Hi teachers and parents 👋 I have complied a short list of useful online maths tools and virtual manipulatives to assist you with distance learning. I have included the curriculum area and suggested what class group they would be most suitable for. See below! #mathschat #edchatie

 This website allows you to create a graph. Useful for 5th/6th class. Children can create pie charts, bar charts, etc. adding in their own data and designing and labelling the X and Y axis themselves. Charts are easily saved.

https://t.co/IWUXBHhI1H
Online protractor. Useful for 5th/6th class. The teacher can use screen sharing to how to use a protractor. Children who do not have a protractor at home can use this to measure angles.

https://t.co/cQJ7FwxRsz
Exploring area and perimeter. Useful for 4th - 6th class. Tasks can be set to create shapes of a specific area/perimeter. There is also a game that can be used for formative assessment!

https://t.co/nwmIj7OcB5
Interactive geo-board. Useful for 1st - 6th class for exploring perimeter and area and the characteristics of shapes. Images can be saved easily to be shared with the teacher via email, screen share etc.

https://t.co/g5QAU5P9MZ
Interactive fraction wall. Useful for 3rd - 6th class. May help children who are struggling to visualise the part-whole relationship. It is also a good tool for teachers to screen-share as it can stimulate discussion around fractions.

https://t.co/cexCs7GNgM
Interactive fraction wall with percentages and decimals. Useful for 5th and 6th class. It may help students explore the relationship between fractions, decimals and percentages.

https://t.co/5PhWhy4Fsi
Halves and quarters game. Recommended for 2nd/ 3rd class. Students have to examine the visual and recognise what fraction is shaded. It can be played on a laptop, iPad or smartphone. The teacher can set the game to last for up to 10 minutes.

https://t.co/1ZOwgcgtLP
Interactive clock. Useful for 1st - 3rd class. It is a virtual manipulative useful for teaching the time. The analogue clock's hands can be moved to show different times. There is also an option to turn on the digital clock and compare the times shown.

https://t.co/vln8J76N6U
Self-correcting multiplication quizzes. 3rd class onwards. Does exactly what it says on the tin!

https://t.co/mSFq21RSKx
Interactive 100 square. Useful for 1st class onwards. Can be used as a virtual manipulative and screen-shared for group teaching. The teacher can 'hide' numbers and the students have to fill in the blanks. Useful for teaching skip counting!

https://t.co/9y5tESwk5z
Interactive clock to teach 'earlier' and 'later'. 1st/ 2nd class onwards! Students have to set a clock to show a time that is (for example) 20 minutes later than the time shown on another clock. Students can check their own answers as they go.

https://t.co/BTsCoe0Ovh
This website gives a list of interactive sites for maths games/ manipulatives, and lists them by curriculum area. Be aware that many of them require flash, which is not supported by most browsers!

https://t.co/0BLaQl9Zql
This website has some *excellent* maths puzzles which will help to develop problem-solving skills. Useful for 4th - 6th class. Students could collaborate in breakout rooms to encourage maths talk! It includes magic squares, roman numeral jigsaws, etc.

https://t.co/5owNvaFEZB
Number jigsaws. 1st/ 2nd class. Students drag the jigsaws onto a frame so that the numbers appear in order. A lot harder than it looks. Excellent for exploring number order and place value. Could be used as a warm-up activity or for early finishers!

https://t.co/5sPrXqbovT
Five a day! A personal favourite - useful for 2nd/ 3rd/ 4th class. Five new maths problems are released every day. Children can choose to do the five easiest (bronze level) or hardest (silver/gold/platinum). Questions revise all areas of the curriculum!

https://t.co/7sK57oQcgq
Junior/ Senior Infants maths games here. A really nice bus game where you count the students getting on and off the bus (sums up to 10) and a 2d shapes game!

https://t.co/8MPTfCkh8K
"Which doesn't belong?" 3rd class onwards. Children find the odd number/shape. Excellent for stimulating maths discussion that can be lost in remote learning. These are low floor, high ceiling maths tasks with many correct answers!

https://t.co/60oFaj0zxO
Problem Solving. 3rd class onwards. This website has 80 challenges which students can carry out using little/no equipment. The challenges encourage group work/family involvement & could be used as homework tasks. They are also google classroom compatible.

https://t.co/LRTv49Wz6n
Place Value. 1st/ 2nd class. Interactive dienes (base ten) blocks and an interactive abacus. May be useful to teach place value, or as an 'online' assistant for those struggling with renaming or place value who usually have blocks to help them!
https://t.co/3BoSI8qySQ
Number. Junior Infants - 6th class. This interactive number line can be used with just natural numbers e.g. 1-10, or with fractions and negative numbers! It is easily customised, saved/ shared and can be used to supplement many areas!
https://t.co/qIQOickhH4
Number. Junior Infants to first class. For teachers who are using number frames (or ten frames) with their class - this is an interactive tool which you can use for teaching addition, subtraction and exploring the story of a number.

