According to the art teacher it’s acrylic paint!

My other approach is relentless positivity, bordering on the annoying 😂

Peter Liljedahl in his book Building Thinking Classrooms has a lot of ideas on this topic.

😂 yes!

Teach in Canada… can confirm that it isn’t a concept that necessarily comes more easily, but it is easy to make it relevant 😂

I could! Inspired by your video, I put this together this morning. There were 8 for students to visit around the room and essentially vote on each one.

I’ve messaged you the prompt! Please let me know any way you see it could be improved

Skittles to learn about ratios and proportional reasoning 😂

I had a worksheet that students completed as they worked through the prompts to help guide the math work that they should be doing. It needs a bit of tweaking, but I’m happy to share the resource and the AI prompt I built the space from if anyone’s interested

Oh wow! That’s awesome. Thanks for sharing these.

Oh that’s fantastic! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for these!

I haven’t read it yet, but I have a book on the history of mathematics on my shelf.. I’m excited to read it and to be able to share the history with my students. Sounds like it helped bring the concept to life for you, hopefully could do the same for others. Thanks for the great idea!

I agree… everyone loves a good story.

Agree with the silliness! Have you got any examples? 😂

I’ll look into RME. Thanks!

So good to remember this as a teacher! It seems to me like this is done most at the younger, elementary ages, have you seen examples of it done well in older grades, and if so what does it look like?
