What’s your least favorite #geometry theorem to teach and why is it the altitude to the hypotenuse theorem?
I can multiply a binomial times binomial and get a binomial. Or a binomial times a trinomial to result in a binomial. Is it always possible to multiply polynomials with any # of terms and end up with a binomial? (m terms) x (n terms) = 2 terms? Does m or n have to be even?
Overheard in junior high: “Hey, today’s date is the same spelled backwards!”
Geometry today: “One of the US presidents wrote a proof of pythag thm. Can you guess which one?” They guess the famous ones. Then ask if it’s one no one knows. (Yes.) Finally… “Andrew Garfield?” Well, it was James Garfield. Andrew is Spider-Man. “Spider-Man proved PT?” 😵💫
Maybe the answer to “when are we going to use this?” is: You might not. But people who build bridges, predict financial outcomes, invent vaccines, engineer defense systems, operate on you, develop your games, design stadiums are using math. It’s not random. Be aware.
Me: Happy Earth Day! 8th grader: It’s Earth Day? I should drink more water bottles so I can recycle them.
Hey, look at me! I did inquiry learning AND direct instruction today IN THE SAME LESSON! It was AMAZING! Also know as: a Monday.
April vacation ends on a high note
ChatGPT - such a great "resource" for teachers: Thanks for the advice.
A students asked me this week if the trig ratios were considered operations. If yes, where do they fit in our OoOps? If no, what are they? What about logs? Absolute Value? #mtbos #iteachmath
How come I have to wait a whole week for my new glasses but Mary Ingalls and Pa take the buggy to Mankato to the eye doctor and he can make the perfect pair for her right there? I smell a rat.
Here’s a Curriculum Reform thought: I teach the same kids in the same class with the same curriculum. Some do great, some do not. The rest are in between. Is it the curriculum? Is it me? Or is it that all people are different people?
I just missed the last drop of coffee from my Keurig and I’m NOT going to let that ruin my day, right??
Love how this hellscape’s “Discover More” tab shows me tweets I’ve already seen (and often interacted with.)
I always make our warmup with the date. Today: a rhombus has diagonals of 4 and 9. Find the lengths of the sides and the angles formed by the sides. AND THE SIDE LENGTH WAS 4.9 AND THE ANGLE MEASURE OF ONE OF THE RIGHT TRIANGLES WAS 24°! 4.9 24 4/9/24 Serendipity
Both dogs tried to make nice with a porcupine today. The porcupine wasn’t having it. $1200 later, they’re resting semi-comfortably.
Why did that TV ad look suspiciously like a Back-to-School commercial????
I feel like I’ve done enough laundry in my life by now that, statistically, I’m about due for one load to come out of the dryer already folded. Isn’t that how infinity works?
Why do we have to install an app on our phone to see if our trash pickup will be delayed due to the weather? I DON’T WANT A TRASH APP!!!!!

@Dsrussosusan Maybe it can be helpful to think of this theorem as a special case of the "chords of a circle cut each other so that a x b= c x d" theorem?
Selling a home sucks. Staging it while still living in it and having people criticize it. I hate it.
I know it’s small potatoes with everything else, but I’m still really pissed I’m now watching 15 ads per hour on Amazon prime? Why am I paying the same for something worse?? Why is everything just worse, always?
forgive me if this is a bit of a boomer take but if you have a restaurant and you have a website for that restaurant i think that the menu for the restaurant should be on the website
@Dsrussosusan Delighted to hear about both points. I have my fingers crossed for more years of remission (and little to no new preps!)
@Dsrussosusan I'm sorry to hear about your husband's cancer. I hope he's okay? 😬🤞 And friends tell me my half-ass is like most folks' full ass, so I've been letting go of things, and it's been okay-ish. But still. I think abt work all the time. And it's too much. 😭
@Dsrussosusan @desmosclassroom Nashville is lovely this time of year, just sayin’ 😁
Of course, my first act is helping find my replacement. #iteachmath #mtbos this is a dream role: 8th Gr. Alg. 1 @desmosclassroom curric. 1 prep/4 sections/20 per section 1 advisory of ~16 ample planning/collab time me as your admin 😉 Reach out - official job post coming soon.
Some personal/professional news: After 25 years in the classroom, I will be stepping into an administration role for the first time in 24/25, as the new Assistant Head of Academics for Middle School at @USN_PDS usn.myschoolapp.com/podium/push/de…
Me when I remembered that the cat drank out of my cup in the middle of the night, and I’ve been drinking out of the same cup all day.
@JayWamsted Even in the "in the building" ones, I don't want my kid's teacher running away from the classroom to go play GI Joe in the hallway fighting the shooter, and likely getting themselves killed, leaving the class abandoned. Instead, I want the teacher locking the classroom door etc.
@Dsrussosusan @Mrs_CHibbard for next time! I second Cheryl’s suggestion. I’ve used it as good way to prove the Pythagorean theorem in the first place
@Dsrussosusan @mathillustrated 3 color highlighters. For a geo teacher, I have the worst spatial understanding! I have to cut apart, draw separate, or color code always. I use these similar triangles to derive Pyth Thm with my honors. It’s challenging.
Does anyone else just... not keep track of how many books they've read each year? I can't set reading goals because I just forget which books I've read and when and I don't know if I've finished three books so far this year or thirty.
Just got called on in my union rep role. Whether organized or not, it would seem that some of the teacher's in the building are rebeling against always having to do coverage on Fridays because so many people out. People are just not showing up for coverage.
Been asking myself this a lot lately.
I'll be frank: I've had a really tough time mentally these last few months. This surprise encounter was something I needed in my teacher-soul. 7/7
@Dsrussosusan Thinking more about x^n+k for k>0. If n is even it would factorise into n linear factors in the complex numbers and they’d pair up in conjugate pairs to make n/2 quadratic factors, which in general would be three terms each.
Before I start my maternity leave next week, my Algebra 2 students showcased their brilliance and creativity with the @Desmos art project!
S: Why are we taking a benchmark next week & taking a final exam a month later? Me: I dont know. Guess you'll have to ask the district. **S gets phone out of pocket** Me: What are you doing? S: Calling the county office. You told me to ask.
