Can high school & college students find a rule of thumb for converting btwn hourly rate and annual salary? What is the Rule of 72? Can you model buying power if inflation is more than rate of wage growth?

Can middle and elem school students estimate cost of living in their town?

#mtbos #iteachmath
Happy #LaborDay! Some #mathisfun #mathAndSociety problems to consider.
(elem) Using @usbls.bsky.social data & asking parents re: rent, utilities, food, etc., how far does a salary go?
(middle) Estimate hours in a work year; what is hourly wage?
(high) Explore wage and inflation rates of growth.

What a #mathisfun time at @weaverstreetmarket.bsky.social w/a smart & engaged 5-yr-old. We estimated then counted grapes, playedJumping Julia, a #JuliaRobinsonMatgFestival jrmf.org game, & tried ‘Which One Doesn’t Belong’ by C Danielson talkingmathwithkids.com/shop/which-o... . #mtbos #iteachmath

The teacher, Chris Bolognese, is a friend of mine. He's brilliant at math and also a musician. He tutors a number of @trianglemath.bsky.social students; I'm excited that he's developing and teaching these classes for Mathematics Institute of the Triangle! #mtbos #iteachmath #mathCompetition #AMC
Our competition math class starts on Wednesday! Contact us via trianglemathinstitute.com to register; we likely will close registration this weekend for AMC 10/12 test prep class (test is Nov 5 or 13; our class goes Sep 9, 16, 23, 30, Oct 7, 14, 21, 28, and Nov 4). AMC 8 class starts Nov 11. #mtbos

What a nice group of 1st-3rd graders (even a preK and a K!) we had at Chapel Hill #mathCircle ! We discussed estimating. One child gave me a heartwarming card! #mtbos #iteachmath #mathisfun

After level 1 at @trianglemath.bsky.social I taught 2 other exciting classes on Friday, level 4 & a virtual level 3 w/ West Coast students and a few East Coast ones too. The Vibe board technology worked great! On to the first 1st-3rd grade #mathCircle at UNC tomorrow! #mtbos #iteachmath #mathisfun

What a #mathisfun level 1 class @trianglemath.bsky.social w/smart 1st graders! We played Dice Bingo (a jrmf.org #JuliaRobinsonMathFestival game) and talked about Noticing & Wondering @nctm.org. We did some fun counting & impressive adding and started thinking of partition problem #mtbos #iteachmath

My class at @trianglemath.bsky.social is ready for tomorrow's level 2 & algebra. For prealgebra & up. student binders have space for notes/homework, then each week's in-class problems & solns, then 'hardest problems' where students carefully document & write their own reference #mtbos #iteachmath

I like this explanation by Marcus Maths Tutor of the (#vegan) Ham Sandwich Theorem or Pancake Theorem, aka Two-Dimensional Cake Cutting with a Hole. #mtbos #iteachmath #mathisfun

I'm excited that @trianglemath.bsky.social has grown from math to including language arts last year and now to have programming and competition math. The first Python class was well-received! #mtbos #iteachmath #mathisfun
Our Programming with Python class is underway! Mathinst.Com/catalog has our catalog of classes.

@weaverstreetmarket.bsky.social did a great job hosting Vege-Palooza, helping to share such great information & food Saturday! I enjoyed two @pcrm.org FFL classes with new instructor Kanesha; we worked with app 10 for a Healthy Basics class & app 20 for a kids class (chocolate mousse!) #vegan #wfpb

So many good deals at @weaverstreetmarket.bsky.social today including on my favorite hot sauce brand Yellow Bird. Though I shopped as usual at the Carrboro store, Saturday I’m doing two free #wfpb #vegan @pcrm.org Food for Life classes (free!) at the Raleigh store!

Another exciting shipment of amazing #organic cherries from Chukar Cherries chukar.com - 21 bags (5.4ozs each) for about $300. They’re so good!!

Another regular dinner - #organic #vegan #wfpb as usual. Black beans with avocado and slowly roasted bell pepper mixed with freshly blended cashew based vegan ‘cheese’ sauce, sungold tomato (like candy - better!), and blackened shishito pepper.

After a few days of travel with some good #vegan meals (esp. on Wednesday at Twelfthmonth in Burlingame, California - excellent!), it’s great to be cooking back in my kitchen inventing new dishes as usual!

Starting around Iowa through much of the rest of the flight home to North Carolina we had some dramatic lightning north of us!

What nice mountainous views when we departed Seattle about 5 hours ago! I bet I was the only one in first class (or any class) carrying Walla Walla onions! (purchased yesterday at Natural Grocers) #organic #WallaWalla #onions #airtravel

I found Jabbrrbox work pods at SEA airport during my layover! ✈️ I didn't try one, they expensive side but look useful for a quiet space to work between flights. 🏔️💼jabbrrbox.com#Travel #SEA #Aviation

We had beautiful views over Willamette Valley enroute to my Seattle layover heading home to RDU! ✈️🌲Majestic Cascades: Mt. Hood (11k'), St. Helens (8k'), Adams (12k'). Near SEA, we saw Kittitas wind turbines by Mt. Rainier (14k'). That big smoke plume is regional #WildfireSeason haze! 🏔️💨#PNW #RDU

What a cool idea at the Eugene, OR airport - a short story to go dispensing machine! @durhamcountylib.bsky.social, this would be great to implement at RDU and maybe elsewhere! www.eugene-or.gov/4939/Short-S...
