Ugh! The AI tutor called reciprocals opposites. Later if we tell the student that 4 and -4 are opposites by the AI definition here 4 and -4 are reciprocals.

This will be an amazing conference. One of the keynote speakers will be @eluberoff.bsky.social.

Was the root square?

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing. Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.

They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.

The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

20x20 is 400, but that is one 20 too many. So, 380.

10x6 plus 5x6 is 60 plus 30 or 90. Then divide by 10 because it was 6 tenths and not 6 that we really want to use. So, 9 is the answer.

High school geometry. For great problems, there are so many approaches. I’m not talking about parallel lines and write an equation to solve for x. Ick.

Inside the push for dietary guidance on ultraprocessed foods — and why it’s failing right now | CNN Federal guidance on the pitfalls of ultraprocessed foods, which likely play a key role in the US obesity epidemic, isn’t yet available. Here’s what’s at stake.

Here’s an experiment for my #APStats friends on ultra-processed food. #mtbos #iteachmath www.cnn.com/2024/11/22/h...

So excited to see items I have created being used in new ways. I created this to use in a college intro stats class. We did it as a Stand and Talk which I learned about at NCTM Annual 2018 with @saravanderwerf.bsky.social

I had my college students choose two and then describe why they read them and what they learned. They need to understand that all students can be math students.

#MTBoS This is a great resource to help all students see themselves as mathematicians. Very powerful stories. maa.org/wp-content/u...
