@mrs_frommert @kathyhen_ @mslignanmath @GotMathHelp @techknowmath @Sneffleupagus @mathequalslove @MrCorleyMath I'm late to the game and can't see the 80/20 idea. Let's talk sometime.

@BurnsideMath @ellenthompsonca Thanks! My favorite is the @3blue1brown series. I have to go in a very different order, though, so we look at some of those later on.

What's your favorite way to introduce calculus to your students? Looking for the video with the most beautiful hook, the activity that always sparks curiosity, etc. Not too technical yet.

(@BurnsideMath & @ellenthompsonca, I know you've got one! 😊)

Harvard study:
"Contrary to conventional wisdom, taking high school calculus isn’t necessary for success in college calculus. What’s more important is mastering the prereqs — algebra, geometry, and trigonometry — that lead to calculus."

"A precalculus course that invites a more diverse group of students to prepare for college math, encourages more students to complete 4 years of math in high school, & improves student readiness to succeed in STEM courses and majors in college."

@mrs_frommert @Desmos @pgliljedahl I de-digitized a couple of my favorite @desmos tasks. Some are great question progressions that don't actually need much tech. Groups did well with making some initial predictions on the board, then digging deeper with a graph on one shared laptop.

Texas is aiming high tonight. ⭐

[Matthew Watkins @MWatkinsTrib]

The NWS map for Texas right now is absolutely insane. There are flood, tornado, red flag (dangerous wildfires), high wind and blizzard warnings in various parts of the state. Also coastal flood and high surf advisories.

Our amazing international school in Houston is hiring 1-2 new IB DP Math teachers for next year. We definitely have a position for an HL Analysis pro, and likely also for SL/HL Apps. https://t.co/t0XEQ0aGu6.

I love this idea. For #ibmath, it's a fantastic extension of the 5-minute reading time.

[Howie Hua @howie_hua]

It's been a while since in-person exams for me so I'm really excited to do Test Talks again.

For the first 5 minutes of the exam, students talk w/ each other while looking at the exam w/out writing utensils. So many benefits including lowered test anxiety and rich conversations.
