Math enthusiast, teacher, writer, parent, lesbian. Covid-cautious. Wondering how we build community for collapse.
@suevanh.bsky.socialAnyone who works for USA Today will be pulling this dirty trick, apparently, since this seems to be USA Today policy.
@suevanh.bsky.social'even' isn't the right word there. Of course those close to him get stuck with his obnoxiousness.
@suevanh.bsky.socialI'm not sure they care. It's their rich donors they care about.
@suevanh.bsky.socialThis puzzle looked fun.
If I did my arithmetic right, I got 1751. I wonder if there's a higher score. (I don't know of a method to use. I did use a few strategies.)
@suevanh.bsky.socialCute! (I wonder if they could compete some way other than a fight?)
@suevanh.bsky.socialLeaders is not the right word. Rulers, perhaps?
@suevanh.bsky.socialAnd I just hit 70 two days ago.
@suevanh.bsky.socialThat's definitely beyond my lifetime. Hmm, I guess you're a young whippersnapper compared to me. (I think I'm 30 years older than you. Shocking.)
@suevanh.bsky.socialI always hated that the textbooks gave that mnemonic. There is no reason for it, and students try to memorize then, instead of understand.
@suevanh.bsky.socialA comma would have helped a bit. Knowing the Mem Fox book probably would have helped. I can imagine a math(s) sheep. But what is a play sheep? Or is play a verb here? (Yep, the word play was confusing here.) Sorry if my confusion was disappointing to you. Did Australians all get it right away?
@suevanh.bsky.socialMy absolute favorite part of writing this was reading David Butler's story, Maths Sheep Play Sheep, late last night. I was cackling... (@davidkbutler.bsky.social)
@suevanh.bsky.socialBlog post, out today in honor of Math Storytelling Day (and my birthday). Math stories rock!
@suevanh.bsky.socialOh, I'm sure I've shaken my butt at them many times for just that reason.
@suevanh.bsky.socialTomorrow is Math Storytelling Day. What's your story?
@suevanh.bsky.socialCracking me up...

@suevanh.bsky.socialThis will appear on Friday, September 25, National Math Storytelling Day.(naturalmath.com/math-storyte...)
9-25 is also headed towards being 9-to-5 day in honer of Dolly Parton. She sure loved spreading the joy of stories, and I can certainly imagine her delight at the idea of math stories.

@suevanh.bsky.socialI made a little thing in desmos, to play with while thinking about slopes of curves. I'm trying to make a little thing in desmos for each chapter of Althea and the Mysteries of Calculus.
Do you like it?