https://t.co/IJS5hqdN8W
Renaming/ subtraction. 1st- 2nd class. These interactive dienes blocks (base ten blocks) will help all those parents/ teachers who are struggling to assist children with renaming! The next best thing to having the concrete manipulatives beside you.

https://t.co/c5Tunv9Y3c
Multiplication/Division. 3rd /4th class. This can be used to explore the associative & commutative properties of multiplication, i.e. 4 x 2 = 2 x 4, and 2 x 2 x 3 = 4 x 3. Also great for division. Would recommend using as a stimulus for group discussion!

https://t.co/SWkiNTfXxl
Number. Junior infants. What is the same and what is different? A series of images of animals/ objects, the children have to point out what is the same and what is different. Great for prompting online discussion! A favourite of mine!

SCOOP: Seattle Public Schools tells teachers that the education system is guilty of “spirit murder” against black children and that white teachers must “bankrupt [their] privilege in acknowledgement of [their] thieved inheritance.”

Let's review the whistleblower documents.👇

The trainers begin by claiming that teachers are colonizers of Native American "ancestral lands" and that “the United States was built off the stolen labor of kidnapped and enslaved Black people’s work, which created the profits that created our nation.”


The participants identify themselves by both gender pronouns and race labels. While it has become commonplace in academia to use gender pronoun identifiers, this is perhaps the first example of an institution creating the expectation for explicit race-labeling in the workplace.


The trainers tell white teachers that they "must commit to the journey" of anti-whiteness, even if their "lizard-brain" makes them "afraid that [they] will have to talk about sensitive issues such as race, racism, classism, sexism, or any kind of ‘ism.’"


The central message is that white teachers must recognize that they “are assigned considerable power and privilege” because of their “possession of white skin.” To atone for this guilt, they must “bankrupt [their] privilege in acknowledgement of [their] thieved inheritance.”

As you may know, asides sharing graduate school opportunities, I like to share practical insights and directional content that will give you a sense of what you are missing or not missing.

Serving you below:

HOW TO LEVERAGE "OPO" for grad school applications 👇

- A THREAD

2) OPO is an initialism coined from "Other People's Opportunities". This means you will be leveraging opportunities specific to others to your advantage. After this thread, you will stop asking:

"Can you share scholarships for Atmospheric Social Law"? 😂

(you get the drift).

3) PROCESS:

A) Once someone shares an opportunity. Say @olumuyiwaayo, @Jamaticulus or @AaronAkpuPhilip or myself shares an opportunity on our timeline, the first thing to do is to locate the name of the university and the country it is located.

4) (B) Type the name of the institution on Google and locate the website of your department. Often times, if there is a mass recruitment by the institution at the time you saw the ad, its likely there is something for prospective student looking to get into your department.

5) If otherwise, that is, if the ad you saw was particular to the advertised field, the leverage you have is that you are informed about the institution and you have the privilege to dig faculties.

(C) List the names of probable supervisors on the department's website.

1/9 - “In the second wave we acquired much more evidence that schoolchildren are almost equally, if not more infected by SARS-CoV-2 than others.”

2/9 - “The problem is not that schools are unsafe for children,” Mr. Boris Johnson said last week. “The problem is schools may nonetheless act as vectors for transmission, causing the virus to spread between households.”

3/9 - “An antibody survey conducted by researchers in Geneva in May and December, using thousands of random samples, found that children of age 6 to 18 were getting infected as often as young adults. The study has yet to be peer reviewed.”

4/9 - “One reason for this: The Swiss city’s schools have been open since the summer, while restrictions have been placed on adults, meaning schoolchildren played a bigger role in transmitting the virus during the autumn surge.”

5/9 - “In Austria, a nationwide survey by universities and medical institutes found that children under 10 showed a similar rate of infection to those between 11 and 14, and that the children in general were getting infected as often as teachers.”

with all good intentions, the result is not very useful: "Predatory journals and publishers are entities that prioritize self-interest at the expense of scholarship and .. 1/

... are characterized by false or misleading information, deviation from best editorial and publication practices, a lack of transparency, and/or the use of aggressive and indiscriminate solicitation practices.” 2/

one of mistakes I think the consensus model made is that it has too much circular bootstrapping. Something is predatory because what we do not find predatory is not. E.g. the point about transparency. Just check how "transparent" some major publishers are in @RetractionWatch. 3/

the "best editorial and publication practices" turns out to focus on same basic agreements, mostly among publishers, and not really about doing quality science. It's an administrative rule. 4/

"Aggressive, indiscriminate solicitation" is also a rule really hard to apply. Elsevier repeatedly breaks this rule, and other more traditional publishers do too, tho at a lower frequency. Do the authors want to claim Elsevier is a predatory publisher? 5/

Technical Analysis Masterclass- Part 2

'Entering the trade'

Entering a trade without ascertaining a certain things is gambling.

