Math / Education / Tech. I also enjoy cartograms!
2yo: the W has three things.
The M has three.
The V has two.
The F has two.
The Q has one.
The X has four! #tmwyk

We are really enjoying Robocodo after my 6yo got introduced to it with code.org Hour of Code!

I like watching her figure it out, catch mistakes, retry…

Not really #tmwyk but look at the hand rotation :)

Spaced over 1 hour: ( #tmwyk thread)

Me: time to go, it’s at 55!
6yo: I thought we go at 11.
Me: yes when the hand is at 11 but how many 5s is that?
4yo pipes in: 55! Cause ten fives is 50 and one more is 55.

My kids’ counts: @zakchamp.bsky.social

2yo: that’s six steps 1234 and I go down the slide.

4yo: 123456789. 9.

6yo: wait, including the top and bottom? There’s… 12335678… no 7. Top and bottom shouldn’t count.

Math puzzle in the wild… a room has capacity 175. But if it is divided down the middle with a 1 inch divider wall, the total capacity is 150.

How does this work? How would your students approach this?

Classic live tweeting at #cmcnorth

@zakchamp.bsky.social asks us why a math student will push away after attempt one. How can kids get into flow like his daughter trying a trick on her bike

Bringing #tmwyk to Bluesky.

2.5yo has been very into counting but this today was the first time I saw him move the object being counted into a “done” pile.

(I had made the original line)

I really feel we are pretty fractured between mastodon, threads, Bluesky, and Twitter still :(
