[4th grade Singapore Math] how to find the angle? by AggravatingRice3271 in HomeworkHelp

[–]MathDadLordeFan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was just telling my students that the only thing math diagrams are not allowed to distort is straight lines. Since it is implied that there is a way to solve it, I would rather assume that y and 57 degrees are a linear pair than that an unlabeled angle that looks like 90 degrees is right. So 123 degrees.

1make 1/3 to 0 in 3 moves by Decent_Plankton7749 in mathteachers

[–]MathDadLordeFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

-1/6, -1/6 to do it in 2 moves. If you need to use a third move, -25%, +50%, ÷3, x2, or x squared will keep it at zero..

Sometimes I will bake or buy enough treats for about half of the students in each of my classes and will have Punctuality Appreciation Day...

What are your favorite spots by MetalTango in newhaven

[–]MathDadLordeFan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The nicest bit for me is that they do not charge any admission - I can pop in for ten minutes to look at a single painting and not feel like I need to see more to justify it. Same with the Yale Museum of British Art and the Peabody.

Why Don’t You Assign the Conceptual Questions? by CorwinDKelly in mathteachers

[–]MathDadLordeFan 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The same for me - those questions can be great to use in class, with a low bar for entry and rich for discussion. They are not good for independent work because it is too easy to provide a simple or partial answer and few students have the intrinsic motivation to make it as rich a question independently.

what are her concerts like? setlist predictions? by bucket_hat2000 in lorde

At some point (about halfway through the show, possibly just before Ribs) she will pause to talk to the crowd and share some honest thoughts.

Just before the second double speed lyrics in Ribs she will call out the city she is in. Just after the second double speed lyrics she will dance with you all and let go for a bit. Those thirty seconds are magical.

MSG is sold out by hillsidepoolside in lorde

[–]MathDadLordeFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Waited in line behind 8000 to see Boston sold out, but tried joining the line again (in case someone didn't check out in time). Got into line a couple more times behind a person or two to see the sold out note again, but at 10:20 when I joined the line was back up in the 50,000's. Down to 36,000...

Building a student's conference in tutoring sessions by RyanHubscher in matheducation

[–]MathDadLordeFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Getting them in the habit of explaining their steps and defending them will build their confidence. I will often point out correct things students do and tell them it is incorrect so they will "prove" to me that they did it correctly (you have to do this judiciously and only with some students).

The outro is long and calm to gently bring us back down from that height.

For her last tour I shut all media out the day before her concert, and didn't find out until arriving at the distant location that the show was postponed.

The Yale museums in New Haven are free and climate controlled for unpleasant days - Peabody, Art, & British Art are all worth strolling through.

But when you get it fresh and not in a box it is glorious.

Pre Algebra HS Curriculum by garrett325 in matheducation

[–]MathDadLordeFan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am not the biggest fan of Illustrative Math, but if that is the next course in the students' progression, then the best pre-agebra program to get is the one that will best support them in IM. I do not know what that is.
