In temporary absence of my coworker who takes care of our 3D printers, I took over this part of our STEM infrastructure. A good time to get into it.
Both machines needed some TLC (clogged nozzles). To see if I did it right I dove into Thingiverse.

#youmightbeaham if you 3D-print things like dipole center insulators...

Seems to be working FB. Now I should master the CAD software to design such things myself.

3D printed dipole center insulators, design comes right off the Thingiverse website.

@futurebird Since we’re talking about flipping coins, and odds, I’d like to share a fun challenge I gave one of my classes many years ago (it’s getting to the point that any teaching story is many years ago 😒).

I gave them a grid of, I think, 10 x 10 = 100 squares and told them I wanted them to take the sheet home and do one of two things:

Either
1. Flip a coin 100 times and record H or T as appropriate, in order, on the grid.
or
2. Fake it, just fill in the squares with H’s or T’s, but try to make it look like you flipped a coin.

I think I told them in advance that when they brought the sheets back, I would be able to tell who faked it and who actually flipped the coins.

Okay, memory is fuzzy on actual numbers, but there were something like 25 sheets turned in, around 1/3 faked. I successfully identified the genuine and fake attempts for 23 of the sheets, and misidentified one of each.

Not bad, eh? All I did was look for long runs of either H or T, like four or five in a row. If the sheet had one, I judged it genuine, if it didn’t, I judged it a fake. When people think they are simulating a random process, long runs of one result are seen as more improbable than they actually are.

I wish I could remember what the actual lesson connection was - I wasn't a math teacher at the time πŸ˜„

Happy (Belated) World Teacher’s Day, especially to the primary teachers, who have to be a little more flexible than the rest of us πŸ˜„

Sometimes I play music while I wait for students to join classes, and the Otter transcripts of the lyrics make me wish I was a musician, and able to create new songs based on them

(This was "Fire it Up" by Modest Mouse)

A screenshot of an Otter.ai transcript, that shows the time markers (the number) and the lyric it heard. (If you're using a screen reader and the copy makes no sense, the transcript itself is nonsensical.)

@StudyMaths @CharlotteHawthorne
Haha Jonathan at least I won't jump to erroneous conclusions over here like I did on TW.
What I'm noticing is that it *isn't* initially obvious that the products would be equal... so I think this is a wonderful prompt to get Ss to notice that and justify why it is so.
