"Farzanah and the 17 Camels" campaign is at a 1/3! 🥰 Fun fact: in Camel Math (TM), 1/3 of 17 is EXACTLY 6🐫 How? Read the story! Our book caravan is preparing to bring math puzzles to thousands of children around the world. THANK YOU! Join the adventure: kickstarter.com/projects/mag…
Be among the first to support "Farzanah and the 17 Camels" by @LooneyMath - a children's math fiction book about problem-solving and perseverance. Our crowdfunding campaign started today! #MTBoS #iTeachMath #KidLit kickstarter.com/projects/mag…
IMAGINE MATH CLASS Youth Video Contest: Teams of U.S. students ages 13-18 are invited to share their vision of the future of math class -- with youth, freedom, and color at the center. Deadline: Oct 15, 2021 - learn more at nationalmathfestival.org/joi…. #2021NMF @mathmoves @NCTM
.@jamestanton We can split squares into (a square number of) smaller squares. We can split triangles into (a triangle number of) smaller triangles. These shapes are strictly self-similar. Do you know where to find more, besides the L-shape (as in the yellow diagram)?

IF (big if) you have energy, and IF (another big if) they seem constructive overall, engage IN PRIVATE. The dynamics are so much healthier between two people talking to one another directly. Assume the content might be shared later, but don't share the conversation live.
Five Fabulous Activities book campaign is at 125% of its goal. Thanks, math friends! Stretch: every $100, we'll donate a book to a math circle serving people underrepresented in STEM fields. Contribute before Saturday Feb 29! #mtbos #mathchat #fivefabmath kickstarter.com/projects/nat…

I hope this books helps math learners. I supported the crowdfunding campaign. #mathchat #MTBoS #iteachmath #mathsmath
And the base for all this is... Mathematics! So this episode is super interesting, find out how to increase fun in math education!

Check out for Five Fabulous Activities for Your Math Circle, a new Natural Math book for teachers and parents. We are approaching our first crowdfunding stretch goal! #MTBoS #mathchat #iteachmath #mathed #educhat kickstarter.com/projects/nat…
Welcome to our rabbit hole! Send us any squares you discover/create. @LooneyMath check this out.

@NaturalMath's Ying and the Magic Turtle already has me obsessed about magic squares 😅

I'd like to assure you, if that's your worry, that books have editorial teams for grammar and style. Authors write as informally on Twitter as everyone else. A great activity for students: how precise must be your math/writing in different social settings? Chat, draft, article...

Meanwhile, you can write Ying fanfiction. Let us know if you do. Beautiful ideas!
Truly personalized learning, focusing on each student one by one (mentoring, tutoring, small learning circles, etc.), is two standard deviations more effective than non-individualized learning with a good teacher and curriculum. So-called two sigma problem. Field: education.
#MathPunday is Monday! On that day, share funny mathematics with friends and family. Today's pun, and a health misconception, comes from 1960s Japanese marketers. Hat tip @garystager theatlantic.com/health/archi… #mtbos #iteachmath #mathchat
#MathPunday is Monday. On that day, share mathematical jokes, like this cursed picture of UPSIDE-DOWN PEAS. Spheres are fully symmetrical, you say? Ha. #MTBoS #MathChat #ElemMathChat #iteachmath

I think this is the original link. My adblockers might have eaten it. I'll put it here just in case; very much worth reading: looneymathconsulting.com/201…

What a beautiful collection, and concept! Love it. Was there a link?
#MathPunday is Monday! Share mathematical jokes with family and friends. "Fibonacci sequency" is my new favorite adjective! Deliciously self-referential. #MTBoS #iteachmath #playfulmath
YAY! Our new math story book reached its funding goal. 2 days to go + STRETCH GOAL: For every $45 over the campaign's goal, we will donate a copy of the book to a math circle that serves a community underrepresented in STEM. @LooneyMath kickstarter.com/projects/mag… #MTBoS #iteachmath
