Thank YOU @amtnj for sharing about #HSmathresearch with more teachers! This is about helping students build lives with purpose through mathematics and developing habits that will bring success throughout life.

@jamestanton Thank you for sharing these exciting summer opportunities for mathematicians and college math majors!

Looking for an opportunity to bring your expertise and love of mathematics to the next generation of fabulous scholars-to-be? National Math Camps has some open positions for the summer! comeet.com/jobs/nationalm…

K-5 Teachers - this workshop is coming up next week!

@Faheem_uh This is valuable advice for anyone - even high schoolers!

PhD Students - How can you help your supervisors to give you the best supervision for your PhD? In a PhD program, supervisor-supervisee relationship is very important. Here are 10 things you can do on your part to get the best out of your PhD supervisors. 𝟏. 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐰, 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥: Instead of telling your supervisor what you have worked on, show him/her the progress. For example, instead of saying that I have read 5 papers, you should say here are the critical summaries and 5 takeaways from these 5 papers that I think are useful for my research in these ways. 𝟐. 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐲: If your supervisor criticizes you, actually he/she is not criticizing you but your work. This criticism is only for the purpose of improving your research and helping you to succeed. 𝟑. 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐞𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞𝐬: Send upfront the points about which you want to talk about in the meeting. Similarly, share what has been discussed in the meeting. It will only take around 10 minutes of your time. 𝟒. 𝐀𝐬𝐤, 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞: Do not assume outcomes from your supervisors. Instead, ask in a polite way. For example, do not assume that your supervisors will not allow you to apply for a research internship. Ask them. 𝟓. 𝐎𝐰𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐏𝐡𝐃: Your PhD is your project. After around 6 months, you are likely more expert on the topic than your supervisors. They are there to guide you through the process. 𝟔. 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦: Supervisors have many things on their plates. It's possible that their minds skip something. Give them a software reminder if they need to get back to you on something such as feedback on a paper. 𝟕. 𝐒𝐞𝐞𝐤 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐝𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤: Sending a paper draft to a supervisor one day before a submission deadline is a mistake on your end. Even if he/she provides the feedback, it might be shallow. Give them time. 𝟖. 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲: Communicate clearly to your supervisors about any obstacles you are facing and any expectations you have. They have the experience to guide you accordingly but first, they need to know. 𝟗. 𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐦𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬: If your supervisors have corrected you about something, try not to repeat it. It will give them the impression that you did not value their feedback. If you don't agree, discuss it with them. 𝟏𝟎. 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭, 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭: Doesn't matter how good or bad your relationship is with your supervisor, always respect them. I have hardly seen anyone successful who does not respect his/her teachers and supervisors. For more content like this, please subscribe my newsletter.

@cygarde @stevenstrogatz I also was thinking about it as a mapping.

@stevenstrogatz I think of it as mapping A to B, and I use the word "mapping." However, I have a lot of (similar) things in mind that I mentally translate quickly so that they resonate with the audience despite their background.

To or with? In the past few years, I've noticed a lot of math and CS people saying A is associated TO B, whereas normally in ordinary speech we would say A is associated WITH B. The meaning feels slightly different. Do any of you have comments about this?

@CCgirt @wearetrschools @unlv @JessicaKurtz1 @theodorewells @Hbelle88 @NationalMANRRS If there's a recording of your talk, I'd love to see it!

Representing @wearetrschools @unlv for the STEM Innovation Forum w @jessicakurtz1 sharing about building a K-Industry #STEM pipeline. Glad to see @theodorewells @Hbelle88 & Olga from @NationalMANRRS

@AaronParseghian Be careful, Aaron!

This is my St. Pete parking garage that I’ve been reporting from. Gusts are just too high to be out there. On top of that we’ve probably seen 4 inches of rain in the past hour

@CCgirt @NewJerseyDOE @ETSresearch @NJEA @NJPTA @njsba @SomersetCoNJDOE @NEAFoundation I see @dianecummins6 's smile in there too!

Today the @NewJerseyDOE had their State Board meeting honoring the 2025 NJ State Teacher of the Year Stefani Lachenauer. Thank you @ETSresearch & @NJEA for your continued support of the NJ State Teachers of the Year.

