Make sure you try Clemson Blue Cheese when you are there.

Congratulations, Erick, for the 2 decades of teaching! You have really scored! (Pun intended)

I made a tincture with crushed (with a hammer) green (not brown) sweet gum balls (SGB) and 40% organic vodka. I learned from a Google search for SGB tincture recipe and SGB tincture benefits that it is good for colds and flu.

Jenny, I am so sorry that you are not well. I hope you are feeling better soon. I wished we lived closer so I could share some of my elderberry, usnea, sweet gum ball, turkey tail mushroom, etc. tinctures with you. I just started these herbal tinctures in the fall.

I tried one, and here is an image of one of the snowflakes I created. Thank you for sharing this!

Please make sure participants know how to freeze rows and columns by dragging the gray bars of the "select all" cell that is to the left of column A and above row 1. Also, press Ctrl + ~ (tilde, left of the 1) to see all formulas.

Jenny, I hope you are feeling better real soon. I love your origami zoo!

Congratulations, Ella! The Presidential Award is such an honor!

I love the Desmos free graphing calculator!

The roasted tomato, garlic, and onion option sounds delicious!

Try smoking cream cheese, and then use it in pimento cheese. Cut an 8-ounce block of cream cheese into smaller cubes so that there is more surface area to smoke. Place on a heatproof container and smoke for 1-2 hours.

Multiplication by Heart with Mathigon is the best for learning multiplication facts, and Number Hive is the best for practicing multiplication facts.

Eli, thank you for your prompt response and for clarity on whether or not the new regression capabilities will be available on the state assessments at the end of this year.

@desmos.com We love the new regression capabilities shown at the Tennessee Educational Technology Conference. Question: Will the new drop-down regression capabilities be available on the Tennessee High School End of Course Assessments for Spring 2025?

It is the next-to-last resort for me. The last resort for me is to use a fractional part to get the target number. Recently, I noticed that I could solve several with 1, 2, 3. So, I solved on paper the results of 1, 2, 3; 1, 2, 4; 1, 2, 5; 1, 2, 6, etc. I have time to think now that I am retired!

If you want a hint, I used two of the digits to make a number, such as 14, 55, 15, 45, 55, 51, 54, 41. I multiplied the other 2 digits together, and then I divided.
