Tried this problem with my math club today - they’re a group of 6th and 7th graders. They solved it in ~25 minutes. Take that, AI! lol. #ITeachMath #MTBoS

As we learn about the shooting of Charlie Kirk, we can issue platitudes saying things like violence is never the answer

But-to me-it’s this simple

If you abhor the unlawful political violence committed on January 6, you should condemn the shooting of Kirk as well-regardless of his policy positions

Our two plants have been putting out so many tomatoes. The recent heat has helped a ton!

Kathy H @kathyhen.bsky.social · Sep 2

Yes. That too. These are from local farms.

I was honored to guest write the newsletter for Early Family Math about my Little Free Math library and how it came to be!

www.earlyfamilymath.org/newsletters/...

Lots of resources if you want to donate mathy things to an existing free library or build your own Mathy Library!

Would I be able to get a copy of your posts please? I’m having a math club again with some incredible 7th graders and I think that they would love to try some of these activities! 🙏
