August 7, 2017 by Tammy Jones

Will you be celebrating August 15, 2017?  Why, you may ask?This question makes a great bell ringer or writing prompt for MS/HS math students –even for those who have not yet studied the Pythagorean Theorem.

Palindromes can also be numbers. 121 is still 121 if read from the other direction. Time & Date says: A … [Read more...]

NCTM, San Francisco

My colleagues and I really enjoyed your presentation at NCTM.  We have already convinced our principal to pre-order us copies of your new book, but we would also like 4 class sets of the pyramids.
