One way to help students learn strategies is to fill in the blanks in someone's strategies.
How would you describe this strategy to solve this percent problem?

Try this shady #yohaku. Fill in cells with 9 different integers to get products shown in each row/column AND sum of 4 shaded cells is -8. #mathsky #iTeachMath
I love openmiddle.com
How many rectangles can you make? How do you know you got them all?
I’d rather not say.

Start your day with this #yohaku. Fill in cells with 9 different factors of 510 to get totals shown in each row/column. #mathsky #iTeachMath

It is mathematical behavior to ask 'What do I know?' and 'How can I use what I know to know something else?'
Lovely proportional reasoning Kathleen! Scaling up and down in tandem, combining pieces that make sense and staying in context. Super!

Continuing the theme, we watched part of @chadtopaz.bsky.social's @breakingmath.bsky.social interview about balancing granularity & ability to make statistical conclusions & how you necessarily need to put disparate people into the same box sometimes.

I'm giving a practice quiz in algebra 2 today, and it's 3 pages, so I figured I could put the answer key (shrunk to fit on one page) on the back. But with 3 pages, there's still an empty quarter page left. So, I made it appear recursively. Lol #ITeachMath
I just heard my proposed talk for 2027 Joint Mathematics Meetings of American Institute of Mathematics (AIM, aimath.org) was accepted! I'll be sharing re: #mathCircle teaching like mine at Stanford & UNC for special session "Math Circles Everywhere: From Classrooms to Communities" #mtbos #iteachmath
When is the pedagogical community going to wake up to the fact that 2π is an utterly ridiculous way to express a turn?
Let's apply the same logic to magnitude:
let v = 1/2
then:
1 = 2v
2 = 4v
2/3 = 4v/3
1/3+2/3 = 2v/3+4v/3
Complicated and confusing.
Math is already stressful, so why not some more. :D
Here is a frantic walkthrough of Zombies mode for your amusement and rage.