In this masterclass we will learn the pre-requisites to enter a trade.

DON'T ENTER A TRADE WITHOUT DETERMINNG THE FOLLOWING.

Please share.

We understand what reward to risk (popularly called risk to reward) is.
It will be denoted by R:R.

We will also try to bust a few myths about R:R and how to avoid losing trades.

Before entering a trade, you need to determine 3 things.

1. Entry trigger
2. Stop loss
3. Target

1. Entry trigger = Reasons for entering a trade. There could be multiple reasons or a single reason for entry.

Generally a set of reasons AKA confluence is a higher probability trade and a generally a safer entry.

Example of an entry trigger.


2. Stop Loss.

The price in the opposite direction of the trade where the trade is exited, at a loss.

At this level, the reason for the entry becomes invalidated according to TA and the price can then move in the opposite direction, probabilistically.


3. Target is the possible price level that the asset might touch based on previous trends or confluence AND where a possible reversal could occur.

Target is the next path of least resistance from where the price might reverse.

We will always ONLY use TA to determine all 3.

IT WAS RISHI KANADA WHO GAVE THE ATOMIC THEORY & TALKED ABOUT THE GRAVITY OF EARTH, 2600 YEARS BEFORE AN APPLE FELL IN FRONT OF NEWTON'S EYES:

Scientists of the modern world credit an English scientist John Dalton (1766 CE -1844 CE) for the Atomic Theory.


And this is because, most of us are not even aware of an ancient Indian Sage named Kanada, who was the first to formulate the theory of atoms, almost 2600 yrs before Dalton and talk about earth's gravity.


Rishi Kanada was born around 600 BCE in Dwarka, Gujarat and he was the son of a philosopher named Ulka. He was fascinated with the minute detailing of the things right from his childhood. Once, when he was very young, he accompanied his father on a journey to Prayaga.


He saw plentiful grains scattered along the path leading to the shore of river Ganga. It's a tradition in Hindu families to scatter the grains for the ants and birds to feed on them. Suddenly, an ant caught his attention, who was feeding on a rice grain.


He was mesmerised by this very fact that how a small grain of rice becomes food for the ant but to satisfy the hunger of a person so many grains are needed together. This incidence made him realize the importance of a single grain of rice.

A brief thread on Jovan Hutton Pulitzer, the crazy con man who is now claiming to have hacked into the Georgia voting machines in Fulton County. 90s kids and tech aficionados might remember Jovan as the inventor of the CueCat, the dumbest gadget of all time.

Also, for anyone who wants to claim that Jovan Hutton Pulitzer (not his given name, but one he changed legally after the CueCat debacle) invented QR Codes: he did not. Like that other right-wing crazy man who claimed to have invented email, Jovan didn’t invent QR Codes.

He did invent the CueCat, a product that somehow raised $185 million dollars for a tethered barcode scanner for magazines and newspapers, so you could get ads from your ads. As I said, the dumbest product of all time. Good backup barcode scanners after they were hacked, however

Oh, that’s another thing. When CueCat was a thing, its systems were hacked. I guess that’s what makes Jovan a security expert. His bankrupt company from 20 years ago was hacked and widely mocked. He’s a genius.

In recent years, Jovan pivoted to being a treasure hunter who was featured on and widely mocked on Curse of Oak Island, because the man is insane.

A #story from #Thiruvilayadal puranam-one of divine leelas of Bhagwan Shiva

#threadseries #Madurai

Story 16- it is about how Bhagwan Shiva explained the meaning of Vedas to the Rishis.

வேதத்துக்குப் பொருள் அருளிச் செய்த படலம்


Once there was a great deluge,everything in the world was destroyed.All lifeforms that existed got perished.Afterwards ,due to Bhagwan Shiva creation started.Then from Bhagwan Shiv ji's mouth-birth of 🕉 OM- Pranavam happened.From Pranavam,4 vedas appeared. Rishis learned them.

Many Rishis in Naimisharanya learned Vedas&recited them but they didn't understand the meaning&essence of Vedas. They were worried as they couldn't find any guru who can teach them the meaning of Vedas.That time,Rishi Arabhatar visited them.Rishis told him about need their worry.

Rishi Arabhatar told them that Bhagwan Shiva has given Vedas &he would be grateful enough to teach the meaning as well.But for that rishis have to rigorous penance at a sacred place.Also told them to go to Sundareswarar temple in Madurai to do tapas in front of Dakshinamurthy.

Assured them that Dakshinamurthy himself will come & teach them.Rishis proceeded to Madurai & started their tapas in front of Dakshinamurthy sannidhi for almost a year starting from Karthigai month pournami to next year Karthigai month pournami following all rituals..annadan
