The set of all points in a plane that are equidistant from a given point is a circle. Using some geometry to help my lovely wife make a mural in our home.

I tasked my Precalc Honors students with creating our own class set of charty party cards. Hundreds of index cards later, I have graded and sorted through accurately described graphs. Time to form some decks, so we can play a round! #mathcanbefun

It's always a struggle to keep students engaged on the day before a break. Today, we combined the classic of hand turkeys with finding the domains of functions formed by arithmetic operations. A turkey version of our school leader @MarkBerkowitz44 can be seen at the bottom left.

Optimization of volume today in Precalculus! #appliedmaths

@RDennis08 Congratulations! I'm so happy for you to get to go back to where it all started!

I love this context for introducing Least Common Multiple to students. How many hot dogs and buns should Steve Martin buy?

Year 4 is in the books. It was filled with high and lows. I joined an amazing staff in Pelham Schools, but had to overcome CoVid protocols. I built great relationships with my students, but I lost 3 of my former students. Here's to a summer of reflection! #LLallthem #happysummer

In today's math in real life, Mr. Q uses parallel lines and proportions to help him make his new patio. #mathman #mathinreallife #teachpracticality #whenwillieverusethis

Piloted Gather Town in class today, and I dont think I've ever had as many student congratulate me on job well done as much as today... Needless to say they loved it! Thank you @DrTCallahan for the hook up!

This week students designed their dream bedroom using scale drawing to create a layout of their actual bedroom using its dimensions. Oh yeah, and they had a budget too! Most engagement I saw all year. #teachrealworldmath #mathinlife

NFL Championship Sunday a few days away! Dunder Mifflin has fans of all 4 teams. Wallace w/special message for the Bills & the City of Buffalo! (Office fans, don’t read into it too much - just having fun.) 😀

#whenwillieverusethis. Applying those geometry skills of parallel lines sharing the same slope to install baseboard molding on a pesky wall with an obtuse angle. Happy Holidays yall! #mathinlife

It's Holiday Spirit Week at PMS. I have sure I end up on top! #HappyHolidays

Great work from my good friend from college working on LI. Can she get a shout out? @NYGovCuomo #WearAMask #NYstrong #newnormal

Really enjoying the @Desmos activity builder. Whether your school is fully open, hybrid or virtual, theres endless potential to be had here! I'm using it to give my virtual students the most authentic lab experience I can.

[Aj Quackenbush @schoolboyquacks]

Hot Take: The e-learning experience is just what some veteran math teachers needed to help push them into purposefully using the amazing math teaching applications out there! @Desmos @ddmeyer

@TakeAwayTre_ You ain't gotta explain nothing to no one. You do you!
