I'm sure you are aware of @Mr_Stadel's Estimation 180 and hopefully you have used some of them in your class to help kids become better at estimation. Recently he posted about how to use the @Desmos activity builder to extend that structure and help get students to think deeper on their estimation skills. He lays it out on this post and shows how you can do that in this post.Curriculum Tags: All

Some fun stuff to help your students link about linear functions from @G_BRGMN. Sure there's a WODB but I like the idea of asking students to notice and wonder about some of those things that we often take for granted as teachers (like the point slope formula for a line). Some nice ways to tweak the stuff you are already doing in your class and get your kids talking at the same time.Curriculum Tags: MPM1D, MFM2P

Do you want a simple, real life math related task, to help connect students to the equation of a circle then check out this one from @geoffkrall. And if you want to take it a step further in terms of real world applications to crime scenes you can look at geographic profiling (which was developed in Vancouver)Curriculum Tags: MPM2D

Do you want to provide your students an opportunity to practice with equivalent fractions then you might want to use this set of 51 cards created by @mathequalslove. 51 because they match all the pieces of the standard fraction tower. She uses it like a card sort where students have to sort fractions in groups that are equivalent using the actual fraction strips to help. Download the template at the link below.Curriculum Tags: Gr7, Gr8

I was just at the @stjwecdsb family math night and each family got one of these homemade fridge magnets with suggested sites for home from @MaryBourassa @MrOrr_geek @Jstevens009 @mr_stadel and @fawnpnguyen #mathchat pic.twitter.com/CFGN2aMhcS— David Petro (@davidpetro314) February 27, 2018

I like this post from @MathDenisNJ highlighting some of the great strobe images from the Olympics and connecting them to trig and quadratic functions. Check the link out for all the images and if you want more of that type, I have a bunch of quadratic ones here.

Some more Olympic data from @FiveThirtyEight. This time on the sports with the most crashes. I think you could use it when teaching about percent. Click on the link for the whole story
