Math Links for Week Ending Feb 7th, 2020

Featured Links
We released two episodes of OAME talks within the last week. The first was our normal monthly episode featuring @AlexOverwijk and @PaiMath. They were talking about their upcoming webinar "Manage Flow and Let Go!" about some of the logistics of the Thinking Classroom. The second episode is a bonus episode that highlights the featured speakers on day 1 of OAME 2020 in May. That's @Drvcjones, @MaryBourassa, Ian VanderBurgh, @ddmeyer & @Marian_Small all talking about their featured talk. Check both episodes out below.

Resource Links
I created two related @desmos activities about multiplication. The first is one is for students to investigate the idea of multiplying two digit numbers by using an area model and to eventually take a question like 48x62 and essentially multiply (40 + 8)x(60x2) instead. The second one expands on this idea to model a single decimal number by another single decimal number. First in the form 1.3x1.8 and then moving to questions like 3.5x7.2. Both have random problem generators.

It's no secret that I love @Desmos. You might too and so you should apply to be a Desmos Fellow. It's a great way to deepen your Desmos knowledge and become part of a group fo educators who are trying to use technology to enhance teaching.
