@mathgeek76 Think about contextual applications of linear relationships - y=mx+b is useful if you have a starting and one rate. Ax+By=C is useful when you have two rates and a total.

If linear functions are just first degree polynomials, then why is the standard form for lines different from standard forms for higher degree polynomials?
Why do we care about Ax + By = C? And why are we spending hours and hours of math class teaching it?
Asking for a friend.

You can do that in pear deck oh yeah! You’re so helpful thank you. I’m doing staff trivia and sometimes it’s hard for them to hear me read the question and there’s no projector. So this way they can have the question in their phone as we go along!

Software Q: Is anyone aware of a slide style web based program that can have audience members open the presentation on their own devices but the pace of the presentation is controlled by the host? #presentation #slides #techquestion #edutech

Ontario ranks high in math thanks to educators making learning not just about the fundamentals, but also rich problems that get students to think & use tools, because PISA questions aren't "basic." Here's a short 🧵 of some doozies. Let's start with a SPREADSHEET?!?! 🤯

@StacieOliver100 @JasonHimsl @MrsHackett305 @ELANontario Thanks for the shout out!
You are doing amazing things.
The key to a good tracker is making something that works for you and your course and it takes play!

This is amazing!
Negative numbers as opposites should be introduced as early as positive numbers. It is intuitive to kids if you introduce them together! #TVDSBMath #Math #Negativenumbers #Zeropairs
Thank you for sharing.

I’ve never understood why we hide negative numbers from kids for so long. Here’s my 5yo exploring negative numbers. (Treasure chest represent positive #s; robber represents negative #s) He instinctively made zero pairs. Let the kids explore!

@DavidKButlerUoA When I first looked at this I thought the punchline was going to a student submitted this after using some AI to answer their grade ten question and jsut copied it verbatim without any care for understanding.

@coleiroscience @NotreDameHCDSB This sounds amazing. We have a business science dual credit program called LABS. I can’t wait to hear more about yours.

In September 2024, @NotreDameHCDSB will introduce a STEAM Interdisciplinary Program exclusively for our Grade 9 students. We can’t wait to see students unleash their creativity, curiosity, and innovation in this holistic learning experience. 🌍

Such an engaging framework for practice!

Tried something new with #MFM2P today! We had an equation auction (idea from @mathequalslove). Started with a clip of a Survivor auction to set the mood. It was fun and productive, I’d definitely do this type of activity again. One lot went for $700 after a bidding war 😅

One of my favourite math challenges - 4 cards, using BEDMAS try and make the numbers 1-30 - you want to see who has resilience and stamina when faced with a challenge try this challenge! Impressive work @CaradocPS #tvdsbmath #tvdsb
