(2/2)...becomes worth every single moment when their face lights up and they run over to hug you and say "I can't believe you came to my graduation!" The laughter, tears, and joy of that celebration reminds us why we keep on teaching.

(1/2) All the struggles, the frustration, the "don't give up" (not just to them but ourselves sometimes), the parent phones calls and meetings, the late nights grading, the after-school extra math help, and "when will I need this in real life?"....

PEMDAS is trending again so I have no choice but to post this.

This is a great example of why the world of math and engineering needs diversity in order for society to progress. Math is more than "being a nerd", it's about identifying and solving real-world problems, and different perspectives to bring innovation. nytimes.com/2023/03/03/spo…

@Mathgarden I teach why!

Both my kids’ high school teachers are teaching “cross-multiplication “, and of course not showing why you can do it. 🙈

@MuhlJuniorHigh That's my student!! Go Nicole!

The Muhlen-bird is back! And not just one this year...there are THREE! (one flew away before I took the picture, but came back later) I had to TWEET about it :-P

@ddmeyer top left: systems of equations (given a number of blocks that must be used, x+y=___, then 3x+2y=25) right: systems of equations, different rates/starting values bottom left: adding/subtracting integers right....ummm total weight of fish, some kind of equivalent values problems?

Our Algebra 1 curriculum is shipped and I can't quit playing with these interactives. If you can guess the math topic we're teaching using our snails, lizards, sheep, and fish, you win a free trial! (The rest of you win one too.) amplify.com/desmosmath

@Math_World_ The vertex marked on the square is where x=y, since it's also a point on the line y=-3x+12 then it occurs at the solution to x=-3x+12. That's x=3, thus the square has side length of 3, and area of 9. I like this problem! I might use it as a warm-up challenge!

Math for everyone; Question of the day 20.02.2023 What is the area of the square?

Oof, hard hitting message but true! And sometimes it's easy to overlook the needs of quiet students, but they sometimes need the most care.

@MuhlsAthletics @BCIAASports Oh I remember Frankie from 9th grade! Way to go!!

Congratulations to Andrew Long (5th) and Frankie Kelly (1st) who will both be moving onto the @BCIAASports Individual Bowling Finals!! Fantastic achievement!!

Hey @BurgerKing ....is there anyway I could request one of those "221,184 ways to order a Whopper" posters for my classroom? I teach math and I'd love to use it for an example of calculating combinations....and free advertising for you so that's a fair trade, right? :-)

L.R. Knost is always spot on with parenting lessons but even things meant for young children are true for teenagers as well. I find that with some students "ask instead of demand" can go a long way, sometimes it's hard to remember when things get frustrating, but we all try.

This is so cool. I want to build this to put in the classroom!

@howie_hua Personally prefer in pen. I do encourage students to use pencils though but I don't prevent them from using pens since I have my own bias to prefer it. My thought is I'd rather evaluate and correct errors than erase and hide them.

I don't mean to start any drama or anything but do you prefer doing math in pen or in pencil?

@TICalculators Okay well now you just need a logo redesign....it should be a TI-Nsπre!
