NYC Community of Adult Math Instructors

In CAMI, we believe in the power of adult education teachers doing math together, making deep connections between our own learning and our teaching. We invite math teachers to join our group and be part of this ongoing opportunity for collaboration and mathematical learning.

Check out this Happy Numbers Explorer, created by @MathSarahLL, for investigating happy numbers & the melancoil! (If you know, you know & if you don't... join the party! adultnumeracynetwork.org/resources/Happ… Inspired by the March @nyc_cami meeting (nyccami.org/happy-numbers/) #ANNMath #MTBoS

We just posted the notes from our shadow math meeting - thank you to @v00121 and Gina for shaping their curiosity into an invitation for the rest of us. nyccami.org/?p=4807 #ANNMath #mathteacherscircle #MTBoS #AdultEdu

Are you attending @COABEHQ 2023 (in person or virtually)? If so, you are cordially invited to join @eappleton & I for the Community of Adult Math Instructors (@nyc_cami) #mathteacherscircle session on 4/4 at 2pm. We'll be exploring the art & mathematics of Celtic knots. #AdultEdu

Super fun @nyc_cami meeting tonight! I love this pattern generated by @MathSarahLL & @eappleton's brilliant What Comes Next app (adultnumeracynetwork.org/What-Comes-Next): 4, 5, 9, 16, 26, 39, 55, 74, 96, 121, 149... I took a shot at turning it into a visual pattern. #ANNMath #AdultEdu #MTBoS

@Maryamization @benjamindickman Our math teachers’ circle has been going for about eight years and we post a write up with each month’s activities with materials and photos of teachers’ work on our website. nyccami.org

Friends who have hosted #MathCircle before, tell me about your favorite lessons. Some adults in my apartment building have expressed interest in a "Math with Maryam" event 😝 and I'm interested in hosting one but I am not exactly sure where to begin. Please read on for specifics.

TY @howie_hua for facilitating summer math! Loved collaborating and playing with puzzles from @aap03102 today. Perfect material to take on a #mathwalk! youtu.be/OwNDxh8eoYc #sandiegomath #sidewalkmath #MTBoS #iteachmath bit.ly/mathwalks2021

@MarkChubb3 Yes! The Melancoil! I first learned about it through exploring with the #nyccami math teachers circle. nyccami.org/happy-numbers-…

Thanks to @MathSarahLL for yesterday's #nyccami meeting - two hours of problem-posing with her slow reveal of ring a ding numeration. This is the representation of 44. The link lets you enter any number. Happy exploring! math.smith.edu/~jhenle/Ringad… #MathTeachersCircle #ANNMath

Thank you to Cindy Aossey for yesterday’s #nyccami meeting exploring that image of numbers factored into groups of circles. Drawing a multiplication table to play with different representations was an incredibly satisfying rainy day activity. #ANNMath

@howie_hua So grateful that with our monthly math teachers circle (@nyc_cami) gone virtual, I actually get to be in math class of #AdultEdu heroes like @v00121 @MathSarahLL @tuesday_october @eappleton @brown_maggib33 #ANNMath

Join us for the 27th #ANNMath Teaching & Learning Institute on March 19th, 12:30-3:30 CST! This year's theme is Experiencing Harmony & Beauty in Mathematical Patterns. The institute is a pre-conference session at the @COABEHQ. #AdultEdu Register here coabe.org/2021-coabe-nat…

Check out a new game on the #ANNMath website - Guess My Rule! by @MathSarahLL & @eappleton adultnumeracynetwork.org/resources/func…

A few months ago, @MathSarahLL led us through an exploration of Voronoi diagrams. Check out this @Desmos activity, created by @joelbezaire which shows how Voronoi diagrams can be used to identify food deserts. teacher.desmos.com/activitybuilde…

The incredible Maggie Brown began this afternoon's #nyccami meeting with these 4 images, opening up the problem posing in an exploration of quilts & tiling patterns. #MathTeachersCircle #NoticeWonder

Heard during tonight's #mathteacherscircle: In setting norms: "We learn new ways to listen to each other" While preparing to come back from group work: "A hallmark of a good CAMI meeting after 1 hr 40min, I'm just now understanding our question." #NYCCAMI #ANNMath #problemposing

It’s not a new idea to me but this kind of doing math with other grownups with nary a “problem” in sight is so exhilarating and joyful. Shout out to @JRMathFestivals and @nyc_cami for this simple and profound activity. #MTBoS #ANNMath #ITeachMath

@ddmeyer Having a math notebook, math teachers’ circle (@nyc_cami), the day of doing math at the Adult Numeracy Network conference (#ANNmath), folks like @eappleton @benjamindickman & @MathSarahLL who are wicked smart & super generous & whose questions often occupy my imagination for days

At tonight’s @nyc_cami meeting, we explored spirographs with Usha Kotelawala. #mathteacherscircle #iteachmath #adultedu
