Just as we began talking about Rotational Symmetry, this came on the news. What a perfect example of math in art. Students were in awe of this artist’s work, and it went well with the optical illusions we were discussing in our #ocsbMathUp lesson #ocsbMath https://t.co/vP2Oc7hQmv

Cookie baking, part 2...all done with the peanut butter cookies—what’s your estimate for the total number baked?

[Math Monkey @Math_Monkey1]

Cookie baking on a wintry ❄️ day! Yum! So how many cookies on the tray so far? How do you know? How did you count?

Love your pumpkin patterning, my friend! So much math to see here!

@SandraNaufal @StBernardOCSB @OCSBContEd @JumpInCanada So talented, my friend!

I spy 60° ‘diamonds’! How many do you see? (Hint: look closely at the second pic as there may be a few ‘diamonds’ hiding in the stars!)

[Berkeley Everett @BerkeleyEverett]

Let’s play “I spy” - but you can’t say 124.

I’ll go first. I spy 62. Do you see it? (I used all the blocks!)

Your turn.

[Math Monkey @Math_Monkey1]

@BerkeleyEverett Love this! I spy 42 😁👍

[Math Monkey @Math_Monkey1]

I spy with my math eye.....
What do you notice? What do you wonder?

A Mathsy version of wordle?

This is cool.

So last week I took a photo of some boxes of potato chips and when I was back at the same shop, I took another photo—can you see the difference? And what difference would it make if I buy some now?

[Math Monkey @Math_Monkey1]

@vwang001 @StPhilipOCSB Can’t hurt to have a few leftovers! #RealLifeRemainders

[Math Monkey @Math_Monkey1]

More wonderings....how many boxes would your principal have to buy so each person in your school could have a bag of chips? How much would that cost?

[Math Monkey @Math_Monkey1]

Have been noticing lots of #HalloweenMath 🎃
I wonder...how many boxes of potato chips altogether? How could we figure that out? What would be a reasonable estimate for how many little chip bags in each box? In all the boxes altogether? What would it cost to buy all these boxes?

[Math Monkey @Math_Monkey1]

Someone with eagle eyes might notice that the boxes have helpful information printed on them...

[Math Monkey @Math_Monkey1]

So I just took a photo of a page in a children’s math picture book—the entire book focusses on the ‘differences’ between squares and rectangles...can you see why I wish there was a monkey facepalm emoji? #mathmisconceptions @SACDavidson
