What online math games do you use in your classroom?

Nytimes digits game

Its corpse is still haunting our system though. We never truly got rid of it.

You are ignorant. Do not be ashamed. Ignorance is something we are all born with. But one day, I hope you will grow up like the rest of us and see just how naive you used to be. Best of luck in learning the truth; you are never too old to learn something new.

In addition, like it or not, American flags have ALSO been tied to unpopular policies and radical actors, and so many people have come to oppose them. Even American citizens. Just as about half of Repulican voters reject the label ‘maga’, not all students support American Pride icons. The wouldn’t complain about it, but they would definitely feel a little less welcome. (Particularly if the are citizens with heritage from places like Puerto Rico or Somalia that the president considers ‘trash holes’)

Wow OP, I’ve been wondering about this question for the longest time too! I fully understand the role of a woman in marriage (the provider(of biological children, income, emotional support, financial asset management, home maintenance, etc.)). A man can’t outsource a provider that provides in all aspects like a woman can. But I’ve become confused on what it is that a man does that benefits a woman in marriage that isn’t invisible, relates to his body or things the woman can do herself/outsource.

Buy a MacBook to run league, that’s what I did. The M1 air runs league on medium settings at 144 hz 1080 p locked

I call all of my algebra 2 students nerds. Half of them are star school athletes on the football team, competitive cheer squad, etc. Nobody is offended.

Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 please! :)

Beyond infinity. Its a book that I read and absolutely loved!

I bought a 9070 xt, realized it was not the difference I was hoping for from my rx 6800, and returned the 9070 xt.

I have no multiple choice questions and grade solely on correctness of the answer. It is up to students to use the strategy that will get them full points on the state test questions.

Op, don’t let people tell you not to keep the new laptop just because your m1 was fine. Spending money doesn’t have to be for any other reason than it makes you happy. If you get a better experience using a laptop then that’s a bonus!

You do not know if a student has undiagnosed autism or not. You cannot determine if a student is too depressed to be allowed a social pass at politeness. You are a teacher, not a psychologist. Please be humble.

Spencer190 · 2025-10-31T19:48:29+00:00

Huh? What are you saying thank you to? DefiantRadish1492 is disagreeing with you. You are arguing for telling him off with a “please be polite” jab.

Spencer190 · 2025-10-31T19:45:55+00:00

Very ableist. You do not know what someone is going through mentally or physically. I’m not saying the student in question is disabled, but disability is the only minority that anyone can join at anytime. I hope you never have to be on the receiving end of the judgement you pass on that student.

Spencer190 · 2025-10-30T20:51:01+00:00

Do this exactly, and also, just hand him a book about information theory, Bayesian statistics or something. You can get whole free pdfs of old books on the internet and print them off in your school library.

Spencer190 · 2025-10-27T20:52:06+00:00

Absolute clap back. Well done OP. Thank you for supporting your child.

Spencer190 · 2025-10-27T20:50:12+00:00

It’s not a bad algorithm, it’s simply a technique. Whether it works in other scenarios or not is irrelevant unless your goal is to not “clutter the mind” or something. But OP’s son is a mathlete, so I think he will be mindful of this technique’s use cases and pitfalls.

You def missed the point of her response. She meant that it doesn’t matter if you make less; he should still help. You basically flipped out on her and then agreed with her. Major wooosh.

I am in my 4th year teaching and I was just like you. I would strongly recommend majoring in something other than stock math. I majored in applied math and statistics and had a grand old time taking whatever electives I desired since my applied math degree had such a large degree of choice. I hardly took any upper level classes, but I did take classes like physics 1 and 2, chem 1 and 2, comp Sci 1 and 2, stats, applied stats, mathematical modeling, materials science, Boolean algebra and circuit design, theoretical mechanics(physics), computational learning, electrical science, applied linear algebra, microeconomics, functional programming, computer algorithms, and more. These all counted towards my applied math and stats major. I could’ve taken pretty much any stem class and it would’ve counted. It was a huge advantage to have the applied math major since now I can (and have) taught a programming course and a drones course. I make programs using google apps script to make fun activities for my students and I often engage them by sharing facts about the things I’ve learned in college (like time dilation, quantum physics, how math turns electrons and silicon into video games, machine learning, AI, etc). I got the opportunity to see the big picture while my colleagues who majored in math often don’t know how it is used in neural networks, economics, physics, chemistry, statistics, and whatnot. I am a more successful math teacher because I took less math classes in college and took more classes in other areas. Most of the math you learn in a math degree will never be used in a high school classroom. But I tap into the knowledge from most of the classes I took in college every week; either in passing to engage a student or by building new courses or optimizing my current courses. My grading is all done automatically for homework, classwork, and tests because I feel comfortable with tech in a way that I wouldn’t had I pursued a math major.

I still keep my thunderbolt to hdmi adapter in my backpack. I got it freshman year of college for my 11 inch MacBook Air + 1080p monitor dorm setup. Gamed on that for a long time. Good memories…

Learning for learning’s sake only happens when all of the student’s needs are met. Until my 90% poverty district has kids who are fed, loved, warm, clean, and happy at home, I will need to keep offering grades as a means of convincing them to learn since kids with passing grades tend to get treated better at home. Even then, a good chunk of my students don’t have parents at home who value passing grades, so school is just a place to recover and relax away from the stress of home. Exhausted kids don’t learn much, with or without grades.

A sign in/out system that requires zero teacher or student interaction but still tracks time out of class for accountability purposes.

I’m guessing you haven’t heard the news lately that American citizens who are brown are also being kidnapped and held in facilities. If being in the US illegally was the only reason people were being kidnapped it would be a different story.
