Wonderful news, @triangleman.bsky.social! Looking forward to using it with future math teachers in our teacher education program.

Question for #MTBoS #iteachmath:
What are your favorite websites to go to for either (1) Warm Up activities or (2) 3-act math tasks?

Some of the sites I've used over the years have moved or are no longer active. So trying to get some fresh ideas and update my list!

As an undergrad I worked briefly with Bela Julesz, absolute icon, and when I look at these random dot stereograms my eyes fall instantly back into it like I never stopped.

Number Palindromes - Math For Love

In #mathstoday we had a blast exploring @mathforlove.bsky.social's number palindrome task which can be found here mathforlove.com/lesson/numbe.... This is probably my favorite non-curricular task along with Tax Collector.

My grade 10s have been working with quadratic expressions and this card sort activity was good for helping them see the connections between key points and different forms of equations.

Visited school today a high MLL (multilingual learner) population. Pairing oral instructions with visual supports as well as shape recognition in one’s first language are two strategies educators can use to support learners with accessing content and curriculum. #iteachmath #mathsky #edusky

♾️ Spending my day talking with @mrkitmath.bsky.social about the complications of subtraction and division compared to addition and multiplication.

We know division can be classified as partitive or quotative. Does subtraction have similarly clear words to denote distance vs removal?
