Don't forget about the 100+ free challenging tasks for secondary math teachers at www.map.mathshell.org/lesso... There are around 20 per grade level.

The Tax Collector (aka The Tarot Card Riddle) - Math For Love

New lesson added to our free lesson library!

This is an expanded writeup of my original @nytimes.com Numberplay writeup from 2015. Features a tie-in to my more recent @ted-ed.bsky.social riddle too!

Great for grades 4 - 10.

Craig Berube speaks to the media after the Leafs were eliminated from the 2025 Stanley Cup playoffs in front of a sign that reads "No Grit. No Grind. No Greatness." which is meant to be inspirational but instead is the most on-point thing ever written.

Can you solve the puzzle?  What goes in each blank of the area model?
A 2 row by 3 column array is shown.  To the left of the array, a 2x is shown in row 1 and a 3 is shown in row 2.  A 10x^3 is shown in the 1st row, 1st column cell.  The rest of the cells and the 3 spaces above the first row all have question marks.  Under the array, the total area is given as 10x^3 + 23x^2 – 4x – 24.

This year, I joined NCSS (social studies) as part of my registration for their national conference. (I presented about slow reveal graphs!) Today, their journal arrived.

What a beautiful surprise to see an article from fellow math educator/SS enthusiast @mathillustrated.bsky.social! 🤩

The picture shows the word power with subscript 2 of 8 equals 3 and power with subscript 5 of 25 equals 2, followed by nine more without the value for students to figure out.

Three square pans full of unbaked dark fruitcake, one large,one medium, and one small are sitting on a brown kitchen chair.

Three square pans full of unbaked dark fruitcake, one large,one medium, and one small are sitting on a brown kitchen chair.

Made fruitcake from an old recipe that makes one large (8x8), one medium (6x6) and one small (4x4) cake.

How would you turn this into a math problem?

The Real Environmental Impact of AI | Earth.Org In this article, we delve into the environmental impact of AI, exploring associated problems including emissions and e-waste.

And I must protest the statement in the "Integrating AI into the Arts" lesson that "Digital tools are 'green,' making them environmentally friendly from a climate justice and sustainability perspective". They may be inclusive but they are not environmentally friendly. earth.org/the-green-di...

Three problems that can be represented by simultaneous equations: one about the length of two strings of square and circular beads, one about the weight of a bucket containing different amounts of water, and one about the value of a given number of coins.

Applications of simultaneous equations might be my favourite topic. There are just so many fun problem types! We did these Don Steward beauties in Y10 #MathsToday.
