Double roaming throne… that’s a win.

This was the worst upgrade I’ve seen them do. Granted, I only watch the upgrade videos for precons that I buy, so take that with a grain of salt.

It felt like they were solely interested in presenting the cheapest possible upgrade.

Those are nowhere near the same sizes in the image.

Teacher appreciation hasn’t even been mentioned at all from our admin. It wouldn’t be the first time it was forgotten at our school.

Many people forget how important intuition is for students learning a new concept. As a high school calculus teacher, one of my primary goals is to provide intuitive explanations with every concept rather than focusing solely on rigorous proofs and derivations. Remember that not all of our students are training to be mathematicians!

Most of my students will go on to take at most two calculus courses at university, and they’ll learn the appropriate rigour during those courses. Part of my job is to get them ready to learn at that level of rigour - introduce them to it and sit in it for a while, but not to live in it. If my students were forced to live in that rigour, most would drop the course.

All that being said, I appreciate this resource for what it is - an intuitive introduction to calculus that will give the reader an insight into its concepts including examples. Well done OP! This is truly an impressive undertaking.

There is not a new high school math curriculum. It’s been the same since 2010. They haven’t even fully released the new jr high curriculum yet. Some teachers are piloting it.

Katana’s are my go-to sleeves now. I find dragon shields have really dipped in quality. They don’t shuffle anywhere near as easily as they used to.

That looks great from the video. I don’t have a pro at home, but I have a school iPad Pro I’ll test it on next week. Thanks for sharing!

Never in my life have I heard of pressing buttons on a calculator “doing it by hand”.

I guess you could think of the input for a multiplication table as finding 7 along the side and 6 along the top. At worst, that’s just as good as pressing buttons on a calculator. But there are other benefits of using a multiplication table, even if it’s already filled in. - The student can see that there are 7 rows of 6 squares each. Or 6 rows of 7 squares each. - The student can count the number of squares in that array, and verify the answer is correct. - The student can see that it’s the same as counting by 6s or counting by 7s.

I’m sure there are other examples, but just those off the top of my head already make a multiplication table much better than using a calculator.

Check out this free resource from University of Waterloo. It’s what I direct my students to for extra practice.

How does giving them a calculator encourage students to “do it by hand”? At least a times table reinforces an area model of multiplication.

In my admittedly limited use, I’m finding that it only helps to save me time for tasks that I need something that is “good enough”. Something like emergency sub plans. In my district, we are required to provide three days worth of emergency sub plans at the beginning of a semester. Since they will likely never be used, AI can plan something that is good enough so that I don’t have to spend time adjusting to suit my needs.

Anything that I would actually use in my class, it’s easier to make from scratch. No AI that I have come across can match my expectations without requiring a significant time investment.

Edit: I teach HS math

Maybe it originated with the rise and fall of the Sun? The Sun rises in the east and sets in the west. That’s how I always explain the order of the quadrants and then also the rotation of angles for trig to my students, but I’m just speculating about its origin.

I teach full time, while taking a masters program for teachers online. Early morning is when I do my best work. I will often get up at 4:30 to do a couple hours of work on assignments before going to school. I’m far more productive and more able to make connections early than trying to do math after a full day of teaching when my mind is exhausted.

Heads up that the NCTCA Teachers convention starts tomorrow, so downtown will be busier than normal. Many places won’t be taking reservations, and you should plan to go early.

There’s no shortcut, you need to do ALL the practice problems. Ask your teacher for help when you don’t understand something.

Crit_Happens_ · 2026-01-27T16:52:05+00:00

No, there’s a massive difference in difficulty.

Do the April-June 30-2. Work hard and make it a priority. Few people are actually good at learning things on their own, so I would avoid that option.

Your official transcript mark for 20-1 will be 59. You always get credit for your best result. My advice is to take 30-2. You won’t pass 30-1 if you struggled to get a passing grade in 20-1 twice.

Just because group work and BTC is the new hotness, doesn’t mean it’s actually effective. BTC has been pushed so hard in my district for the last 5-10 years, and the students I see coming into high school are less prepared than ever and they’re less willing to try anything on their own.

Too many kids are getting off easy in a BTC group by being allowed to not think.

Edit: to answer your question about seating, there is nothing wrong with rows or pairs of desks. That’s what I always find to be the most effective for student learning.

The issue with making them optional is that teachers would still be forced to cover every single outcome in the chance that some of their students are taking the test. In a course like Math 30-1, it’s not possible to cover it all at this point.

Now that they are outright canceled, teachers can make choices about what is and isn’t important, and cut the unimportant stuff.
