A spinoff of the NPR show Science Friday is the podcast #ScienceDiction where in each episode they take on a science word and talk about its history. On this episode they talk about the word Algebra. And the thing I love the most about this is that it is that the main part of the story is about a high schooler, Gracie Cunningham, who posted a TikTok asking where algebra came from and it went viral and it seemed like she was made fun of by everyone but math professors. Including great stuff from @StevenStrogatz and @DrEugeniaCheng

I like that @mathequalslove continues to post puzzles that she uses for her class to solve each week. She posts them in a public space and just lets them stew over them.

Doing some work with powers of 10? This might be a good way to start. Thanks to @BenOrlin for reminding me about this book

I having spent about 10 years out of the classroom in a support role, I get what @ddmeyer is saying. Though I’m not a classroom teacher ( I’m a VP) now, being back in a building and sometimes teaching multiple classes a day I have a lot of the same feelings.

You don’t have to do crazy elaborate things to engage kids and make them think. Simple tweaks are great and easy to implement.

Inspired by @hpicciotto’s blog, I asked Ss to convince me whether each statement was true or false. They worked in groups at the boards. 1/n pic.twitter.com/kcHeDwqyon
