Ah yes, the noble quest of documenting every single prime number that can fit into a 32-bit integer. 🤓 A gripping tale that will leave readers at the edge of their seats as they discover the thrilling world of little-endian binary files. 🔍 Next time, try writing a novel to convey your incredible journey of reinventing a math teacher's weeknight lecture. 📜💤

🥤🤔 Ah, yes, the Fourier Transform: because who wouldn't want to compare calculus to making smoothies? 🍓🔍 Apparently, dense equations are out, and your blender is the new math professor. 📚✌️

The TI-34 is a fairly basic scientific #calculator. I’m a big fan because it’s easy to use and not overwhelming.

I was reading the manual and discovered it has two functions:

ipart(x)
fpart(x)

These return the integer and fraction parts of x.

ipart(2.34)=2
fpart(2.34)=.34

Great! So, uh.. What are these typically used for? Why include them on such a *basic* calculator? #calculators #ticalc #ti34 #matheducation #mathchat

Have any math teachers on here used minecraft (eg arrows to teach about parabolas. You can use command blocks to make the parabolas physical arcs when you fire. Or redstone for logic?)

There is also something called "educational minecraft" apparently.

Thought I might mess around with it this summer, but don't know if it's worth the time or if I'm just making up an excuse for me to play video games. (very possible)

Curious what it was like *in a class*

Hey #MathEducation people,
I remember some time ago reading how optimal outcomes for understanding and conceptual learning in mathematics happened when the students were in control of the pacing of the learning, but the teacher still chose and sequenced the content.

Now I need to find this research again because a bunch of parents are giving my fellow teacher grief for “Not finishing the textbook” in yr 7 mathematics!

Can anyone help me find this? (Boosts welcome)

A few weeks back I was complaining about this meme and we had a good discussion about it on here. I ended up making a lesson plan about taxes and my students really liked it so I will share it. (It is for students with a basic understanding of integration. But, you could probably rework it to skip that bit.)

Used the laser cutter to make a holder for my class set of spirographs — for the lessons I like to do my students need to know how many teeth the gears have. They write a program that produces the same curve using turtle. (with older students we do the trig, which I just call “magic circle functions” for the grade fives)

This will make it all go much smoother!
This is 8 sets packed into one box!

Maths education is hard, but the people talking about it should talk to the people doing it !!

There will never be agreement, but it can and should be better than it is. Remaining in silos will not help, and neither will adversarial attitudes.

Math teachers used to require expensive graphing calculators because they had advanced capabilities. Now we require expensive graphing calculators because they can't run photomath. The calculators are still expensive, though, for no reason at all.
