Hey, if you're looking for an easy #mathinthenews lesson, just show this to your students on Monday and see what they say.

This is actually last week's #mathinthenews, but it can be useful for anyone in the #MTBoS who wants to have a fun conversation with their class about gender disparities and the appropriate use of the average: pudding.cool/2018/08/pocket…

Just presented at MCTM with the Blake Prob and Stats students. They did so well, I’m so proud of them!

Not exactly a #mathinthenews topic, but a good #MTBoS graphic for discussion with a math class, maybe about ratios or volume or something? i.imgur.com/BGEKqPS.jpg

Hey students! I was just in Canada and I saw this graph. Can you explain it to me? #MTBoS #mathinthenews

Where I student taught, the math teachers had convinced the students that they exchanged presents on pi day. They passed an empty, gift-wrapped box around the department as they “gave gifts” to one another. Apparently students never realized it was the same box for each teacher.

Today’s Monday, so it’s #mathinthenews day. My Geometry classes today are playing around with this fun article from the pudding, and their visualization of spelling attempts in google searches: pudding.cool/2019/02/gyllen…
