  1. 🎉 Ah, yes, another "unsung hero" of the #Internet, because clearly, we've run out of men to credit. Let's all gather 'round and marvel at how a math teacher's summer hobby is now responsible for your cat memes and #TikTok dances. 📱👩‍💻

  2. 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*

  3. This is a #FediHire post, but it's not about technology, so I don't know how helpful the fediverse will be.

    I have a PHD in math and nine years of experience teaching university students. I want to leave higher education and become a high school math teacher, but I am not certified.

    I'm in the U.S. and have no easy way to leave. I also can't go four years without an income or health insurance.

    What states would be the easiest for me to get at least provisionally certified to teach in?

    Also keep in mind that I'm trans, so I am only willing to move to a state where it's legal for me to interact with teenagers and get health care.

  4. @alfiekohn Nice to see this spelled out:

    "Many math teachers will say a community of learners like Wees describes is a fairytale classroom with no time constraints and no standards to cover. They say their jobs depend on covering all the topics on the test and helping students correct their errors, not taking days to uncover the thinking behind that error. Wees acknowledges the limitations that many math teachers struggle with, but points out the way most people teach math now doesn’t work, so it could be considered a waste of time anyway."

  5. I'm here and not on the other place. I'm a mathematics teacher who focuses on using math to uncover power relationships in our country and world. I teach high schoolers but my opinions on here are my own and do not reflect my employer. I will share interesting insights that are accessible to people who still remember how to do algebra whenever possible. #mathteacher #math #teaching #education #economics #finance #highschool #tech #AI #algorithmicjustice #inequality #equity #boardgames #strategy

  6. Our Hidden Figures curriculum guide highlights the determination and accomplishments of Katherine Johnson and her groundbreaking colleagues Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson. Including a lesson on the math of calculating orbits for space travel, inspired by Katherine Johnson's work!

  7. #OTD in 1897, the first International Congress of Mathematicians was held in Zürich, Switzerland. The congress even included four women!

    That makes today a great time to point out that we have film-based lesson plans for math classes. — Yes, you can teach math with film!

    Get our free, classroom-ready lesson plans to teach math with films like Hidden Figures (the math of space travel), Like Stars on Earth (the math of determining your grade), Whale Rider (Fermi problems) and more.

    Get students of all genders excited about math. Learn more: journeysinfilm.org/articles/te

    Like all our resources, our math lessons are free for everyone.

  8. What is algebra? The question came up in a panel discussion at a #MathTeacher event recently. This is the answer I alluded to but didn't have time to elaborate. New #MAA blogpost mathvalues.squarespace.com/mas

  9. Did you know you can teach mathematics with film? For #CasualPiDay we're highlighting our film guides featuring classroom-ready math lessons for films like Children of Hidden Figures, Like Stars On Earth, Whale Rider and more.

  16. There is often confusion between what is a model and what is a strategy. Representations DO NOT = strategies.
