Monday Must Reads: Volume 79

It’s time for another volume of Monday Must Reads! I have to admit that I’m not as excited for this Monday as I am for some since it marks the official end of Spring Break. Now, it’s time for a mad rush to get through as much content as possible before summer begins in 10 weeks. Due to us having to shift multiple times from face-to-face to virtual learning, I am behind where I should be.

If you’re new around here, Monday Must Reads is my weekly-ish attempt at the amazing ideas shared by (mostly) math teachers on twitter. I find these ideas inspiring, and I hope you will, too!

Bubble Gum Boxplots

These bubble gum boxplots from Miss Kauffmann look like so much fun. I would have a value of 0, though, because I have never learned to blow a bubble with bubble gum.
