The June cohort of the Citizen Math Online Launch Course kicks off June 17th - There's still time to join! This is a great experience for those looking to level up their real-world 🌍 convos in math class. #EduSky #MathSky docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Thanks for sharing this #RealWorldMath gem! 💎 If you've got one of those wonky end-of-year-schedule-cant-really-plan-for-it days, this article could spark a great discussion!

Hey #iteachmath! You know what was a great idea that sort of died, the #observeme trend. I have always thought the best PD is watching other great teachers. We need to bring that back!

🏀 #RealWorldMath Finally! Buffet's updated challenge was to pick 30 of the 32 first round games correctly...for $1M!💰 Would you agree that's 4 times easier than predicting all 32 games would have been? #MathSky #MathsToday Congrats to the big winner. 🎉 www.si.com/college-bask...

Heather sat down with(ish) a MS math teacher in Vermont to talk about his latest class conversation using #RealWorldMath 🌍 What questions do YOU have for teachers who bring real-world convos to math class? community.citizenmath.com/posts/pizza-... #EduSky #MathSky #MathsToday

Ain't no party like a math peeps party... 😎 #MathSky #EduSky www.nytimes.com/2025/03/14/s...

Has anyone ever partnered with another prof or institution and had students share their work with another class or externally? Wondering what kinds of IRB/FERPA stuff you have to work through to get this to work? Eg. Communication stds making infographics and sharing with external science stds

This is so so good. Thank you, John. "We focus on diagnosing what’s blocking them from the solution. But in doing so, we miss an opportunity to empathise with their current condition and their mathematical thinking so far." mrrowe.com/2025/02/28/w...

Everyone should see “Counted Out”, a film by Vicki Abeles. This Pi Day (3/14), I'm moderating a panel after the screening at UCLA. Register for the UCLA event here: curtiscenter.math.ucla.edu/news/13050/ More about the film, and other screenings around the US: www.countedoutfilm.com/screenings

🗓️ Remarkable math teacher Kate Muelling is hosting a call this week, and all are invited -- whether you're brand new to real-world discussions in math class or are an old pro with ideas to share. Reposts appreciated. 🩵 #MathSky #EduSky #RealWorldMath 🌎 community.citizenmath.com/events/disco...

No festive math shirts yet? Shocked.

Thank you for the tip, @techielibgrl.com!👇 📢 FYI all: We keep an eye on the #RealWorldMath hashtag to find and boost posts connecting the real-world to math class and connecting math to the real-world. 🌍 #MathSky #ITeachMath #MathsToday

💡Ideas please! How do you build writing skills ✏️ in math class? And by writing skills, I broadly mean *everything* -- from just wielding a pen or pencil, to communicating arguments in written/visual form so that someone else can digest them without spoken explanation. #ITeachMath #MathSky #EduSky

When the #RealWorldMath will also melt your heart. ❤️ Can we start a trend of sharing #ScrappyMath?

Have you ever tried to lead a discussion in your classroom but you aren't sure where to start? ⭐️ Teacher Kate Muelling is leading a call to talk strategies, pitfalls, and how to develop a strong community of discourse.👇 #EduSky #MathSky #ITeachMath community.citizenmath.com/posts/80796001

Celebrate Pi Day in any subject! 𝜋 🎉 These engaging, informative activities help students explore pi’s history, applications, and more. #EduSky #ITeachMath

Today, Sunday 3/2: 1 PM PST | 3PM CST | 4PM EST In this lesson 👇, students evaluate a formula with variables to find the reading level of speeches, + consider the role of a speaker *and a listener* in passing along complex ideas. #ITeachMath #MathSky #RealWorldMath

Today @ 1PM, join Ms. Look as she shares how her middle school students evaluate formulas with variable to determine the complexity level of different speeches...and debate whether simpler is always better! #ITeachMath #MathSky #RealWorldMath 🌍 community.citizenmath.com/events/is-si...

"Time to match teachers' dedication" with $10,000 raises for experienced teachers in small, rural schools. What do you think #EduSky? If you were proposing legislation for pay increases, how would you approach it? #RealWorldMath 🌎 www.dallasnews.com/news/educati...

💡 Could we get some thoughts from the #ITeachMath and #MathSky community on this: What challenges or uncertainties do you have (or think others might have) around questions that don't have just one right answer....like when students #DebateMath or share opinions?

One of the quirks of baseball ⚾️ is that no two MLB ballparks are alike, which means a homer in one city might not have been in another! 💬 What do *you* think: Is this part of the charm or maddeningly unfair? www.citizenmath.com/lessons/out-... #MathSky #ITeachMath #RealWorldMath 🌍 #Quadratics

Did the math. Can confirm. 450 ft homer ⚾️ is....far. 🤩 #RealWorldMath

Should we nix the penny? 💰 #EduSky 🍎: Will you comment ideas and resources to explore this question as a class -- or on your own! -- so we can create one BIG thread 🧵 on this #RealWorldMath? 🌍 We'll go first. You add on and repost...👇 #MathSky #ITeachMath #PBL www.citizenmath.com/lessons/comm...
