@Math_files I’d rather promote understanding

Speed up the Multiplication with this trick

In order to be born, you needed: 2 parents 4 grandparents 8 great-grandparents 16 second great-grandparents 32 third great-grandparents 64 fourth great-grandparents 128 fifth great-grandparents 256 sixth great-grandparents 512 seventh great-grandparents 1,024 eighth great grandparents 2,048 ninth great-grandparents For you to be born today from 12 previous generations, you needed a total of 4,094 ancestors over the last 400 years. Think for a moment: How many struggles? How many battles? How many difficulties? How much sadness? How much happiness? How many love stories? How many expressions of hope for the future? – did your ancestors have to undergo for you to exist in this present moment...

@pwharris 100 only multiple of 10 25 only odd 144 only one divisible by 9 48 only non square

#TryThisTuesday If one doesn't belong, how are the other three related? Do it for each quadrant! #MathIsFigureOutAble #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd

@billdavidsoniii I think that’s true of most transition events in schools.

Unofficial data after observing elementary math lessons for 18 years... ...Most math class periods begin with about 5 minutes of dead time - e.g. distributing materials, unaimed conversations, fiddling with an interactive whiteboard, etc.

@WashTimes Well Biden administration didn’t make a habit of shooting American citizens

Trump’s first three Cabinet meetings feature more press questions and answers than all of Biden’s

@RepFine @WhiteHouse Who appointed you a judge?

@WhiteHouse Don Lemon can continue his fake news reporting from behind bars. It’s time he gets locked up.

When life gives you lemons... ⛓️

@WhiteHouse How unserious is this administration?

@pwharris 12 only one not a multiple of 5 20 only one who’s digits add to 2 30 only one that’s a multiple of 15 25 only one that’s a square

#TryThisTuesday It's a WODB for the date! Find a reason that each number is unique and doesn't belong. #MathIsFigureOutAble #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd

@duanehabecker Ok this one has me stumped. I keep getting 117 5/7

It's time for your #TapeDiagramTuesday extra challenge! Model your solution strategy with a tape diagram. Then share it with the community! #iTeachMath

@howie_hua Always use the algorithm

Make a math teacher cry in 4 words.

@duanehabecker Although it could be bananas to cherries😎

@duanehabecker I guess the second bullet is “the ratio of bananas to apples is 1:4”???

@pwharris Always

#TryThisTuesday My favorite way to play Which One Doesn't Belong is to choose a reason for each one to not belong. What are you thinking? #MathIsFigureOutAble #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd

@pwharris Double and half. 3 *22

Love the halfway between strategy Julia! What do the rest of you think about it? #MathIsFigureOutAble #MathStratChat #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathEd

@MikeBrannonX @atrupar @grok But prices are up. Is that true?

@atrupar American workers currently have MORE purchasing power today than in 2024. Prices, relative to wages, have gone down. Fact check me @grok

SORKIN: The question is whether you think tariffs are helping affordability EMMER: I think Trump has been winning on the tariffs SORKIN: Winning in terms of the price Americans are paying for goods? EMMER: Donald Trump and his administration have driven down costs on groceries [this is a lie]

Which calculation is the easiest? A great prompt to generate intrigue and mathematical discussion. mathsbot.com/cpd

@RedEagleUpdates What kind of proof?

🚨BREAKING: Speaker Mike Johnson announces House GOP will introduce bill requiring voters to prove US citizenship. Do you support this bill? A. YES B. NO

Important questions to ask when teaching the order of operations, but why? Any more to add to the list? mathsbot.com/tasks #1001MathsBots #1001MathsBots
