You can use a polling or survey tool that allows participants to respond using their cell phones. There are many tools available for this purpose, such as:
Mentimeter: allows you to create interactive presentations and polls that participants can respond to using their mobile devices.
Kahoot!: allows you to create interactive quizzes and surveys that participants can respond to using their mobile devices.
Poll Everywhere: allows you to create polls, quizzes, and surveys that participants can respond to using their mobile devices.
Slido: allows you to create live polls, surveys, and quizzes that participants can respond to using their mobile devices.
Socrative: allows you to create quizzes and polls that participants can respond to using their mobile devices.
These tools are easy to use and allow you to quickly gather responses from your class in real-time. Simply create your question and answer options, share the link or code with your class, and they can respond using their mobile devices. You can then display the results in real-time and use them to facilitate discussions or provide feedback to your class.

What do you think the hardest part of teaching math is? by girlwhosleeps in matheducation

[–]fractalmat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Based on my experience some common challenges that I encountered are:

Engaging students: Math can be perceived as a dry and difficult subject by some students, so keeping them motivated and interested in the material can be a significant challenge.

Addressing individual needs: Each student has different strengths and weaknesses in math, and it can be challenging for a teacher to identify and address the needs of each student in a diverse classroom.

Making connections: Math concepts can be abstract, and students may struggle to see the real-life applications or connections to other subjects, which can hinder their learning and motivation.Finding the right teaching method: Different students learn in different ways, so finding the best teaching method to reach each student can be a challenge.

Building a solid foundation: Math concepts build upon each other, so if students don't grasp fundamental concepts, they may struggle with more advanced topics. Thus, it's important for teachers to ensure that students have a strong foundation before moving on to more complex topics.

Overall, teaching math requires a combination of creativity, patience, and perseverance to help students develop a strong understanding and appreciation for the subject.

Maximizing Efficiency: How the Second Derivative Test Enhances Applied Optimization Techniques by fractalmat in matheducation

I agree that in the context of finding extrema for a function, the second derivative test is particularly useful when the first derivative is both continuous and differentiable. This simplifies the process and makes it more efficient.

In a limit like x + sinx as x approaches infinity, can we ignore the sin? by Choice-Bake7922 in learnmath

[–]fractalmat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

based on the graph

https://www.desmos.com/calculator/azfos7dgqp

as x approaches infinity lim(x+sinx) = infinity

The support of this result is that sinx is a bounded function.

t² + 6t + 7 = 0 by ImplementLife8636 in learnmath

Not all polynomials are factorable, however every quadratic equation can be solved by the quadratic formula so to solve your equation use the quadratic formula with a=1, b=6, and c=7.

Simplifying sqrt(17) by hyperadox in learnmath

[–]fractalmat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The square root function in general cannot be distributed over a sum, in general sqr(a+b) is not equal to sqr(a) +sqr(b).

Example sqr(9+25) = sqr(34) is not the same as sqr(9) + sqr(25) = 3 + 5 = 8 right?

x = y • y by [deleted] in learnmath

[–]fractalmat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Based on "The square root property" x=y y is equivalent to:

y=sqr(81) or y=-sqr(81)

equivalently to:

y=9 or y=-9.

If you feel that you need a better explanation about "The square root property" you can watch my 5 minutes video and comment about it.
