education I am consistently drawn back to this ingnite talk by @mjfenton. The video creates the perfect lens for self-evaluation and I am left feeling inspired every time I watch it. Hope you are too.

I am not sure when @MLCmath changed their Free Apps so that students can now share their work with a link, but I think this is a game changer!

I am excited try out the feature with my online class of math teachers next week! #idahomath @idmathed

Today's Notice and Wonder - two-sided counters that we packed into math kits. What mathematical questions could we answer? #idahomath

Info: Each stack has five counters. Each math kit received 20 counters. We used 7,000 total counters. I averaged 1,000 counters/27 minutes.

Are you a HS Teacher looking for real-world data? Try the Quantitative Environmental Learning Project. Data is sorted by function type. Students can easily transfer data into @Desmos or @geogebra for analysis. #idahomath @idmathed

My algebra 2 class and I have been tracking covid cases in Idaho using @Desmos. Our model is predicting the next days cases pretty accurately... unfortunately. #idahomath

Does your child need practice with fraction add/sub and finding equivalent fractions? You should think about playing "Race to One" in your home.

Here is a detailed video on how to create the game pieces and how to play the game. @idmathed #idahomath

Parents of middle schoolers, we have not forgotten about you.

Below is a link to one of our favorite problems that your child can watch and solve at home. We will post the answer later. #idahomath @idmathed
