I verbally model this for students long enough until they start to believe it.
Saying โ€˜we can do hard thingsโ€™.
Designing tasks that have natural progression and increase in complexity.
Being there with an helpful push/question, or better yet highlight a successful student to help them.

#mathstoday I am presenting optimization using a MathMedic lesson involving LaCroix cans. Iโ€™m also using a well-loved Desmos activity I created on rational functions. #iteachmath #MTBoS

I like this idea! Iโ€™m doing one of those well-loved Desmos activities today๐Ÿคฃ.
I post answers to problem sets at the same time I assign the work. Giving students access to answers on a regular basis is very helpful for them. I donโ€™t need to be the โ€˜gate-keeperโ€™ of answers esp w AI solvers available.

My math teacher friends! Fun stuff to share with students on Monday!

Some MATH for 2025:  

1. 2025 itself is a PERFECT square: 45ยฒ = 2025

2. It is a product of two squares, namely: 9ยฒ ร— 5ยฒ = 2025

3. It is the sum of THREE squares, namely: 40ยฒ + 20ยฒ + 5ยฒ = 2025

4. The last perfect square?  1936
44ยฒ = Year 1936

5. It is the sum of the cubes of all the digits from 1 to 9:
1ยณ + 2ยณ + 3ยณ + 4ยณ + 5ยณ + 6ยณ + 7ยณ + 8ยณ + 9ยณ = 2025

6.  It is also the squared sum of all the numbers from 1 to 9: (1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9)ยฒ=2025

Making the rounds on teacher FB right now. Yes, this is what teachers do on our holidays ๐Ÿ˜‚. #MathChat

David, thatโ€™s great! My son and I as well as my classes will be patiently looking forward to it!
Thank you!

I looked for the Mathigon puzzle this year and canโ€™t find it.
Does anyone have info on that? @amplify @desmos #iteachmath
I like to post these in class for my students.

Maybe โ€˜weโ€™ are those people now.
I donโ€™t always open this app, but like others I think Iโ€™m transitioning here.
Letโ€™s create it! (I donโ€™t teach stats though so thatโ€™s going to be hard for me to replyโ€ฆ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ)

We need a discrete courseโ€ฆ We have a Market Math course that kids enjoy around the stock market.

Let me know if I can help on your panel or proofread anything for you!

I love the perspective of getting them to write because statements to justify their understanding nearly on. Thanks for linking your blog too!!

Back in years 1-4 I started in geometry. I loved it and think Iโ€™ve got a strong background there. Now w Desmos and geogebra, thereโ€™s so many great resources. Thanks for sharing your resources!
Iโ€™m a bit anxious about the discipline and the need for more structure compared to my 12th graders.๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Hi all! Hope to connect w my Twitter math people!!
I might get classes of 10th grade geometry next year๐Ÿ˜ณ๐Ÿ˜ฌ. Iโ€™ve had 11/12th Precalc/Calc for about 16 years.
I need best strategies to be firm and hold this accountable. (Discipline is my weakness)
What do you love about 10th Geom?
