Happy Mathy Halloween from Mathematics Institute of the Triangle! Can you find all right triangles with integer side lengths where exactly one of the sides is 13? Do any right triangles have two sides of length 13? Can you draw a triangle where all the sides are 13? #Halloween #mtbos

Every March we love hosting the #mathKangaroo #mathCompetition at our school. Registration - at our and many other schools, incl. virtual options - is open at mathkangaroo.org . It's fun with tests for grades 1-12. (MK shared this poster by Osanc, 4th Grader in Avon Lake, OH) #MathKangaroo #M #mtbos

Stand-up math comedian @standupmaths.bsky.social Matt Parker shares the "the most romantic shape in mathematics", intertwined Möbius hearts easily made with strips of paper and scissors. #mtbos

Make a 3-4-5 right triangle and inscribe a circle (make a circle that is just big enough to touch the sides of the triangle). The area of that circle is exactly πr² or π square units! #mtbos

We will be at SciREN #SciREN tonight at the NC Museum of Natural Sciences sharing our math resources with other teachers. It's always a great event - how could it not be with teachers?! sciren.org/networking-e...

We had a a lot of fun at BugFest naturalsciences.org/calendar/bug... and had activities for all ages at our table, drawing many interested families. #mtbos

Thanks to @mathowitz.bsky.social for reminding us that 2025 is itself a perfect square! We asked our students in Jan. what its square root is (and how to easily find it), what the next perfect square year will be, and how many perfect square years the United States has had since 1776. #mtbos

Carl, thanks for the reminder! In January we had our level 3 and older students find out why 2025 is a perfect square. I had forgotten and will update the graphic to add that additional cool #mathisfun tidbit!

Happy Triple Square Day! #mtbos

Today is the big day! We've been teaching math for several years and now, based on many requests, are offering our 1st language arts class starting today running for 10 weeks. We're considering additional ELA classes and tutoring - and of course math! Join us - trianglemathinstitute.com . #mtbos

It's easy to calculate the sum of the factors of any positive integer. Check out our most recent video that demonstrates how at tinyurl.com/mathInstSumFactors . It's one of many free handouts and videos that we love sharing at trianglemathinstitute.com/math . #mtbos

We had our second playdate/get-together of the summer this evening. It’s great to see continuing and new students and their families plus several of our teachers! #mtbos

Several of our teachers enjoyed 2 1/2 days of math teachers’ summer camp at NCCAT nccat.org in the mountains of N.Carolina. We explored w/other elementary through college teachers topics like ‘folding fractions’, equitably slicing bread, AI, & more - w/ good food & better company. #mathcamp #mtbos

We had our first play date/get-together of the summer. We miss our students & their families - we love every opportunity to reconnect with past and new students! #mtbos
