Math education: making math cool with Vanessa Vakharia share.google/OtCLkfTaYhCFQN…

In the 1960s, Stanislaw Ulam, while doodling during a boring presentation, discovered a surprising pattern when he arranged numbers in a spiral and highlighted the primes. This spiral revealed a striking pattern and structure in the distribution of prime numbers. 📷visualizing math

Canada's math scores are declining. What can be done? share.google/FqR89HM8YRhhev…

Mathematics. We marvel at this strange equation for pi, but what does it really have to do with circles, circumference, and diameter?

Geometry, mathematics, reality. I found this puzzle in a Harry Houdini book. tinyurl.com/mfhvhwzr

@CTVNationalNews Good grief. Most of our friends are selling their US property and voting to never go back. No one wants to go there. Fix your politics, apologize for your orange leader insulting Canada and then you'll see tourism again.

There will never have been a transformation of a Country like the transformation that is happening, for all to see, in the United States of America. Companies are pouring into our Country at levels never seen before, with Jobs (and Money!) to follow. It is a beautiful thing to watch!

@walker_win43292 @Ladybugzz21 @hughhewitt No. Trump is trying to get what he can from the spoils of war. Just another looter and pillager. New US motto: Kick em when they're down. No longer a hero nation.

@Ladybugzz21 @hughhewitt Zelensky living in the past and thinks he can deal w/ America now the way he did under Biden far left radicals. Things MUCH different now. Trump is a master negotiator and understands stakes are high. Trump is trying to save Ukraine and world from WW3!

Everyone who wants to comment on today has to watch this entire tape and hopefully realize that at approximately the 38 minute mark President Zelensky asks a question of Vice President Vance which isn’t really a question. (My guess is that someone gave President Zelensky really terrible advice to not fight with President Trump in public but that he could score on the VP because the VP couldn’t respond. Wrong.) President Trump had been almost indulgent of President Zelensky for 38 minutes, trying to get to the post-presser meeting with a path forward to a ceasefire intact, aware that he has to deal with Putin afterwards as well. A couple of times President Zelensky dances on the cliff (especially with the pictures which someone who doesn’t know this business told him would be an excellent stunt and wasn’t) and President Trump steers it back to a path to the post-presser meeting. But then President Zelensky puts the VP on the spot and it escalated. Then President Zelensky tells President Trump how the United States would feel, and you can see our president give into a (justified) rising anger at President Zelensky’s approach and rhetoric, as did the VP. I have long supported Ukraine and still do. President Zelensky’s conduct has been heroic. But he is used to President Biden, Secretary Blinken and NSA Sullivan who did not have a plan or a purpose other than “de-escalation” which they assumed would stop escalation from Russia —which did not happen— and for whom every decision was agony. President Zelensky also did not remember that Ukraine didn’t lose the war (that President Biden told Putin would be fine if it was a “minor incursion”) because of weapons President Trump had sent in his first term. I don’t know how this gets back on track. I don’t know if the warrior Zelensky can actually make a deal. Putin has kidnapped tens of thousands of children, murdered thousands of his people and tens of thousands of his soldiers. Putin has committed war crimes. All of that is true. It is also true that Putin has thousands of nukes and NORKs. President Trump has a plan. He wasn’t in charge when Putin invaded Ukraine the first time or the second time. All President Trump can do is try and bring about a stable and enduring peace and get Ukraine enmeshed with Europe and the U.S. while also dealing with Putin. Nixon dealt with the worst murderer of the 20th century when he sat down with Mao. Reality is what it is. Presidents of the United States have to deal with whatever mess their predecessor leaves them. I’ll repeat what I said on the program today: President Zelensky should call all of his strongest supporters w/i the @SenateGOP and genuinely seek advice. And dismiss those who have been “advising” him for the past six weeks. Very publicly.
