Flown over to Bluesky. Hope to see you there. @SherriBurroughs.bsky.social

Did you know that a group of mathematicians/number fans are making a collaborative playlist in an attempt to say all 41m digits of the newly-discovered Mersenne prime? Can humans say the largest prime number before we find the next one? Get involved at saytheprime.com

How can we visually show why something like sqrt(90)=3sqrt(10)? Rewriting square roots can be seen visually! (I know the title doesn't sound appealing but I honestly really like the concept lol)

I'm really excited about this! Check it out and please share feedback, suggestions, examples, and more. And me sure to read the info page at polypad.amplify.com/lesson/wodb

Just received a great suggestion from teacher Jen U. to make our #PrimeClimb color chart available with no guidelines to tell you how many factors each number has. She also adapted it! Now both versions are available at mathforlove.com/lesson/prime-c… #iteachmath #mtbos

Imagine that each one of these people could be returned to our world today, with another healthy and energetic 15 years of life. Which one would have the greatest contribution to mathematics or to humanity?

Playing a bit of offline @NumberHive with my son this evening (tried both multiplication and addition). A nice addition to the online app. #ITeachMath

@SBurroughsEdu @MBMAMT @macintoshmaggie A real shame that @MBGov is being short sighted by closing a successful and needed day and after school program.
