Wrong doesn't mean worthless. Be mindful of how impactful trivial errors are to grades in rubrics. What are you actually looking to assess?

Yeah, so fuck @elonmusk and fuck his @Twitter. My last tweet here will be to mention that I've moved to @pi2infinity@mathstodon.xyz. Lang out.

@alittlestats @bowenkerins I would like to join this. May I ask for an invite?

@bowenkerins I've created an account on mathstodon.xyz along with many others in the math-y Twitter world.

Yeah, fuck this. Where am I supposed to go instead?

@sig225 My normal response when my partner says something similar to me: "I think you put it on amazon dot ca?"

Me (2021): I'll put these special batteries for the remote Christmas lights <here> so I can easily find them next year Me: (2022): Where the heck is <here>?!?!

@bowenkerins @CmonMattTHINK I learned this from you, Bowen. This absolutely is the way.

@CmonMattTHINK Make up fake names. Don't start using the real names until your damage is done

UPDATE: Still haven't figured this out

@MrJohnRowe This was a very satisfying problem to solve over pizza and soda while waiting for my professional development to begin at @MathforAmerica tonight. I guess if we’re showing our solutions in the thread, here’s mine:

Which is more shaded? #mtbos #iteachmath

@cluzniak 1) Fielding more podcast debate topics? 😊 2) Test retake (with different numbers, etc) that completely replaces the first test’s grade. This happens iff test corrections have been submitted. Don’t waste anyone’s time going from 40% to 55%. Get >80% or wait until you’re ready.

What do you think could be more beneficial for students after a test: test corrections or a test retake?

@bowenkerins @bowmanimal My brain unnervingly pronounced that with a voice at the midpoint between Borat and Strong Bad.

@bowmanimal This is a Voronais idea!

@untilnextstop @MathClubPodcast “…but why don’t we consider the square a rectangle? Because my geometry teacher told me squares are rectangles!”

Alright #MTBoS and math teachers of the world: A student (you pick the grade level) asks you why we don't consider the number 1 to be prime. What do you tell them? I'd love to hear your answer and the grade level you're imagining. READY! GO!

@bowenkerins I used to challenge myself to solve everything with as much concatenation as possible but that wasn’t fun for long. Now I try to solve with the numerals appearing in numeric order. Today’s felt trivial, but with yesterday’s (pictured here) makes two in a row for me now!

@bio_britt I mean, you can threaten to move out. I did a few years ago and my landlord lowered the rent to entice me to stay because I was considered a excellent tenant by their standards and they didn’t know who my replacement might be. If you’ve got that leverage, go for it?

@bio_britt Nope.

@bio_britt Recognizing your depression and anxiety might be one step towards feeling like you are not liking at yourself through the same lens as everyone else, and that there’s plenty of right with you that everyone except you can do clearly see. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Random muse: what parts of HS math are really important for future careers? What could we cut? What should we emphasize?

@SgtRando @FPWellman Air Force field training in 2003: Friday evenings gave everyone an extra hour to write letters, shine shoes, bond, and relax before lights out (incidentally during Jewish services). Sunday was for focused dorm cleanings— but cadets could go to church instead. Almost 20yrs later…

@FPWellman JFC again?

@Military_Dollar This is nicely wholesome. Thanks for breaking up my doomscrolling.

I would like a hedgehog, a puppy, and 3 days off work.
