Mathtastic!

A little summer fun...

Laugh for today...

Great find Annie!

Did you know MN's own Ben Orlin made 'Math With Bad Drawing' styled images for the 8 Mathematical Practices (thanks to @mctm_mn )? He also added texts to each. You can find MN versions of his work and how to use them to unpack standards HERE: drive.google.com/drive/u/1/fo... #iteachmath #mathstoday

For the Love of Math and Students 💌 Mathy Valentine's Day Ideas!

So much wrong in the world, it feels weird to just post about holiday themed math. But, bringing joy to kids that need us can be resistance. ❤️

So, another holiday, another list of activities for math class.
Here’s some ideas for Valentine’s Day
