#classroommath #mtechat one of the main objectives with preservice teachers is to work on the practice of eliciting student thinking. What advice do you have for them? How did you get better at it? What are you working on now?

I need some good “this is why collaboration is important” activities for a bunch of seniors that mostly know each other. Any good second day activities? #mtbos #iteachmath #classroommath #iteachphysics

Listen to student thinking with an ear for the mathematical goal of the lesson… we should be thinking about the math story the classroom discussion is telling. How do student responses & representations connect to tell that story? #MTEchat #ClassroomMath

Thus, for EVERY prime p > 3, either p-1 or p+1 must be divisible by 6.
How often? ALL THE TIME.

That was fun! Please share how you thought about it. And check out January Calendar of problems for more #ProblemSolving
#MTBoS #iTeachMath #ClassroomMath #MathChat #MathSky #RecreationalMath

Let p be any prime greater than 3. How often will either of the integers p+1 or p-1 be divisible by 6?
