That took longer than intended ... but persistence paid off and I got there in the end.

Someone in the @TMiP WhatsApp group told me about a TikTok game where you're shown a sequence of five numbers, and have to guess what order they go in.

I've made my own version of it: https://somethingorotherwhatever.com/number-order-game/

"Order those numbers! You'll be shown five numbers, between 100 and 999. Try to guess what order the numbers will go in, from smallest to biggest." I'm shown 995, 164, 706, 576 and 227, and place them in 5th, 1st, 4th, 3rd and 2nd positions. Then it says "You did it!"

Holding fire to see whether or not a trailing "s" was needed ... that did the trick here.

Today is a good day for #ProblemSolving !
Here are 3 nice ones from the April Calendar of Problems; try them out & share your ideas.

#MTBoS #iTeachMath #MathEd #MathsEd #MathChat #Geometry #Algebra
Check out more problems at:
https://karendcampe.wordpress.com/2024/04/01/april-calendar-problems-2/

April 12: If f(x) = x^2 + bx + c, f(1) = 9, and f(3) - f(2) = 8, Find f(4)
April 3: A circle is inscribed in a square whose side is 10. A second smaller circle is drawn tangent to the first circle and tangent to two sides of the square. Find the diameter of the smaller circle.

When I went to graduate school, I had to be revaccinated for measles. They told me that people vaccinated between 1963 and 1967 received a faulty dose and may NOT be protected. Please do what's necessary to protect yourself NOW before something bad happens.

Asking on behalf of a friend ...

Is there anyone reading this who could give a talk on "Math(s) and Artificial Intelligence"?

It would need to be aimed at a general audience, so while the material itself doesn't need to be deep, the person giving the talk would need to have some first-hand experience of the actual math(s) that's involved.

Anyone?

If you're comfortable doing so, please boost for reach ... Mastodon-the-platform relies on networking effects.

Many thanks.

Interesting commentary on online grading portals, parenting, & relative focus on grades vs. learning.

{Responding to @geoffkrall post about how AI seems to always miss the mark on simple math stuff}

I don't know why people expect Large Language Models to be good at math.
It's like when our students just memorize tons of problems without any deep conceptual understanding and spit back whatever they think of first...

I've added one more thing to my newest blog post "Shout Out for Squares!"

It's the "dividing a square into rectangles" discussion that happened here a few months back, with @johncarlosbaez and @Mathforlove highlighted. THANKS!!

Happy SEVENS day (7-14! Or 14-7 for those who use DDMM) and here's my 2021 post celebrating Super Sevens!

A wonderful explanation from Grant Sanderson 3Bue1Brown about the divided circle problem & the reasoning WHY there are 31 regions with 6 points (not 32 as pattern might suggest).

https://youtu.be/YtkIWDE36qU

I'm really excited because I've never seen this explained before & the connections are wonderful! (I've only ever seen it as an example of not assuming patterns continue with only inductive reasoning evidence... I think HS math Ss can grasp this by algebra 2...)
