Miko Imura/Hirono Tyle shared a blogpost on this cool heptagon based #tessellation. note.com/tairu_mk/n/n... (in Japanese, but translates well.)

Taught my first #MathsToday lessons of the year! I forgot how much fun this topic is with Year 7. Today we played “guess the method from the calculation”.

Next week, I'm giving a talk at the @momath.bsky.social MOVES conference on the purely probabilistic dice game Left Center Right. Rather than creating slides to explain the rules, I decided to try "vibe coding" to see what I could create using AI. Here it is divisbyzero.github.io/Left-Center-...

The three rectangles are congruent. What fraction of the design is shaded? #geometrypuzzle

Some fun with number bases (2 through 10) in my latest Sine of the Times blog post: www.sineofthetimes.org/more-fun-wit...

Lots of… Ooo, But, No Wait as we explored the statement, ‘Any quadrilateral can be made from two triangles’ in #MathsToday

These triangles are congruent and isosceles. What’s the area of the semicircle? #geometrypuzzle

Four squares. What’s the angle? #geometrypuzzle

New blogpost on a #mathart lesson we did with preservice teachers and 1st and 2nd graders with some string art type patterns. mathhombre.blogspot.com/2025/05/star... #teachered

This was a no-brainer for me when it came to funding this project on Kickstarter. www.kickstarter.com/projects/bra...

A 'flip' but probably easier than a 45˚ reflection

Kudos to @nytimes.com for covering ARC-AGI in such an exquisite example of interactive data journalism. Amazing spot for @fchollet.bsky.social as well. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

New blog post! "Marvelous Midsegments" Go For Geometry! Episode 5. Activities exploring on all technology platforms: Desmos, GeoGebra & TI calculators. Taking the scenic route 😉 #geometry #MTBoS #iTeachMath #MathsToday karendcampe.wordpress.com/2025/03/16/g...

I’ve just looked up the ppt - the task I used was from @profsmudge.bsky.social’s Algebradabra book - here’s the slide (I can’t get Bluesky to insert a screenshot so this is a low tech version!)

I am incredibly stoked for CMYK games new series of minimal and awesome card games — Fruit Fight sounds very fun and I cant wait to try all of them. Group games of this size are always my favorites www.cmyk.games/collections/...

Wow...they really banned it 😭 #MathSky #ITeachMath

A starter for my class who have had one lesson of C≈3.14×d. 'Measure the diameter of each circle and calculate the circumference ... and stop bending the rulers.' #UKMathsChat #iTeachMaths

Some Web Sketchpad news: You can now build customizable activities, choosing from over 60 geometry and algebra tools, and then collect students' work to review all on one webpage. Get started here: geometricfunctions.org/fc/tools/. Feedback welcome!

Our first game is now available to play at dailyakari.com ! 🎉🥳🕺 We will be featuring a new Akari puzzle here every day! Hope you enjoy it! 😊 #gamedev #indiedev #sudoku #puzzlegame #godot #wordle

Here is a nice followup to the zigzag theorem. What is the right analogue of the zigzag theorem for zigzags in the annulus between two concentric circles? How are we to compare the orange area with the yellow area in the annulus? Post your answers!

I wrote about how AI undermines reading, particularly reading books — about summarization and “optimization culture.” And, for paid subscribers, I have a list of recommended books from those I read this year 2ndbreakfast.audreywatters.com/mark-all-as-...

Great Q posed by @mpershan.bsky.social: is there an app where you draw a distance vs time graph and it makes the velocity vs time graph? No such app seemed to exist, so I wrote one using p5play: rajeevraizada.github.io/Pos_veloc_gr... I hope #iteachphysics & #iteachmath folks find it useful! #EDUsky

What fraction of this regular octagon is shaded? #geometrypuzzle

A mea culpa to all the angry math teachers

12 years after his first appearance, Sal Khan was back on 60 Minutes to talk AI. And I have thoughts 2ndbreakfast.audreywatters.com/12-years-and...

My kind of kid!

This is fascinating. I can see why it works algebraically, but no intuition (yet) for why you would expect this to work.

Found issue #1 of Games Magazine in my closet. Can’t overstate the impact this magazine had on my love of puzzles.

Four squares. What’s the area of the blue triangle? #geometrypuzzle This is another of my all-time favourite puzzles. Written on a day when the weather was too bad to go outside, so it seems appropriate for today! How would you solve it?

Can you find a Pythagorean Triple containing... • exactly one multiple of 5? • exactly two multiples of 5? • three multiples of 5? • no multiples of 5? Any conjectures? #iTeachMath #MathSky
