That awkward silence where every second feels like an hour actually has its benefits, a 2021 study suggests.

[Math for Love @MathforLove]

The number 12 has exactly 6 factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, and 12.

Can you find a number with exactly 7 factors?

Please no spoilers! But if you have a hint that could put people on the right track, please reply!

Two years ago, I teamed up with fellow astrophotographer and planetary scientist @MatherneConnor to capture the most ridiculously detailed moon image we could. Over the last few months we put our heads together again to come up with something even clearer. Behold:

I've been a math educator since 2003 and Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics by @pgliljedahl has more potential to improve the way we teach mathematics than any other book I have ever read.

I wrote a blog post to share why we should all read it:

“wanting more time for lesson planning is not the same as wanting lesson plans to be provided” <— An excellent piece on why outsourcing the core work of teachers will not solve the teacher shortage but further diminish their professional standing.

Research shows that toddlers not only help but often do so for altruistic reasons (genuine concern): https://t.co/OFVjIngmED.
Unfortunately, other research shows that rewarding/praising kids for helping diminishes that altruism: https://t.co/2LzJIdAriB & https://t.co/ApnCOWJXpB

This is a mathematics joke. The number 8 is talking with a psychotherapist.

...Also see https://t.co/8RJf8iDFzl for a political critique of teaching mindfulness to children. And read https://t.co/JaFbLLhRyh to see how that concept is used to help kids cope with tests (rather than inviting them to question the value of, and oppose, the tests themselves).

Read past the typically uncritical reporting here to reflect on the hair-raising phenomenon being described: Class Dojo, the cutesy app for training students to obey as if they were pets now also leverages “mindfulness” as a tool to elicit compliance: https://t.co/hqVzlsHcE4...
