Inputs and Outputs I recently returned from NCTM in Atlanta. It was a beautiful week of learning and connection (and late night karaoke -- priorities). "Let's See What You're Saying." On Friday, I attended a session with Grace Kelemanik and Amy Lucenta entitled "Engage all students in mathematical ideas and processes by planning from the margins in." (It was predictably brilliant; I love…

This year, I joined NCSS (social studies) as part of my registration for their national conference. (I presented about slow reveal graphs!) Today, their journal arrived.

What a beautiful surprise to see an article from fellow math educator/SS enthusiast @mathillustrated.bsky.social! ๐Ÿคฉ

Can you solve the puzzle?  What goes in each blank of the area model?
A 2 row by 3 column array is shown.  To the left of the array, a 2x is shown in row 1 and a 3 is shown in row 2.  A 10x^3 is shown in the 1st row, 1st column cell.  The rest of the cells and the 3 spaces above the first row all have question marks.  Under the array, the total area is given as 10x^3 + 23x^2 โ€“ 4x โ€“ 24.

If 100% is 400,
what other percentages can you work out?

The picture shows a bar split into 10 large sections, each marked into 10 smaller sections. Markers above the bar show various percentages, while markers below it show the corresponding amount for each percentage.

Applications of simultaneous equations might be my favourite topic. There are just so many fun problem types! We did these Don Steward beauties in Y10 #MathsToday.
