Final projects: Data Analysis unit with original source data, 2 Abstracts for publication on Transformational Adaptation! Thanks @FulbrightTeach, @FulbrightGreece for the opportunity, data host @TuvaLabs, & so many others! #iteachmath @IndianaAreaSD https://t.co/x2XVu5iibE

As I play my a favorite memorable moment video for complementary angles for another year, I'm wondering if the #mtbos and #iteachmath folks have moved to a new platform? https://t.co/nyDpBLIKu0

[Gerald Smith @mrgesmith]

Thanks Jocelyn Foran, @TuvaLabs
for hosting my data unit developed for 2024 @FulbrightPrgrm. the engaging dynamic visuals fostering creativity in data analysis. And thanks for this great write-up! I hope to work with Tuva again! #iteachmath

@MrCorleyMath I have a bunch of stuff for this for geometry and pre-algebra which could be used for algebra also if you're interested.

Mark it dude. Election Day 2024, the first day I ever printed a mostly AI created worksheet using @briskteaching , and @ChatGPTap It was helpful to have it create the scenarios, and took about the same time compared to adjusting a textbook created worksheet. #iteachmath

@kareem_carr What can you do in HS data science?

[Gerald Smith @mrgesmith]

Anyone in the #mtbos use https://t.co/kqzRXWcLW4 to teach secondary math? #iteachmath @IndianaAreaSD

Another Story of Sustainability - this one from beautiful Santorini - and my interview with Geogina Nomikou, President of the Santorini Muncipal Council. #iteachmath

Looking for a primer on understanding #DataScience curriculum at the high school level. Can anyone point me in the right direction? #iteachmath @IndianaAreaSD

[Gerald Smith @mrgesmith]

@Mrneilhistory Guess things haven't changed much @IndianaAreaSD this year? I worry about coming back talking about climate change 😲

[Gerald Smith @mrgesmith]

Mr. Smith's Mathbox new post from my #Fulbrightgreece, featuring inspirational, and challenging work of leaders on four islands in the Southern Aegean. They also include draft lesson plans I intend to use #iteachmath @IndianaAreaSD @FulbrightTeach

How do you understand problems and find solutions to problems presented by climate change? How about some math? Here's a new post on two data driven projects I've come across @FulbrightGreece! #iteachmath @IndianaAreaSD https://t.co/dNcXyFU05E

Here's another update on my #Fulbright @FulbrightTeach at @FulbrightGreece #iteachmath @IndianaAreaSD

Kids say they want to learn more about climate change. Here’s how you can teach about it so your students understand the problem—and know that solutions are possible. 🌱 https://t.co/wM0AunG2Ua

@code_c00000fd @mayak46 @kathyhen_ Then they should be concurrent. Algebra 2 is the end of many student's math career there is never a WHY. If we're bending over backwards rationalizing denominators and proving log identities, we should have a why. If not, it's just mental gymnastics designed to weed people out.

[Gerald Smith @mrgesmith]

@mayak46 @kathyhen_ I didn't read anything in this article that supported traditional Algebra 2. A majority of that curricula are tools and tricks developed to make calculations with log, trig, or root tables. There's no WHY - "you'll need it later" which is bad pedagogy. DS should be prioritized.

[Gerald Smith @mrgesmith]

@_CrystalMWatson There's a several skills here that this student shows mastery. Multiplication fact recall is only 1, and not likely what the lesson was about. I would have given partial credit, handed them a multi. table, or calculator and ask them to do it again. I'd bet they'd ace it.

[Gerald Smith @mrgesmith]

@howie_hua Yes. Try https://t.co/VkD40QeUCa

[Gerald Smith @mrgesmith]

@ddmeyer @mathillustrated Congratulations! That's awesome!

[Gerald Smith @mrgesmith]

@howie_hua oops! @desmos

[Gerald Smith @mrgesmith]

@howie_hua Isn't it time to put this thing to bed? Isn't the Quadratic Formula a relic of a pre-technological age when finding zeros was harder than @desoms? Isn't it now just a clever trick (w/associated tricks) that acts as a gatekeeper to careers in tech? I'd be happy to be proven wrong.
