Mathematics looks more elegant when you look at it from a perspective of patterns and symmetries...ᝰ.ᐟ

Archimedes discovered that if you add the volume of a cone and a sphere, you get the volume of their bounding cylinder. It’s one of the most beautiful results in 3D geometry! Learn more at https://t.co/45KUaWmR8s

A routine to promote sense making is As Close As It Gets, where you don't have to solve the problem, just choose the answer that is the closest.

How will your students answer?

Day 168: Today we played a variation of Dots and Boxes called Box the Numbers. Not only is each player trying to claim boxes, but they also get a score based on the numbers inside their boxes. They loved it! Thanks for sharing this variation, @MathforLove! https://t.co/UtyhKyQ7m9

This puzzle qualifies as a community one, meaning I'd have a large version of this on class wall where everyone is invited to try during transition/break times.

But you can play with it on the slide I've made, just drag the numbers in.

Cheers!

@howie_hua For me, the most important thing is that it's the same as 75% of 80. Possibly the most important mental arithmetic hack of all...

[Howie Hua @howie_hua]

It's Mental Math Monday. How would you mentally calculate 80% of 75?
