Math Links for Week Ending Jun. 26th, 2020

Featured Links

Well it's out. The new Ontario elementary math curriculum, that is. It has been promised for years (the last change made was 15 years ago) and although the timing may not be ideal (in the middle of a pandemic) here it is and it is to be implemented in the fall. They also have a new digital platform for distribution which I am sure will be loaded up with other stuff in due time.

What a great idea. Who else should be added here? And I am glad that @Anniek_p added a reminder of her great resource on Not Just White Dude Mathematicians in the comments

I've been working on a resource featuring Indigenous role models in math/science for our students. Here is the list I've started... Who else can be included? What information is missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated!https://t.co/Gq97qki1jc

Excited that my colleagues and I were invited to write a guest blog post for the AMS on the connections between geometry and algebra. https://t.co/y05Vcv5JDx #mtbos #mathchat pic.twitter.com/vaR8Hj0mvW

There is still some time to weigh in on this poll by @MarkChubb3 on mathematical modelling. And don't miss out on the discussion in the comments.

Hey Ontario teachers. How would YOU define "Mathematical Modelling"? (Overall expectation C4)

Define it better for us too.#onted #iteachmath #MTBoS #iteachmath #onpoli

If you take 4 Hilbert curves and stick them together so that they form a loop, it's called a Moore curve.#mathart https://t.co/QnYT3b4qoB pic.twitter.com/PfTN0PbvIk
