Math Game Monday: Integer Solitaire
This game gives upper-elementary and middle school children plenty of practice adding and subtracting integers. It's a fun challenge for adults, too!

RONALD REAGAN (1988): We should be aware of the demagogues who are ready to declare a trade war against our friends, weakening our economy, our national security, and the entire free world—all while cynically waving the American flag.
So two NFL games today between playoff teams and both had lopsided results. Why would the selection committee do this when Bama was available.
People sometimes make fun of science that sounds stupid and random.
Meanwhile, a study of lizard saliva turned into a peptide medication, which was turned into a diabetes medication, which was turned into a GLP1 weight loss drug, that just became the first therapy every approved for … sleep apnea
I plan to use these prompts as a warm-up in my Math for Teachers class for our investigations of statistics this Spring. ♾️
These are great!
Thinking about using these in my Math for Teachers class in the Spring. Bradley students have iPads, so it seems like an easy adaption. Might be fun! ♾️
Hi Adam, I take your point that the quadratic formula can be presented in a way that does not inspire understanding or affection. And it sounds like that's how it was taught to you. So let me try to make a better case for it. Here's how I discussed it in my book The Joy of x. (1/9)

I had enough fun with the middle school problem that I wanted to solve the other two!
I enjoyed your commentary on CU. I’ve also found number lines to be somewhat hit or miss. My preservice teachers have, however, connected fairly well with using integer chips to understand computation with negative numbers.
Baby scholar steps! I am so happy to achieve the first milestone of 100 citations on Google Scholar 😍 If you are interested in gender and sexuality research in mathematics education, check my work #iteachmath #mathsky #science
We should embrace the fact that area models with Whole Numbers, Mixed Numbers and Pure Decimals are all exactly the same.

I enjoyed the consideration retrieval practice and spiral review.

I have quite a few squares memorized, 20x20 among them, which is 400. Then, I have one too many 20s, so 400-20=380. ♾️
Math is everywhere, and so are we! NCTM is now on Bluesky, bringing teaching tips, resources, and a whole lot of number love. Let’s add some fun! ✨

Day 4 of a ♾️ #iteachmath version paired with a personal life version.
And now I realized I read that wrong. For some reason I read the message of “kids who do well are less likely to get caught than kids who struggle”. Oops.
I like this comparison as it can explain some breaks that great teams get—refs are predisposed to expect good things out of elite players. It’s frustrating, but more representative of incompetence and human error than conspiracy.
In this case, I think the metaphor is the school system rigging the cheating. Unless you think the Chiefs pay off the refs? Again, enjoy the win! Winning is fun, and we’ll probably get a rematch that should be just as entertaining.
Enjoy the win! I’m pretty skeptical of conspiratorial thinking that a small market team is going to have games rigged for them. I recall a huge play overturned on a penalty last year against the Bills (and it was rightfully a penalty then, too).
The following play wiped out a huge gain on the ground by Mahomes. It’s a priority to give them a leg up one play, but not the next?
Either way, Bills looked impressive. Smart to go for it on 4th and 2 to seal the win.
Same story different game for k staters… woof
