Math Links for Week Ending Sept. 13th, 2019

Featured Links
So fun, @saravdwerf has a new set of #mathfails and now has over 400 download them all at the link below and have your kids find all the fails. Great for numeracy based investigation. It's as simple as asking "what is the math fail?"

Resource Links
Here is some info on some important female mathematicians. Perfect for both your male and female students to be aware of. And then when you're done, maybe get a #mathgals shirt. Thanks to @stevenstrogatz for pointing this out.

Opinion Links
I have been saying this for years. Since the 2015 PISA results came out. The idea that our students are, despite popular belief, actually quite good at basic math. Thanks to @EcoKrisb for pointing this one out.
