Unbridled Math Joy

Joining in on the #bluesky frenzy

@jamestanton You should come over to BlueSky James!

A smooth closed planar curve. Is it always possible to find three points on the curve that make an equilateral triangle?

My heart is full today—full of gratitude for the trust you have placed in me, full of love for our country, and full of resolve.

If you are voting for her, or already voted, drop a 💙.

If you aren't a mathematician, name 5 living mathematicians

Happy Global Math Week 2024 !! Enjoy the Day #2 Exploding Dots Puzzle @jamestanton @GlobalMathProj

@TheMathGuru @joboaler @CorwinPress @strugglymath @HarperCollins @youcubed @NCTM I’m with you that ish-ing can be a good thing. But for 280/9 to see that in your mind’s eye as 28 dots next to zero dots. And boom I see 3 groups of 9 with one dot left over. Unexplode that into ten dots. So we have 31 plus one 1 dot still waiting to be divided by 9. 31+1/9 it is

Can’t say enough about @joboaler’s new work on number sense through “ish-ing.” When students hear “estimate,” they think “ugh a new procedure”🤮 When they hear “what’s the answer-ish,” they feel free to tap into their mathematical intu-ish-ion:) Obsessed! Get her book! #mathish

@Anthony_Bonato I can’t get down with that notation

Mathematicians: we introduce notation to simplify complex ideas Also mathematicians: 5!! < 5!

@RpsAgainstTrump It was my first rally and was Amazing

WOW. Check out the huge Harris rally in Madison Wisconsin tonight.

@EdKrassen My first time attending a rally, and it was amazing and electric 🙌🏽

This is Kamala Harris' rally in the swing state of Wisconsin. Trump will tell you it's not real. But it is.

It was amazing to be there and be a part this enormous ovation

@Anthony_Bonato Oops, I read that as Mathematics is…

@Anthony_Bonato the portal to the playground of the soul

Finish this sentence: Mathematics isn't...

@WRoberts3 @StudyMaths Yes! That has been said by the great James Tanton

Before you blindly rearrange, factorise then solve, it might be better to slow down and ask yourself: "What do you notice?" mathsbot.com/cpd

@Anthony_Bonato Yes!!!🙌🏽

Taylor Swift has now endorsed Kamala Harris for president. So here is a thread of Taylor as functions. y = -x

@Mathgarden I’ve been using JT’s quote “Mathematics is the portal to the playground of the soul” in my email signature for a while. I think I might use this from you to switch it up… 😎

An oldie but a goodie...
