"Farzanah and the 17 Camels" campaign is at a 1/3! 🥰 Fun fact: in Camel Math (TM), 1/3 of 17 is EXACTLY 6🐫 How? Read the story! Our book caravan is preparing to bring math puzzles to thousands of children around the world. THANK YOU! Join the adventure: kickstarter.com/projects/mag…
Exciting news! My new children’s book Farzanah and the 17 Camele is live on Kickstarter!! Join Farzanah on a math adventure. Your support is appreciated! ❤️❤️🐫🐫🐫☀️☀️☀️kck.st/3Wyf5Lt#storytelling#mtbos#elemmathchat
It's a character-driven take on a classic puzzle, full of gentle humor and touching intergenerational moments. Please visit the campaign and check out vibrant watercolors, grab a PDF with bonus activities for your family or class, and hear the author's story. Spread the word!
A great example of making all mathematics accessible to everyone in kind ways! Graph Theory is 05C, under Combinatorics 05 in the Mathematics Subject Classification that defines "all mathematics" for our Math Makers 5 project. msc2020.org/#mtbos#iteachmath#MM5
Moving to the US from Colombia as a teenager presented many challenges. Learning English was definitely one of them!! Today after years of work and dedication, I have contributed to two books and have published my very own Math Play🙏🥰

In yesterday’s math circle, we played a game that challenged&excited the children, Kindergarteners through 3rd graders, gently touching on concepts such as nondeterminancy, probability, & induction, before we started geometric explorations. #mtbos@MathCircleNet#mathisfun

IMAGINE MATH CLASS Youth Video Contest: Teams of U.S. students ages 13-18 are invited to share their vision of the future of math class -- with youth, freedom, and color at the center. Deadline: Oct 15, 2021 - learn more at nationalmathfestival.org/joi…. #2021NMF@mathmoves@NCTM
I know we are all teaching and learning under unprecedented circumstances but if you can, allow your students to do some #MathPlay. You will not be disappointed with the results, here are a few examples via @Desmos from precalc ss at #WeAreChappaqua#MTBoS#ITeachMath#MathisFun
.@jamestanton We can split squares into (a square number of) smaller squares. We can split triangles into (a triangle number of) smaller triangles. These shapes are strictly self-similar. Do you know where to find more, besides the L-shape (as in the yellow diagram)?
On Dec 9 (teens tweens) and Dec 10 (younger) invite students to live author readings of math fiction. Title One schools also get the books for each student. @natmathfestival #MTBoS#2021NMFeventbrite.com/e/mathical-bo…
Five Fabulous Activities book campaign is at 125% of its goal. Thanks, math friends! Stretch: every $100, we'll donate a book to a math circle serving people underrepresented in STEM fields. Contribute before Saturday Feb 29! #mtbos#mathchat#fivefabmathkickstarter.com/projects/nat…
I loved the steak analogy. You can not uncook a steak just like you can not take back scaffolds and clues that you have already given your students to solve a problem. Let them struggle a little!
