Math Links for Week Ending Apr. 3rd, 2020

Featured Links
All of these links have been featured on this blog over the years and even some summaries. But it's always worth it to see a new summary, especially when many of us are looking for help. In this case @ChrisHunter36 has packaged them as a nice visual clickable PDF. Follow the link to download yours.

Resource Links
You can always count on @MaryBourassa to help out the province by posting stuff she is doing in her class. As many of us are doing, we are scrambling to figure out what to keep and what to pitch in all of our courses. In this Google Doc, she's giving us a sense of how she's laying out her Grade 9 Academic course. And don't forget to click on the Twitter chat that follows in the comments.

Here is a teacher version of my plan for #MPM1D for next week. I hope the links work. The check-in will ask how they are doing and will give them the space to tell me whatever they need to about their situation (I have already checked in with them all). https://t.co/5GgGgxYu2U

And here she asks for advice and the discussion in the comments gives some insight

Does anyone have good strategies for evaluating solving linear equations? I mean PhotoMath does it all so I'm trying to think of interesting questions that can demonstrate students' level of understanding. #MTBoS #whydowehavetogradethis

A lot of companies are offering support in many different ways. In this case TI is giving free access to online courses for the next six months as well as free downloads of their IOS calculator apps until the end of April. So take advantage of these while they last. Thanks to @KSpry for pointing this out.

This could be a good visualization for talking about a converging series.

It wouldn't be a math links post this week without some sort of Covid-19 link. This time it's two, first watch this video from @MinutePhysics about a log-log representation of Covid-19 data. This is new infections vs total infections. And the nice thing about this representation is that it makes it easy to see when things may be improving. And if you want to play around with this in a more dynamic way this graph is updated daily.
