Somehow, it is once again Monday. So, let’s celebrate this new week with some lovely twitter awesomeness from my fellow teachers around the world.
Circle Theorems Bulletin Board
Nicola Amies inspires with this beautiful, student-made circle theorems bulletin board
Exclamation Point Area Question
Calculus Teachers! Check out this exclamation point based area question from Simon Ball!

I really like this exponent and radicals task from Elysian Maths.

Gingerbread House Project
Also, how engaging is this lesson on surface area and volume using gingerbread houses?!?
Teaching Compound Inequalities with Transparencies
Kathryn D Koon shares another great idea that uses transparencies to teach compound inequalities through groupwork.
I Spy Math Activity
Also from Kathryn D Koon – an engaging game of “I Spy.” I’ve never seen this modified for math class before. How cool!

Teaching vectors? Check out this lesson from Amy Dusto involving popsicle sticks!
