First Quadratics Lesson: My Teaching Experience! #MathTeacher #TeachingJourney… https://ift.tt/2fODdS3
Have any math teachers on here used minecraft (eg arrows to teach about parabolas. You can use command blocks to make the parabolas physical arcs when you fire. Or redstone for logic?)
There is also something called "educational minecraft" apparently.
Thought I might mess around with it this summer, but don't know if it's worth the time or if I'm just making up an excuse for me to play video games. (very possible)
Curious what it was like *in a class*
I #teach my #comboclass #math in a 30/60 model - 30 min whole group with movement and #collaboration time, and 60 mins small group centers/rotations. #3PeaksClassroom has fabulous (sensible!) resources/ideas for managing #rotations. https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQmjsmCw3-E0RLbgtVNZTDfuKtFByumY6&si=Meveh6EcJOVhKaku #primary #education #mathteacher
This is a #FediHire post, but it's not about technology, so I don't know how helpful the fediverse will be.
I have a PHD in math and nine years of experience teaching university students. I want to leave higher education and become a high school math teacher, but I am not certified.
I'm in the U.S. and have no easy way to leave. I also can't go four years without an income or health insurance.
What states would be the easiest for me to get at least provisionally certified to teach in?
Also keep in mind that I'm trans, so I am only willing to move to a state where it's legal for me to interact with teenagers and get health care.

@alfiekohn Nice to see this spelled out:
"Many math teachers will say a community of learners like Wees describes is a fairytale classroom with no time constraints and no standards to cover. They say their jobs depend on covering all the topics on the test and helping students correct their errors, not taking days to uncover the thinking behind that error. Wees acknowledges the limitations that many math teachers struggle with, but points out the way most people teach math now doesn’t work, so it could be considered a waste of time anyway."
I'm here and not on the other place. I'm a mathematics teacher who focuses on using math to uncover power relationships in our country and world. I teach high schoolers but my opinions on here are my own and do not reflect my employer. I will share interesting insights that are accessible to people who still remember how to do algebra whenever possible. #mathteacher #math #teaching #education #economics #finance #highschool #tech #AI #algorithmicjustice #inequality #equity #boardgames #strategy
Our Hidden Figures curriculum guide highlights the determination and accomplishments of Katherine Johnson and her groundbreaking colleagues Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson. Including a lesson on the math of calculating orbits for space travel, inspired by Katherine Johnson's work!

#OTD in 1897, the first International Congress of Mathematicians was held in Zürich, Switzerland. The congress even included four women!
That makes today a great time to point out that we have film-based lesson plans for math classes. — Yes, you can teach math with film!
Get our free, classroom-ready lesson plans to teach math with films like Hidden Figures (the math of space travel), Like Stars on Earth (the math of determining your grade), Whale Rider (Fermi problems) and more.
Get students of all genders excited about math. Learn more: https://journeysinfilm.org/articles/teach-math-with-film-for-math-and-stats-month/

What is algebra? The question came up in a panel discussion at a #MathTeacher event recently. This is the answer I alluded to but didn't have time to elaborate. New #MAA blogpost https://mathvalues.squarespace.com/masterblog/algebra-its-not-what-it-was

I'm not sure who got rid of such an awesome mug, but I'm glad they did 😎. #math #coffeemug #coffeemugsofmastodon #mathteacher #algebra #trigonometry #ThriftStoreFind
So much of teaching math seems to be based on arbitrary decision making - how many problems to assign, what constitutes ‘proficiency’, how many points each problem is worth, etc.
Why is it so hard to find good data to help make these decisions?

Pi 2023 Digits Matrix Cool Design for Math and Science Fans
➡️ https://geeksta.net/design/pi-matrix-2023-digits/
Pi (π) is a mathematical constant that represents the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. Pi is an irrational number with an approximate value of 3.14. This design shows Pi's first 2023 digits to celebrate Pi Day 2023.
