The hour approaches…

  • Which One Doesn’t Belong?

    This is Which One Doesn’t Belong?, a website dedicated to providing thought-provoking puzzles for math teachers and students alike. There are no answers provided as there are many different, correct ways of choosing which one doesn’t belong. Enjoy!

  • Solving word problems using tape diagrams – The Other Math Tape diagrams are especially useful for modeling addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, fractions, and ratios/proportions. might work in wel lwith Number Talks, or be a break from them.
  • Those Circle Things – Blue Cereal Education Nice way to start discussion, 4 things, which one is different… no right answer..

    You probably figured out pretty quickly that there’s usually more than one solution to which one doesn’t fit and why. These aren’t multiple choice questions with one objectively “correct” answer. It’s the process of examining each item in comparison with the others that forces us to review what we already know, reinforces the information we use to argue whatever point we choose to make as a result, stretches our understanding of each item a bit, and lays the groundwork for actual analysis and argument should we eventually go there.

WordPress

  • WordPress Playground

    Experience a WordPress that runs entirely in your browser.
    …WordPress Playground makes WordPress instantly accessible for users, learners, extenders, and contributors.

    And

    Even more insane and amazing, Ella van Durpe used WordPress Playground as the basis for a new note-taking app for iOS and macOS. Blocknotes is a stripped down version of WordPress that lets you create notes like you would create posts in WordPress.

  • Town Square

    Town Square is a generative sculpture, animated with slow-paced movement. The work is code-based and runs live in the browser. A random seed was chosen by the artist, cementing the generative shape of the sculpture. A looping video file for exhibition purposes can be provided upon request. Made with html, css, javascript, and three.js. Creator Anna Lucia

    I am often impressed with various html/css/javascript art ideas, this is a lovely one. I’ve occasionally taken baby steps, usually in response to the Daily Create.

  • Let Me Google That I recall an old flash thing that did this. Just need a silly question now…

A group of 6 Red Deer, 4 stags in velvet and 2 hinds. 5 out of the 6 are looking at the camera.

A red Deer Fawn, side on, head turned to look at the camera
Between Beinn Bhrec & Ben Reoch
Deer grazing, 50 yds ahead, I stop for a couple of snaps, they move off slowly, pausing. In front of me a fawn approaches to 20 yards, then stops & stares. I watch a moment then move to send it after the adults. 4 stags in velvet & 2 hinds.

Watched: Your website is a slow, bloated, carbon-belching monstrosity

I watched this on Reclaim Open Online, I can not see how to link there so YouTube.

An enjoyable and realistic watch. I occasionally though about running my Pi off solar. But I live in a flat and hardware is not my favourite thing, maybe one day…

live your life be happy um make better websites for people not really because it’s going to save the world, because it’s not. Capitalism is the problem not JavaScript libraries…

and at the start:

if you’ve ever seen this article which I kind of like it lets you know that your personal carbon footprint was a little slogan developed by an ad agency at the request of British Petroleum to help make you feel guilty for stuff that larger and like commercial interests do so with that maybe you don’t have to feel guilty about whether you recycle or not or whether your websites are particularly fast energy efficient but I would argue that you want to do it anyway because you care about stuff like this accessibility… 1

I used the youTube auto generated transcript for the quotes, tweaked then a bit.  I wonder if there is a way to search these rather than copy them out to a text editor and search there…
