Looking at fun patterns in doubles for today's homeschool lesson.

I sharpened all my favorite staedtler pencils, and I'm listening to @robertqberry. Excited for my first day back in school. #mtholyokemath #cohort7

Ready to use my new angle decoder ring. #mtholyokemath Zak Champagne Jan Szymaszek Public Math

The idea that one symbol can have many different meanings is implicit in our base ten number system. A 2 can represent 2, 20, 200, 2/10 or 2/100... #mtholyokemath

First angle found by the 7-year-old in our household. The nature tray holds all sorts of angle goodness! Public Math Zak Champagne Jan Szymaszek #mtholyokemath #cohort7

How do we shift from valuing the things we measure to measuring the things we value? #mtholyokemath #cohort7

“A problem worth solving is a problem worth walking away from.” Zak Champagne #mountholyokemath #cohort7 #ExaminingFeaturesofShape

Once I heard Steve Leinwand mention “missionary-style triangles.” Today, in #ExaminingFeaturesofShape, I learned from research that kids are naturally drawn to shapes with symmetry, orientation and "equilateralness." Research supported missionary-style triangles.

Oh yeah. Mailbox treasures.

These 21st century pattern blocks will certainly put you and your kids in a good mood. By the way, these were a sweet graduation present from my friend and sherpa Meredith Stanley. She gets me. Christopher Danielson

My good friend Zak Champagne once told me that "a problem worth doing is a problem worth walking away from." Read his NCTM published article on why it's okay to walk away from a math problem. static1.squarespace.com/static/57b4d0f…

Francis Su - mostly posting at 🦋 I loved getting to talk about ideas in your book Mathematics for Human Flourishing last night with a few colleagues. The first chapter was very inspiring - a great way to begin our book club. Thank you Carly Albee, NBCT Amanda Van Vleck
