Math Links for Week Ending May 19th, 2017

This site is so slick. The premiss is trying to measure the repetitiveness in songs by seeing how compressible the lyrics are. That itself might not be so exciting but the way that they present the data is very neat. Just scroll down the page and see it presented to you in a dynamic way. There are interactive graphs so you can test out your own theories. Even if all you do is look at the normal distribution it's still pretty cool. I only wish all the data was available for download.  Thanks to @Esping_math for this one.

Need an Ontario Math resource. Look no further than ontariomathedresources.ca Of course you can just go to the Edugains site but this new (or at least new to me) site is a bit nicer looking and simplified. A one stop shopping for some of the more popular topics. Thanks to Gisele Jobin for pointing this one out.

Some links are still coming in from OAME 2017. This time @rossisen takes a problem seen in one of @tomsteinke 's session and turns it into a dynamic web sketch. Click through on the blog to get to the dynamic sketch and explore.

A pile of educators were at the RMS Symposium this week and @Pi_lab showed us this problem about a student's conjecture about area and perimeter. In this post @Rossisen extends the problem with some neat insights.

A few weeks ago I was looking for some good resources on representing dividing fractions and settled on using a "jump along" model. Eventually I'm probably going to make a websketch to model it but in the mean time @MsbJacobs has some insight into using concrete representations when dividing fractions.

@MrOrr_Geek did his Ignite session at OAME 2017 on why he is picky. He wants you to be too. Watch below and then go to the link for all the play by play.

I heard about @PaiMath's Ignite at OAME 2017 from other people and I am glad he's posted his video so we can all hear his poem "Be You"
