Great question for a #MathForSocialJustice class:

What's misleading about the original @cnn tweet?

What's misleading about @PatFinelli's retweet?

(Don't know about CNN, but the replies make it clear that Pat knows what's wrong with his.) pic.twitter.com/uEmBf3Xzhv

For review sessions, I make study guides on Google Slides where each slide has a few questions on a topic. Students comment or post pictures of their solutions so they can help each other out. Rather than the teacher choosing what to review, students can choose what to work on.

I have created activities that use this visual proof of the sum of the angles in a triangle but I like this demo file that @TimBrzezinski created

So I asked my favourite mathematicians and maths educators if they'd help me make a tribute to Tom Lehrer...
