Obama, Robin Williams, "Come on, Gallagher!"... all great @WTFpod episodes. But Wendell Pierce with a shoutout to trig proofs from @marcmaron's cat garage is one of my favourites. chrishunter.ca/2020/11/18/wtf…

Is every number that is not a square number the quotient of two triangular numbers?

🌿Online webinars by Janice Novakowski Explore practices that connect math learning with the outdoors. We’ll ask: ✅ How might mathematics be explored outdoors? ✅ How might place inspire mathematical thinking and enhance learning? 📌 Registration coming soon!

Next Tuesday, I'm hosting a free math webinar on "Building Coherence through Problem-Based Tasks, Conceptual Understanding, and Procedural Fluency." When: Tuesday, September 9, 2025 Times: 7:30 Eastern Time / 4:30 Pacific Time Registration link: info.gfletchy.com/buildingcohere…

My strategy was to decompose 132 as 100 and 32. The 32 jumped out as a multiple of 4.

Me too! Stated grades don't necessarily align with learning standards here in BC but the progression -- ideas, models, etc. that built on one another within and across grades -- stands.

ANDREW is back!

Numerical examples of "Completing the Square" in base ten can be a helpful stepping stone for some pupils. Bridging the gap between numbers and algebra. mathsbot.com/cpd

Don't forget about the 100+ free challenging tasks for secondary math teachers at map.mathshell.org/lessons.php. There are around 20 per grade level.

I remember learning about the associative property in school and remembered it was so boring, but it can help us with mental math!

The BCAMT Fall Conference kicks off with BCAMT Executive members Darcy House, Susan Robinson, Michelle Chu and Kevin Dent each making the case for one tool, model or strategy that can be used to open up mathematics for all K-12 learners. bcamt.ca/fall2025/
