For a long, long time elevators were operated by people. Nowadays we think nothing of driverless elevators.

Today I just rode in my first Waymo.

Amazing.

Awesome: My flight arrived to its destination 25 minutes early!!

Not-so-awesome: We had to sit on the tarmac for 25 minutes to wait for a gate to be available.

I always compare my travel experience with that of the Donner Party. It makes anything I experience not so bad.

A lovely #RecreationalMath problem for your day.

#iTeachMath #MathSky

A semicircle is drawn. There is a rectangle who is lower right corner is at the right side of the semicircle. The top of the rectangle is tangent to the top of the semicircle. Essentially, the height of the rectangle is the radius of the semicircle. A line is drawn from the lower right corner of the rectangle to where the rectangle intersect with the semicircle. This intersection is somewhere along the left side of the rectangle. We are supposed to find the area of the rectangle.

Well… Today has not exactly started off on a good note. A fellow educator just called me an idiot. I know I have to have a thick skin in this business, but I was hoping to finish my coffee first.

It’s going to be another 7-alarm day. Lots of meetings and Zooms.

How many alarms do you have to set today?

A screenshot of my phone showing many alarms have been set.

Duane Habecker @duanehabecker.com · 13d

Yeah…I hope that is the case with these wonderful students too. In the meantime, it is a tough slog!

I shared Graspable Math with 9th graders who were struggling with solving equations because their integer operations skills were so stinky.

They ended the class loving GM and solving equations.

We will continue working on those integer skills.

I have heard that OAME is an amazing conference.

It sounds like you are confirming that!
