One of the best things to ever happen on seniors last day. A student brought me a piece of 'I am sorry for talking so much' cake 😂😂 #WeAreFirebirds

Playing around with the new Desmos recursion feature. This graph was made by recursively generating a random path from (0,0) and coloring each block by its distance from (0,0). Came out much cooler than expected!!

Learned about a cool function today from
Tim Guindon that makes 'blobs'. Decided that the best application was to make a Lava Lamp on
Desmos 3D calculator! The default is to not show the glass, but you can enable it by turning on translucent surfaces.

When your dad is a math teacher, you learn about propper data collection and safety. Be sure to wear your safety glasses during #TheEclipse !!

My students were challenged to make art on Desmos. One of my students made a PRECIOUS graph of a pig. Here is a link if you would like to check out her work! #WeAreFirebirds

Playing around with some recurrsion in Javascript. Going to have students code a method to get out of this maze. Should be fun! #WeAreFirebirds

Shoutout to Scott Mitter for sending this problem out today. The question: which box has the most pie in it? Naturally, I needed to make a Desmos graph to visualize the solution. (Don't click on the link until you solve. Contains Spoilers) HAPPY PI DAY!

Exploring the graph theory of Ticket to Ride in Discrete Math today!!! Looking for Euler Paths/Circuits while developing a winning strategy. #WeAreFirebirds

Great day of cybersecurity pd at the ComoxAirForceMuseum. Got to hear from some great speakers Mack Jackson Jr and Tom Jenkins, NBCT. Excited to take this back to my classroom. (Dino pics because...they are robot dinos)

Interesting how bugs can affect even large companies. (Note: this is why everyone was afraid of Y2K. We expected an error like this.)

My students were exploring connectivity in graphs and degree sequences. The game ,Hakimi, is an example of graph theory. You are given a series of points and are asked to make connections between them. The game is coded in Desmos. Have fun!

Tried my hand at making a Desmos Valentine for my wife. Chose the theme of Up to tell our story. Be sure to unmute before you press play! Happy Valentine's Day!

So proud of my discrete math students. They came up with a simplified version of the Eros-Gallai Theorem in class!! We did not get into a formal proof, but we got to discuss the ideas behind it. # #WeAreFirebirds #ITeachMath

Discrete Math is starting to study connectivity and graph theory by exploring how to represent handshakes in a group without double counting. Such a fun discussion! #ITeachMath #WeAreFirebirds

The Discrete Math shirts are in and I love them!!!! Be on the lookout for an awesome Firebird wearing this shirt next week!! (Yes, the binary does mean something 😎) #wearefirebirds

I LOVE when Desmos releases the finalists for the art contest. It is always such a fun and inspiring group of graphs. This was my graph. I had a fun time making it, and I wanted to share with others. Now, I am inspired to try and top myself next year!

I feel this. It always starts as a nice, easy graph and then blows up into a giant graphing project 😂😂 Worth it!!

Discrete Math is working on probability as it relates to the game of Risk. I may or may not have dominated my students. (I am the yellow AND black pieces...ran out of yellow). It was great for discussion!! Coding tomorrow!! #wearefirebirds
