I love how many things Ss can derive on their own just with a strong visual anchor (and #smudgedmath). They just need the time and opportunity.

@robertkaplinsky Not formally yet, but the intent of creating this @SmudgedMath account has been to retweet examples that people have created. I think what’s retweeted her is probably the most comprehensive, but I know @normabgordon started collecting some on her page & has a tab dedicated to it.

Trying out this new gem we just found. Inspired by @mfannie and @smudgedmath for our Math Cohort PD today! #BSDpride #SmudgedMath

How would you change this question for a #thinkingclassroom? Maybe smudge something? #smudgemath @thinkingclssrms

[Phil Smith @psmithdad]

I teach in Saturdays, so I might be the only one trying out ⁦@pgliljedahl⁩ and ⁦@JudytaLarsen⁩ #smudgemath the day after their talk at #NCTMregionals !

[SmudgedMath @SmudgedMath]

Fun solution space to explore.

What generalizations could emerge?

@the_stigs @pgliljedahl @JudytaLarsen Y=(smudge)(x-smudge)^2+(smudge) has two roots four apart.

[Alex Overwijk @AlexOverwijk]

At #NCTMRegionals #NCTMSeattle digging deep with @JudytaLarsen and @pgliljedahl with SmudgedMath @SmudgedMath

Being intentional in our smudging.

I need to explore this more-so much to learn.

Thought provoking session.

Day 48: Ss tackle this @SmudgedMath problem! Great conversation and connection building, but I wonder how I can lower the floor. Was difficult for some Ss to get started! #teach180 #mtbos #iteachmath

[Amanda Wegman @AmandaJWegman]

Trying my first #smudgedmath. How did I do?! #mtbos @SmudgedMath

[Richard Hung @rnhung]

Day 49: More @SmudgedMath . 3, 4, 5 wasn't the only solution! Allowed Ss to see irrational side length possibilities! #teach180

[SmudgedMath @SmudgedMath]

Some #smudgedmath creations from workshop folks at #nwmath!
Finding ways to set constraints to free mathematical possibilities!

The paper is smudged. Can the answer be correct? Discuss. #SmudgedMath

[Peter Liljedahl @pgliljedahl]

The paper is smudged. Can this system of equations have a solution? Discuss. #SmudgedMath

[Peter Liljedahl @pgliljedahl]

The paper is smudged. Can this be a regular polygon? Discuss. #SmudgedMath

[Peter Liljedahl @pgliljedahl]

The paper is smudged. Can this piecewise function be differentiable? Discuss. #SmudgedMath

[Peter Liljedahl @pgliljedahl]

The paper is smudged. What kind of quadrilateral can this be? Discuss. #SmudgedMath

[Judy Larsen @JudytaLarsen]

What about this? How will this smudge engage Ss differently than in Norma's first Qn? #SmudgedMath @martinsean @pgliljedahl @normabgordon
