First day with students tomorrow!

Is this a dream

@MrsSheehanMath Woah those phones will be secure! Seems like that might increase buy-in on using the holders

Stopped by my classroom today to drop off supplies + refill my supply bin, and got to see our new cell phone holders for the first time 😁

@MrsSheehanMath I’ll let you know if we make it up there! 😅

@hypertrig Next you should check out Milwaukee! Another great place on a Great Lake 😃

A1: Paige from Milwaukee. I'm currently in MI at my husband's family cottage enjoying a week of beaching, reading, and general relaxation before the craziness of the new school year! #NecessaryConditionsChat

@MrsSheehanMath That sounds wonderful! We were in the UP near Lake Superior. Have the best time!

@hypertrig Plus it's a 7 minute walk to the beach on the shores of Lake Michigan!!

@GotMathHelp It looks like they’re at least allowed in the AP, not sure about the others

I'm hearing about the Numworks graphing calculator for the first time and wondering if it's worth a try. They send free devices to teachers

@kathyhen_ @Mathowitz @MrsSheehanMath I think they coordinate with dept chairs to send free ones. I haven’t started that process yet so I could be wrong 😅

@Mathowitz @MrsSheehanMath I hear it’s easier to find exact coordinates of max/min, intercepts, etc than on the TIs

Question for #iteachmath: when sharing planning with colleagues for common courses, do you share a detailed daily plan, or everyone teaches the agreed upon topic for the day using possibly various resources/activities?

@GotMathHelp I haven’t worked too much with it but it could be a way to check work, like a more tech-y Photomath

Huh, turns out the spinning mechanism for this cube was fixed and reinstalled today. It's a good example of a solid of revolution (or is it?) abc7ny.com/cube-astor-pla…

@kathyhen_ A city with strong character! Moved away from Philly two years ago and still miss it

@CmonMattTHINK Does this book not define the set of outputs of a function as a separate term?

Getting a head start on my textbook critiquing. Is this really a common usage of the word "domain"? I've never used it as anything other than something that functions have. Do both functions AND variables have domains? That overloading just seems to be MADE for S confusion.

@Mathowitz As much as I'm wary of FB products I'm ready to check out Threads instead of the bird app
