Do you teach your Ss that tangent is slope? I've had enough Ss who did not know this, so I'm sharing it, in case it helps you. Kids have an easier time with tangent values when they see this connection.

"people who are anxious about math are not anxious because they're bad at it, they're bad at math because they're anxious about it." -Sian Beilock (Hidden Brain podcast)

"Practice Makes Perfect" is unrealistic. "Practice Makes Progress" is more accurate. Kids should be encouraged to make progress without feeling the need to be perfect.

@mathequalslove Way to go Sarah!

in a perfectly rectangular pool table, balls bounce in an orderly pattern. But even a slight curve in the walls will make it chaotic, so that after a few bounces the balls totally lose their formation

To the ELL teacher who wrote this incredibly kind review, I just want to say thank you. You made my day.

I wrote the Summit Math Algebra series to help me teach my own Ss, but in the past year, they have been used by Ss in more than 40 states around the country. Summit Math is just one option among many good ones, but it's an option that seems to work well for some students.

My 9yo son said "I hate math" while struggling through long division. I assured him his feelings about math were tied to his current struggle, but it reminded me how important it is to guide kids through these moments to help preserve their love of learning.

An extension of @AlexKontorovich's dad joke:

Dad:
15x2 = 16x2

Kid:
No it doesn't.

Dad:
Sure it does!
15x2 = thirty
16x2 = thirty too

😀

Claim: 10+10 = 11+11

Proof:

10+10 = twenty

11+11 = twenty too

Sorry. Dad joke.

Listening to many kids and adults share their views on what's going on in the US right now, I realize now as much as ever how beneficial it is to listen to each other. You show someone their voice is worth hearing when you make time to give them space to talk.

What do you prefer?
option1⃣: memorize 7x12 ➡️ 84
option2⃣: break it apart
7x10 + 7x2 ➡️ 70 + 14 ➡️ 84

I love seeing students break numbers apart and put them back together again to do computations like this.

Do you see the math error? 😱😁 I just saw this in a new cookbook we have been using this week. Even my kids see it!

First time playing @QwirkleGame. Just noticed the symmetry of the 6 shapes. Do you see it? All 6 shapes have 90 degree rotational symmetry. Nice design strategy! 4 players see the same shape no matter where they sit.
