🟡 107 years a prize was awarded

The @Brewers sweep the Dogers 4-0 and clinched a spot in the World Series last night. If the chances of winning were a coin flip (50/50), how likely is a 4–0 sweep?
Let me know in the comments. Solution posted later. #WorldSeries#Brewers@MLB
The best PD session I facilitated this summer started with teachers doing the math, not hearing about it. @Amplify
What's the best PD moment you've had this fall? Let me know below 👇 #MathEd#ProfessionalDevelopment
Three months as an Amplify Desmos Math facilitator taught me one thing about teacher PD:
Teachers learn math teaching by doing the math, not by hearing about it.
The sessions that land aren't the ones with the best slides. They're the ones where teachers work a task together,
AI can do your students’ math homework. It can’t tell them how many times they checked their phone today. 📱
Only students have that data.

Today is the last day of Hispanic Heritage Month. Our classrooms are richer for the languages, stories and ways of thinking Hispanic and Latino students and families bring. Every student deserves to see themselves in what they learn. The month ends; the celebrating doesn’t. 💛 #HispanicHeritageMonth
Students ask "Who does math?" more often than we think.
Lathisms highlights a Latinx or Hispanic mathematician every day of Hispanic Heritage Month. Students pick one and share what surprised them.
Who's a mathematician you introduce to your class?
