Proof I am not a complete #AI hater, I used Gemini Notebook to make this video to teach probability to sixth-graders. It supplements the game, Sam Hates Farms, which will be out next week - youtu.be/Hy-IDB5iy9g #mathed #middleschoolmath

❓How many different trains of length 6 can your students build?

Fibonacci Trains uses Cuisenaire rods to turn building into patterns, tables, graphs, and rules, and students have to prove they found them all. 🔍

⚾ Batting average is a fraction in disguise! Students use real baseball cards to turn hits and at bats into decimals and percents, build a 100 square game card, then play for a hands-on lesson in probability: https://nctm.link/K0ctZ

💎 "By the 33rd generation—about 800 to 1,000 years ago—you have more than eight billion of them. That is more than the number of people alive today, and it is certainly a much larger figure than the world population a millennium ago." Explorable with #MiddleSchoolMath

A huge challenge in middle school math is eliminating all the tricks students have been taught along the way. Number sense and numeracy are key in a math classroom.
