I am excited to celebrate #GlobalDignityDay today with @GlobalDignity.

@AlexOverwijk @Desmos You can when working with pi
(it doesn't work for other irrational numbers though, e.g. e, or non-terminating decimals like 1/3).
Hopefully that helps!

[Mrs. Pravda Haas @PravdaHaas]

@ms_pyp @Hedreich Thank you, but they apparently have hundreds of lessons on their site (while the ones above are "outside" their domain I believe), and when I click on their topics, it gives me nothing: https://t.co/jwJF6v5Obc; there are some in this chart though: https://t.co/eaSJuejNDJ

[Julia Anker @AnkerMath]

what's a quote you learned in your teaching program that stuck with you?

for me, it's "telling isn't teaching"

[Mrs. Pravda Haas @PravdaHaas]

The division of problems:
- math or social studies
- social justice or environmentalism
- the department of agriculture or the department of labor
- grade 10 or 11

The reality is that these are interconnected—especially the problems and solutions.

Today’s #WorkplaceandApprenticeshipMath10 activity involving Unit Rates and discounts: exploring the costs and waste of #MardiGras beads! #EnvironmentalJustice #MTBoS #EthicalTeacher #MathTeacher #UNESCOeducation
Thanks @Yummymath for this connection!

#BlackHistoryMonth and #Math
How can a geometric net of the Earth alter our worldview? The maps we are used to seeing allows us to focus on the Northern Hemisphere (based on angles). Land mass tells a different story.

About to get ready for #WorkplaceandApprenticeshipMath! #ProportionalReasonsing and #UnitPricing all to do with #EnergyEfficiency 👇

Do YOU know how to compare prices of lightbulbs & it’s lifespan?

[Mrs. Pravda Haas @PravdaHaas]

Today’s math connection of #exponentialfunctions & #desmosregressions is to human population & how this affects our planet (and how this relates to #humanrights — who is the MOST affected?). FM30 final today 🎉 congrats gr12s! #MTBoS #EthicalTeachers #unesco

If you do the same things everyday, with no novelty or varied routine, expect your brain to shrink.

Today’s #SocialJusticeMath connection 👇
How can we start to build #environmental connections in the math classroom? #Solarpanels are no where near the ideal solution, but let’s start the conversation. #MTBoS #EthicalTeachers #UNESCOeducation @ASPnetUNESCO

[Mrs. Pravda Haas @PravdaHaas]

Just added advanced addition war, product war, fraction war, integer addition war, integer product war, and wild war to our division's https://t.co/cxIazQXgnk.

[Mrs. Pravda Haas @PravdaHaas]

Just found this game from @letsplaymath
Excited to use it for fractions! https://t.co/j2j2j4y1SF

[Mrs. Pravda Haas @PravdaHaas]

What I have been long wanting as a math teacher, is to build a community that speak about how to incorporate social injustices in the classroom. More than a vacuum, as we look at the connectedness of environmentalism and human rights. #morethantalk #MTBoS

[Just Equations @JUST_Equations]

This is a master class on how to go about creating your own #SocialJusticeMath lessons. Thank you @jstaley06 @robertqberry @blaw0013 @basilconway for your work and providing this @SJMathematics book #JUST_Equations #TODOSLive #MathEquity #MathChat

@FedericoChialvo We used the main image in the icon last month! They started adding up the blocks as we had in previous pictures. “Wait, how many colours are there?” “3” “and are they all equally sized?” “Yes” “does it ever end?” Then talking about the infinite 0.333...

[Mrs. Pravda Haas @PravdaHaas]

Did this yesterday for Foundational Math 30 — Regressions of polynomials, exponential, and periodic functions; some issues arose, (so insert a table on the slide before, then they have the option to write it down), but really convenient for others!

[Susan Carriker @techknowmath]

#edtech tip: Create tables of data is Google sheets so kids can copy & paste into @desmos for analysis. An amazing time saver #mtbos #iteachmath

[Jordan Rappaport @JRappaport27]

Something to think about as we head into the weekend. #iteachmath #mtbos #yrdsbmath

Perfect cubes 😍
S: “It’s like a rubrics cube”
S: “there is a 100 by 100 rubrics cube!”
Me: “let’s Google it!”
All of us: “wow!”
