@KatinaPZ59 @MathsNSW @aamtinc @NCTM Interesting 🤔 they hold the bikes in better.

@MareeASkillen @MathsNSW @aamtinc @NCTM Why??

Mathematics is everywhere. Hanging triangles at The Hoodoos, Banff. What questions could be asked? #mathsedau #learning ⁦@MathsNSW⁩ ⁦@aamtinc⁩ ⁦@NCTM⁩

Fascinating network problem in Calgary city centre. Walkways interconnect buildings from second floor. All stores and services are inside. Foot traffic low on outside streets. Busy inside. #mathsedau #aamtontour ⁦@aamtinc⁩ ⁦@MathsNSW⁩

That’s a wrap on #aamtontour Full day of school visits in Calgary. Thank you to all who opened their classroom doors and shared their passion for #teaching #mathematics #mathsedau ⁦@aamtinc⁩

Looking up. What #mathematics questions could I ask using this as stimulus? #aamtontour #mathsedau ⁦@aamtinc⁩ ⁦@MathsNSW⁩ ⁦@nrichmaths⁩

Hanging numbers. What questions could I ask? #mathsedau #aamtontour ⁦@aamtinc⁩ ⁦@MathsNSW⁩ ⁦@NCTM⁩ #teaching #learning #mathematics #numbers

I’ve found some new stimulus to write interesting, authentic, real-world problems. Oops. Just realised I forgot to purchase my pumpkin 🎃 carving kit. #mathsedau #aamtontour ⁦@aamtinc⁩ ⁦@MathsNSW⁩ ⁦@NCTM⁩ #mathematics #learning #teaching

Where stories come together. ‘Cultural Connection’ for Orange Shirt Day at The Confluence. Reconciliation and decolonisation. First Nations. Indigenous art and recognition. #aamtontour #mathsedau ⁦@aamtinc⁩

@jarradstrain @aamtinc @howie_hua Being challenged to think 🤔 @jarradstrain Lots to reflect on too and see how can implement.

@MareeASkillen @aamtinc I love @howie_hua! Such a genuine and enthusiastic educator! Looks like you are having a ball!

‘Mathletes Assemble’ for the final #NCTMCHI24 keynote given by Howie Hua. Hard to snap a selfie when the person ran wildly around the auditorium seeking audience participation. I waved my hand, represented #aamtontour #mathsedau ⁦@aamtinc⁩ to give him an answer!!

‘Cafe Culture’ with coffee pouring in action. Never seen a place like this before with 5 levels of dedicated coffee tasting, brewing, buying and fresh baked buns. Yum. Amazing spiral 🌀 incline up, reminding me of the Golden Ratio. #aamtontour #mathsedau ⁦@aamtinc⁩

Rain, wind, sun, and back to the start for repeat. It’s been a good week at #NCTMCHI24 in Chicago and I’ve met so many amazing people and passionate #mathematics educators. Feeling inspired. @aamtinc @NCTM #aamtontour #mathsedau

The ‘ish’ version of maths! @jgough @joboaler @aamtinc @NCTM #NCTMCHI24 #aamtontour #mathsedau

Great session. Good way to start Saturday morning! Thank you @lisaligdavis @tayloredu1 #aamtontour #mathsedau @aamtinc #NCTMCHI24 @NCTM
