I know that Henri has suggested that his post where he speaks of going full force with technology as "controversial", but I think maybe just for traditionalists. There are whole banks of math teachers that think that math is just about solving equations but I like these two quotes to give you a sense of where he is going: "Many math educators consider the solving of linear equations to be the heart of algebra. The topic is often introduced early, atomized into many special cases (one-step, two-step, etc.), and the subject of endless mind-numbing practice. For many students, this carries little meaning, other than “I’m supposed to get x by itself”" and "But note that of all the conceivable equations, only linear and quadratic equations can be solved with paper and pencil. If exponential, trigonometric, or logarithmic expressions are involved, Algebra 1 techniques are useless." Check it out yourself here

If you are doing any work on working with equations (Eg, subbing values in) then this equation about measuring "good value" might be a great conversation starter too.

My formula for good value has been picked up by @DailyMirror - give it a go for yourself to see what is, and isn't, good value. Full article at the link below.

If you are doing any work with area of quadrilaterals then this might be a great problem to work on and if you want to get kids started, here is a triangle only version using Desmos Geometry.

Kia ora koutou, hi everyone - this week's #MathPhoto22 is all about #angles (I'm from New Zealand and the te reo Māori word for angle is koki).
