Given the price of gas, @waze should integrate a "hitch-hike" mode where you could pick up the hitchhiker and they'd know how far they could get towards their goal (if not actually on your route and you drop them off exactly there).

Presenter on AI tools: "It's like walking into Sephora.. You are overwhelmed but all the young people are diving right in."

chatOAME now has a *GeoBoard* visualization... Along with Desmos, GeoGebra, Polypad, and Graspable Math, we're really starting to fill in the visualization gaps that LLMs leave especially in a subject like math where noticing relationships is so important. What's still missing, #onted #mtbos?

I ran into a teacher who had never heard the phrase "productive struggle" before, and encouraged the presenter to copyright it immediately, so taken by it (law teacher). It was coined by the awesomeJames Heibert in the late 2-noughts & forms a great argument against AI

There is a VAST difference between #AI access in independent schools & public schools which is only widening the equity gap! That doesn’t even factor in the fact that so many voices & cultures are missing from training data! via @heidisiwak.bsky.social @ecooorg.bsky.social #Edusky #dreamforward

The inestimable @pbeens.bsky.social the maker of more custom GPTs than any #onted teacher I know. " #AI can create the illusion of learning " Cognitive offloading. Presenting to a full room at #dreamforward on this snowy Saturday morning. #education #aiineducation

Setting up for the opening session at #DreamForward STEAM event today in Milton. Thanks @ICTC_CTIC and @HCDSB and @ecooorg for bringing teachers together.

Wondering about #AI in Education? The AI experts come together again tonight online for Explor-AI-tion 2.0 : there's still time to register! (there's a 50% off code for math folks!) #onted #mtbos #iteachmath #AIInnovation ecoo.org/exploraition...

My favourite use for #AI this year? I used the Santa emoji for an activity and needed the back of his head, so I asked ChatGPT to give me the image: #mtbos #mathed #santa

Love Christmas! My colleague made these Christmas Tree cupcakes to share. I'm enjoying it while I invigilate this end of term AP Calculus test.

Me (reading blogpost): Ugh, this is just AI slop. Author: It's my work! Me: No, I'd really like to read your work, but not AI's homogenization of it (It was formatted exactly like ChatGPT, em-dashes abound, "not this but this" structures, etc). Author <blocks me>

I was making a #OneNote Page for my Gr 10 class and we were turning back time to a previous topic to use in our new problem. I tipped Cher's "If I Could Turn Back Time" in as a side-note. Then I played the video.. and quickly deleted it. youtube.com/watch?v=9n3A... Little too racy.

Learning happens best when teachers look students in the eye, not look down on them. Dialogue, not authority, engenders well-being. Santiago Rincon-Gillargo at #otfcurriculumforum #mtbos #onted #mathed

"Learning to be taught" (the required compliance for reasonable management and safety, that becomes an overwhelming aspect of schools) is not equal to "Learning to learn" (Learning as a practice of freedom) Santiago Rincon-Gillargo at #otfcurriculumforum #mtbos #mathed

"We may not be able to replace the system, but we can create the friction that makes cracks in the system's concrete in which life can flourish" Benjamin Freud via Dr. Santiago Rincon-Gillargo at @otffeo Curriculum Forum @OAMEcounts #mathed #mtbos

"This is just axiomatically true... which is MathSpeak for 'Because I told you so!'" @freya.bsky.social via www.youtube.com/@acegikmo

#mtbos gang, assemble!

Sorry, #AI ... the document is LONG because it's important, and the text has been chosen deliberately to convey meaning by the author. I don't need Reader's Digest abridged and condensed versions.

LLMs are injective and invertible. They show that different prompts always map to different embeddings, and this property can be used to recover input tokens from individual embeddings in latent space. Paper: www.arxiv.org/abs/2510.15511

Me: And after you substitute into the equation, it's just arithmetic. Student: What's arithmetic?

Two things from #NCTMatl25 that I'm going to be using *this* week: Gail Burrill's algebra problem, and @gwaddell.bsky.social and Ed Keppelmann's 4 pile Nim.

I'm excited for my #AI schedule tonight at #ExplorAItion ! There's still time to register (and *cough* there's a special OAME code for 50% off) ecoo.org/exploraition... #mtbos #mathed #onted

"Discrete mathematics in primary and secondary schools in the United States" 2004 DeBellis Valerie A. & Joseph G. Rosenstein There are some fire quotes in this #MathEdPaperOfTheWeek #mtbos #iteachmath link.springer.com/article/10.1...

This looks interesting! royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/...

So I had two tasks at #NCTMATL25 (besides presenting with Cynthia Shi) ... see @pegcagle.bsky.social and Gail Burrill ... mission accomplished! And a bonus visit with Vicki Lyons Forgot to take a pic with Peg & Vicki, but I got Gail! #mtbos #mathed

Okay, this is still an issue in high school #nctmatl25 #mtbos #mathed

Each representation is correct, but which are helpful, at what stage, and for which purpose? #nctmatl25 #mtbos #mathed

So the previous session mentioned procedural fluency versus conceptual understanding. The next session drove the point home. #nctmatl25 #mtbos #mathed

Inspired by #NCTMATL25 to present at an upcoming conference? Both NCTM and OAME 2026 conference proposals close on Nov. 1st. Here are some thoughts on the benefits of writing a math conference proposal. pbbmath.weebly.com/blog/confere... #ITeachMath @oamelearns.bsky.social

The only reason I would want to teach small children would be for the contexts - & sketches - they create! #nctmatl25 #mtbos #mathed

Use "Create a mathematical sketch" rather than "draw a picture" (it was referenced from another session so I don't have a reason why atm) #nctmatl25 #mtbos #mathed

scholar.google.com/scholar?hl=e... Check work from @marthaalibali.bsky.social !

Note to self ... Look up research on gesturing in mathematics education. If any of you out in the #mtbos have some ideas ... #NCTMATL25 #mathed

"Because of the abstract nature of mathematics, people have access to mathematical ideas only through the representations of those ideas" from Adding It Up. #nctmatl25 #mtbos #mathed

Oh... The exhibit hall at #NCTMATL25 isn't open today, now that I have some time. #mtbos #mathed

"I want procedural fluency from conceptual understanding" #nctmatl25 #mtbos #mathed

The session had us ask our favorite #AI what we should do in Atlanta while at @NCTM I love #chatOAME :) #NCTMATL25 #mtbos #onted #mathed

Sorry, in a few minutes I'll be geeking out a bit... At #nctmatl25 #mtbos #mathed

Issues in lesson plan generation using #AI at #nctmatl25 #mtbos #mathed

I read ~10,000 teacher prompts they made to #AI At #NCTMatl25 Friday @ 1pm, come hear what I learned about how and why math teachers use #AI for their classes, and how that can improve your use. #mathed #mtbos #onted

I'm in Atlanta for the @NCTM Conference! Friday I get to present w/Cynthia Shi on our work developing, designing, using, criticizing & theorizing with & about #AI in math class, especially for preparation, content development, assessment & knowledge. #mtbos #nctmatl25 #OntEd #mathed
