Animaris Rex is an 18-metre-long walking 'beach animal' propelled by the wind, created by Theo Jansen as a fusion of art and engineering.

A lot of people don't realize how/why math and other STEM endeavors are social constructs. That's good news, given the times! All that AI will push a whole lot of people to finally, FINALLY see math as a social construct. Ironic, but here we are. ๐Ÿ˜…

thereโ€™s no such thing as a lesson plan, only lesson hopes and dreams

What do we need? More slack in every system and process. When do we need it? Yesterday!

already posted code, but here is today's #mathober doodle for inellipse:

#mathart #fungus #pnw #inellipse

a crescent-waning moon sits in a burn forest silhouette with a triangle shadow of leaning trees at the main center. Within the triangle the underneath of a chip cherry mushroom makes an ellipse just touching the triangle edges creating an inellipse. there are highlights where moisture catches the moonlight. A small banana slug moves in the shadows up a tree

Condolences to us. Yet I feel strangely validated in a decision made ~30 years ago, heavily focusing on inventive math with students. We make art, conjecture, do some creative world-building, model, write stories: all that math-making that feels and is different from math-solving. #iTeachMath

To the person noting there is not enough money in the world to license every piece of intellectual property stolen for "AI" training: you're sooooo close to the point, friend, keep going, you'll get there if you try

Change email addresses every Monday. If people don't get back to you in a week, do they even care? ๐Ÿ˜…

Journals are so twentieth century. Oral tradition is the future!

posing problems, modeling, etc. 2. We avoid any public-facing AI-generated content in any format, such as text, code, sound, or video. (2/2)

I started to get those too, enough to write a canned response: Thank you for building and sharing your tool. This is off-topic for Natural Math for two related reasons: 1. We help students explore all 60+ subject areas of mathematics as math makers: conjecturing, making art, storytelling, (1/2)

As someone who sometimes has to teach that idea from scratch to some much older kids, in large groups, who go all Surprised Pikachu at the very concept - THANK YOU.

Will that disrupt succession and generational continuity, since students will have fewer opportunities to enter the system?

Big Pen doesn't want you to know this, but you can refill Pilot Varsity with something pretty like Noodler's.

Tell them to go ask the bot to provide the answers too, for preference outside of the room. ๐Ÿคก

@ravensburgertcg.bsky.social discontinued Chocolate Fix by ThinkFun, the lovely puzzle maker which they bought and are now apparently neglecting. Boo! ๐Ÿ˜ฟ Happy sailing to all the pirates ๐Ÿดโ€โ˜ ๏ธ - you know what to do. #iTeachMath

Chocolate Fix, a sweet logic game now unavailable.
