forgot to share this: I made a tutorial on how to draw anything with a single equation/inequality. youtu.be/NbrvuXib9mk I tried animating it all in @desmos.com but gave up 1 minute into the video and used Davinci Resolve... it was fun to start improving my Desmos animation skills though! #iteachmath

I love this video because it's a great example of how multiple components create complex motions. I think it's a great example of the ideas when combining vectors

Take the digits of 197 and start a sequence where each term is the sum of the previous three:

1, 9, 7, 17, 33, 57, 107, 197

The original number turns up on its own. This is what defines a Keith number - a rare kind, named after Mike Keith, the mathematician who first remarked… pic.twitter.com/uPngkSEi2q

I don't think that there is any sort of "magic bullet" in education and sometimes somethings are adopted as being the thing to "solve" our problems only to be in effective or to have so many moving parts that they could never succeed. I liked this blog post because it's premiss, Fish Farts, comes from a podcast episode from RadioLab that I heard and so did the author. My take away is that often the answer lies somewhere in the middle - that is the solution often means using "a little of this and a little of that"

When a student has a "hurdle" that is not visible, sometimes it's hard for teachers to see that supports are not only something in their learning plan but they are necessary for them to be on an even playing field with other students. I usually liken it to people who have to wear glasses. Those are their learning supports.

Intelligence does not eliminate disability or special education needs. A student can be academically capable and still require significant support with executive functioning, communication, regulation, sensory needs, organization, social interaction or other areas. #Onted #Edusky
