Today in Calc... Heated discussion over limit challenges posed between groups. Eventually argument got resolved to applause from winning team. Losing team will not forget their initial conceptual mistake. Love my students enthusiasm at lunchtime on a Friday! #MathTrhoughPlay

One problem with these kinds of patterns is that they grow too fast. Note to self: work on the floor next time.

More testing of magnetic toys. This #Goobi contruction set is my new favorite. Light, long, colorful, and strong sticks. Good magnets. There are interesting joints that we’ll report on tomorrow.

Very excited about this upcoming event in KC! Check out "Women2Women - Kansas City" eventbrite.com/e/women2women… @Eventbrite

#Maththroughplay #math Have been trying to find some good large magnet sticks to build with (and eliminate the stress about little kids swallowing magnets). Sadly, these are not what I was hoping for, magnets are to weak, structures too unstable. Ideas?

I loved doing math with my body, playing the Moving Patterns game (designed by @mathinyourfeet) at @MathOnAStick. @eappleton @Z_Guadarrama #IAmABE #ANNMath
