@missaclarke @zachlanebryan I got this in a note today, 🤣

[Fermat's Library @fermatslibrary]

The formula for the minimal length of a piece of paper so that you can fold it "n" times was derived by 16 year old Britney Gallivan in 2002.

Is there anything Pascal’s triangle can’t do? #thinkingclassroom #hpedsb

Data Management students made connections between triangular and tetrahedral numbers, building onto the general equation in different dimensions and representing these numbers as combinations!

@ONT_Dad This is the same government that stated “OSSLT results would be available to schools by the end of June”. End of June meant 5:30 pm last night. So this teacher spent the first 6 hours of her “vacation” notifying kids and creating spreadsheets we can plan for September. 🙄

If you haven’t tried Nerdle (the math version of Wordle) I can’t recommend it enough. I’m planning to have all students I come in contact with through my Student Success role, give it a try!

Secondary science teaching folx! @OntScienceCtr created science at home activities for most secondary sci courses using accessible materials. https://t.co/F8BZSyZhNR

@megstalter I call them, “The Odd Couple”.

[Kareem Carr, Ph.D. @kareem_carr]

Solving this puzzle will give you a taste of how mathematicians prove things mathematically. Try it out!

[Ms. Apperley @ms_apps_math]

This is fascinating!

[Neil deGrasse Tyson @neiltyson]

If Archimedes were a bird…

A thirsty Magpie, displaces water with stones, allowing it to drink continually from the top of the bottle. That’s Badass.

@missaclarke @QuinteHumaneSoc @eastside_ravens @TimHortons YES! I did this too 🤣

Phones can be useful in the classroom! Students took photos of their group work from the whiteboards so they could add the examples to their notes.

[Ms. Apperley @ms_apps_math]

MAP 4C students were introduced to this question to begin their unit.

Excellent discussions about selecting formulas, isolating variables, converting units and the significance of decimals.

We’ll revisit this later to discuss how to solve problems without using numbers.

[Ms. Apperley @ms_apps_math]

MAP 4C students investigate the beauty of triangular numbers in today’s question.

A great problem involving using patterns and *gasp* Quadratic review from grades 10 and 11 😮😮😮

You guys nailed it! 🥳🤩😎

#ThinkingClassroom

[Ms. Apperley @ms_apps_math]

My absolute favourite part of the #thinkingclassroom is that moment a student goes from “I hate this, it’s too hard!” to “ahhhhhh I think I’ve got it!”. 😡🤔🥳

Grade 11 workplace students complete the “Crossing the Bridge” Question today.

[Ms. Apperley @ms_apps_math]

Another year, another chance to expand on our #thinkingclassroom skills!

I am looking forward to seeing you all one week from today 🥳

[Ms. Apperley @ms_apps_math]

Have a safe and happy summer, Huskies. We will see you in September 😁

[Ms. Apperley @ms_apps_math]

Teaching and learning alongside these kids is it’s own reward, but flowers and cards are nice too 👍😁

Have a wonderful, safe and happy summer everyone. I can’t wait to see you all again in September!

[Ms. Apperley @ms_apps_math]

Raps, Raps, Raps!!! Canada 🇨🇦 is so proud of you. #NBAPlayoffs #NBAFINAL #torontoraptors