Love this! ✨ The Strogatz Prize encourages the kind of creative, out-of-the-box math thinking our world needs. Such a fantastic opportunity for students to shine! ☀️#HSmathresearch #creativity #innovation @MoMath

NJ PreK-5 educators - come hear @MandyMathEd speak at @AMTNJ! Her work on Rough Draft Thinking is 💯 for building the habits we want in HS math research. Can't wait to learn more about shifting focus to process & developing those critical thinking skills! #mathresearch

1️⃣ Exciting News! 🎉 AMTNJ is awarding 10 grants of up to $400 to support members attending our Fall Conferences! 🌟 Cover registration & mileage for our upcoming fall conferences! Don’t miss out! Apply: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI… #MathEd #AMTNJ #TeacherSupport

@DrTonyWagner 's Keynote at @PioneerScholar Summit - Nurture curiosity, play, intrinsic motivation, mistakes, failure, creativity, question journal, teacher outliers, risk! Thank you for amplifying this message! #curiosity #intrinsicmotivation #innovationleadership

@LieslMcconchie Looking fwd to learning from your workshop soon! Develpng intrinsic motivation is important, curiosity too. By the time Ss get to high school, this is lost! Adults use grades to control kids, but I'd rather teach Ss to pursue their curiosity & learn how to think critically.

PLEASE evaluate any reward systems you use in your classroom. Invest in yourself (and your students) by learning how to naturally motivate students by understanding the 🧠 science. I have an entire online workshop on this topic. grassrootsworkshops.com/workshops/how-…

Just when I thought I had seen it all ... stickers stamps trinkets tokens candy pizza parties donut parties extra points extra recess Last week I learned of a new way to bribe students into compliance: 💵CASH💵 (Technically, $5 gift cards to Amaz0n) Why this is a hard NO!🧵

@lizacope1234 @maanow @mdorff44 I loved the skyscrapers! I printed your puzzles and began playing.

August/September @maanow FOCUS. …gitaleditions.walsworthprintgroup.com/publication/?m… 👀pgs. 28-30, inspiring article by Hortensia Soto about working w/students & teachers on embodied mathematics explorations. 👀pg. 40, fun "Skyscrapers" by me. @mdorff44, thank you for the opportunity to share the puzzles 🧩!

@mathillustrated @kdykema @lizacope1234 @mdsteele47 And I'd say that the quick miss out on some beautiful math.

@sig225 I think you need to wash down the takis with some nutter butters.

The upside of duty is I get an afternoon treat. The downside is, I can't handle the heat, so after I eat one, I have to take a 5 min break.

I'm on Sunday Residential Duty today ... and the duty phone is an iPhone. I have no idea what I'm doing on this thing.

@CmonMattTHINK Is factor tree another way of saying prime factorization? I like showing all the prime factors so we can discuss the relationship between the index and the number of times something is a factor. For square rts, we look for pairs of factors, cube rts look for triplets, etc.,

In their math class, L&M (my 7th-grade twins) are working on simplifying radicals using factor trees. Why do we do this? Why not use an actual, widely-applicable property of radicals? Namely, √(ab) = √(a)√(b)? Convince me that factor trees are somehow better. #iteachmath

If this is true, I can think of a few @amtnj @PCTMpctm @AMTNYS @ATMNE_math and @ATMOPAV teachers who might be interested in knowing about this!

Hmm... What's this I'm hearing about a condensed #pcmiTLP experience in the works for later this summer? Could the "hiatus" soon be over? #iteachmath

Guess what we're doing tomorrow, @MrCorleyMath ... teacher.desmos.com/activitybuilde…

@mathyawp 13 and 17 are both 1 mod 4 primes (my fave), sums of square numbers...definitely something to be excited about!

Cicadas make prime numbers and GCD’s look cool. Swarms with 13 and 17 year life cycles will emerge this month in the Southeast U.S. in a rare confluence happening only every 221 years (13 x 17). Here’s why #cicadas have large prime number lifecycles: nature.com/scitable/blog/…
