Math Links for Week Ending Mar. 30th, 2018

So Equatio from @texthelp is a Google plugin that speeds the process of putting equations into Google apps. Now with Google Docs there is already an equation editor that is fairly easy to use but one of the nice things about this is the input choices, two of which are hand writing (great if you have a touchscreen Chromebook) or by voice. Though what you get is a non editable image, the thing that makes up for it is that with Google Forms you not only get equations that both you can use for creating questions but that students can use when they write their answers, not to mention that they can also add graphs (using the @Desmos API). Pretty cool. Thanks to @Esping_Math for pointing this one out.

I like this activity from @Mr_Stadel that has students first informally graphing linear relationships in contexts and then works it's way to describing them in words, with numbers and equations.

Are you looking for some resources on women in mathematics? Well @LetsPlayMath has you covered. This is a nice summary of the contributions of 15 women to mathematics. Nicely done.

I just had some fun with @Geogebra's new AR app to view 3D shapes. Though I'm not sure where to use this in a K-12 class in Ontario, it sure is fun. It seems it only exists for iOS right now though.

Even if you don't like their music you have appreciate all the effort OKGo puts into their videos. Now on this site they have turned some of these experiences into an educational sandbox. You get a small sense of it with this behind the scenes video but there is much more. Check the site out.

These images from @AlexOverwijk really show that you don't need any fancy tech to get your kids engaged in math. Just ask questions in the right way.

Literally #openmiddle question. y=x*2+__x+24 then y=x*2+__x-36.
Impressed with what I observed and heard from my #mbf3c S’s. Best moment “0h for this one the y intercept is the vertex!”

Pushed one group y=x*2+2x+___
