I have finally made it to real time and cleared most of my bookmarks from the last year. Here are my favourites from August 2021.
Susan Carriker shared links to geometry tasks and activities, again sorted by concept.
A Google Sheet with links out to Geometry Resources: Desmos, Geogebra, Mathigon, etc.. I have JUST started (only 3 weeks are done) If you have something amazing I need to include, please reply with the link! #iteachmath #mtbos #mathschat #edtech https://t.co/I3dRKI86YI

Transum tweeted that the Boxed in Fractions game can now be played independently.
You can now play the Boxed-In Fractions game against the computer if there isn’t a “someone else” nearby willing to challenge you.https://t.co/VIukdDKECk

Richard Perring shared an article that includes Tokyo Olympics statistics. I am thinking about how I could use these leading up to the Beijing Olympics.

Anne Agostinelli shared a Google Doc with “resources to spark mathematical discussions”. I already have most of these links bookmarked, but there are few new ones for me to add to the repertoire.
'Tis the season to share this doc with awesome resources for math/number talk planning!#iteachmath #mtbos #numbertalkhttps://t.co/1rc3LZMKnV

Howie Hua made a Google Doc adaptation of the Got It! Game.
I highly recommend playing "Got it!" created by @TomJolly19 as it's often a favorite in our courses. You have a target number and you create number sentences by using connected cards. I made an online adaptation here:https://t.co/Z7hBkvjbYW pic.twitter.com/es4E894FVH

Sarah Carter tweeted about the Crazy Eights puzzle. I just tried it and got 1-6 easily. It took a few more minutes to get 8, but I will need a little more time for 7!
Crazy Eights Puzzle never gets old! I love that this activity is actually eight challenges in one. https://t.co/DHcoECWsDw#mtbos #iteachmath #teach180 pic.twitter.com/aNcXXN9iVA

This is a good addition to my list of NRICH interactive games. What is the least number of reveals required to solve the board? Also check out the follow up game.
