If math or physics teachers had their own version of "Live, Laugh, Love" posters, what would they say?

Students were tasked with taking a picture of something they could model with quadratic functions. Lots of good ones but the winning name this, the Purrabola.

Half way through our Work, Power and Energy test we had a visitor. I don’t remember reading about this in the teacher handbook. Do you think giving them a few extra minutes at the end was the right call?

Had some time over the holidays to complete my Lego ISS. Brought it in to school today and it looks great next to the Apollo.

I really like the look of these particle model gifs, especially the one for gases. #iteachphysics en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Gif_…

Year end exams are approaching and it can be overwhelming for some students. I try to help them prepare by breaking up our study sessions and doing practice mini exams on 2-3 topics. This is the schedule we're using to prepare for our AI SL exam on June 9th.

From paper rockets to a successful liftoff in only a few short months. I'm very proud of the students and what they accomplished in the Rocket Club this year.

If a picture says 1000 words, then how many words does a gif say? This one sure says a lot. #iteachmath

Last week our @acsabudhabi Rocketry Club launched a rocket in Texas as the culminating experience in the SystemsGo STEM curriculum. We are the first school outside of the United States to participate in this event! Shout out to @thephysicsboss and all of our students!

I gave my students the quiz below to see who was the "best guesser". Two of the students somehow managed to get 4/5 correct! A pretty simple exercise that lead to rich discussion and further calculations using the binomial distribution and expected values.

I know I tweet about this almost every year, but I really like these Venn diagram activities from @mrbartonmaths. Last month we studied arithmetic sequences and this was a great review activity while applying the principles of Venn diagrams.

This is a pretty interesting Voronoi diagram showing the cells closest to each NBA team. Do the people of BC support the Trail Blazers?

Nothing like a good old fashioned Linear, Quadratic, Exponential card sort to start your Friday morning right.

To introduce Spearman's in the Applications class we watched 5 skiers and individually gave them a score. We calculated the correlation coefficient of our scores with a partner. Then we ranked the skiers and calculated Spearman's. Sheet and video here: docs.google.com/document/d/19x…
