I'm hearing about the Numworks graphing calculator for the first time and wondering if it's worth a try. They send free devices to teachers


Question for #iteachmath: when sharing planning with colleagues for common courses, do you share a detailed daily plan, or everyone teaches the agreed upon topic for the day using possibly various resources/activities?


Huh, turns out the spinning mechanism for this cube was fixed and reinstalled today. It's a good example of a solid of revolution (or is it?) abc7ny.com/cube-astor-pla…
