Today is a #perfectday mathematically speaking. 28th June (the 6th month) is the only day of the year that includes two perfect numbers: 6 & 28 – they're equal to the sum of their divisors🀯 Dave Gorman explains it, um...perfectly youtu.be/EM46_5Yd5II (contains some swearing) #UKMathsChat #MathsToday

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

The Book is Done!!! After five long years of writing, drawing, and formatting, I finally did it – I published my children’s book: A Very Variable Adventure: From Alphabet to Algebra. Hooray!!! Maybe now I’ll actually …

Now that I finished my book I have been extremely excited to explore new ideas with my blog.

Ironically, my first new post is . . . about my book. πŸ˜†

I'd love to know what you think:
