@Mathowitz @DavidKButlerUoA @mathequalslove My archers are really good, they would have to play the game as intended. I would produce some enlarged the game boards so it would be fun for my younger archers.

@DavidKButlerUoA @Mathowitz @mathequalslove I plan on bring this to archery practice.

I just learned about CO2 pipelines. Are the people against these pipelines against pipelines for oil? Or is this a NIMBY (Not In My Back Yard) thing?

New Book: Along with Jeff Venables, I’ve just released a new book that might be of particular interest to teachers in South Carolina who are members of PEBA.

@EckertKathleen @heymrsbond @karlfisch Low cost too, like $10 a book. Should be a welcome gift for every new teacher. I have sent them to my former student teachers.

@gwaddellnvhs @mathteacher24 The teaching community on Reddit is full of rants. I would be more involved if you could hide all those posts. Also, on Twitter I was able to intentionally diversify my timeline, on Reddit it isn’t clear who is contributing.

@GuyboGuylark @wojespn You cannot trade firsts in consecutive years. Having no firsts to trade isn’t the same as having no firsts.

@FanaticGeometry I’m going to work on this problem. I want to see if it is solvable without knowing each circle sums to 28.

[Thomas Totushek NBCT @TheMathProphet]

@FanaticGeometry I like this, what is the source please.

TIL that all those times KAT kicks out on his shot it should be a Defensive Foul, not an Offensive one. I expect his FT rate to skyrocket next season! #NBA

It just dawned on my why ChatGPT just makes up its own facts. It has proven to be a successful strategy for so long and it is trained on human behavior/language. ChatGPT blows the same smoke your crazy uncle does! Now I fear AI for a completely different reason!

Hey @mctownsley you keep showing up in my own research. Love this paragraph from your dissertation. SBG classrooms assessment practices may not match the high stakes testing they see from time to time. Definitely true in PBL classrooms (which goes well with SBG).

Virginia folks, if you haven't opened a 529 college savings plan for your kid(s) yet, you might want to do so today or tomorrow: Get a free $50 (each) plus all the other advantages of a 529 plan https://t.co/QZCCWkn0tE

⁦@StPaulOpen⁩ has a podcast OWL Celebrates Learning (⁦@OWLCelebrates⁩) this is unlike anything you’ve experienced. How do I know? Spotify says there is nothing like it in their podcast library. Take a listen! Stories told by OWL students. @ELeducation⁩

@Larryferlazzo I feed it 5-6 previous LORs and it writes them just like me!

@MattMcNeilShow I’m not for even discussing this unless North and South Dakota merge and DC becomes the 50th state.

@Dsrussosusan Perhaps a more unpopular opinion then: Factoring GCF is more important that factoring quadratic trinomials. GCF factoring is a much more generalized factoring type, is easier to learn, and is a more conceptually important. If we were moving one of the two, I’m for keeping GCF.
