Math Links for Week Ending Aug. 20th, 2021

Featured Links

Lots of stuff this week to support the newly released Grade 9 Math curriculum. Firstly a new (to me) resource BHNMath that has all sorts of resources for Ontario secondary school students, parents and teachers. For example, there are a lot of references to story telling in the new grade 9 curriculum and so here is a resource for topic ideas for those expectations. Thanks to @RobinMath3 for pointing this resource out.

I've begun creating a list of some "Tell a Story" topic ideas for #MTH1W. I'll keep adding topics as I think of them. Suggestions are very welcome! The more cultures/contexts, the better!https://t.co/161ZQOPOtn pic.twitter.com/gEmnXIOIci

It seems that @HTheijsmeijer has been working hard coming up with resources for specific expectations for the new Grade 9 course connecting to the cultural context and she's sharing them and asking for feedback to make them better. Check them out here

Golden Ratio: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WoAlTL-c2UZmAV_wID1S4e8oP4N5rYkNiZOKoMULh24/edit

Another teacher resource for #MTH1W - this time for the Golden Ratio in various cultures, which could fit well with B1.3 (use patterns and number relationships to explain density/infinity/limit...)

Again, suggestions/additions more than welcome!https://t.co/FReaIEgEDW

Put this together this afternoon as a #MTH1W resource. Suggestions/additions welcome!

Right triangle side relationship resources (alternative backgrounds to the "Pythagorean Theorem"):https://t.co/8b494MCoof

One more #MTH1W resource, this one for B1.1 (...number concept to tell a story about its development and use in a specific culture...).

I definitely need help filling this one out - suggestions/additions welcome!

I've mentioned this coding resource specific to Grade 9 Math before. Now all the weekly challenges are there. So check them out.

The 8th (and final) #mth1wCodingChallenge is posted. This week's focus is creating animations in Scratch to tell stories. Great for the SEL and story telling expectations.

Thanks to all those who joined. All the best with #mth1w!

Here's a great @OpenMiddle interactive for sum of angles in a triangle

Wondering if this @openmiddle problem by @aa_henderson can help Ss discover the relationship FIRST vs. being a problem to work through afterwards. 🤔 With 192 unique solutions, I’m hoping “yes”. 🙂 https://t.co/N6KQgOSR0u @geogebra @robertkaplinsky #MTBoS #ITeachMath #mathchat pic.twitter.com/eUyHhOz4Z5

And speaking of @OpenMiddle, here's another for graphing.

Looking to challenge your students who are learning about the coordinate plane? Try this @openmiddle problem with them. https://t.co/DF2YVKmcue #iteachmath pic.twitter.com/T22Z2Na8hy

And @NatBanting says that creating interactive resources using @Mathigon isn't terrible. Check this one out for beginning probability.

This Summer I tried my hand at building a @MathigonOrg task for their library.https://t.co/8YxoTG14WW

Builder was quick to pick up and @davidporas was there when I needed it!#MTBoS #iteachmath

Thanks to @OttawaMorning and Jodie Hudgin for the bright-and-early convo about destreaming and anti-racism in math learning.

Here's the recording for those that were still in bed: https://t.co/d4Yj9EveE0 https://t.co/lcqDYNaMnN

Need a visual on the sum of a series?  How about this one from @TedG on sums of powers of 3s?
