Hey @openupresources community - can anyone tell me a benefit to switching from tape diagrams to hangers in 7th grade unit 6? Why switch it up after they get comfortable with tape diagrams? You can show balance with either type of diagram. #OpenUpMath

A3. I also tell ss EVERYDAY that the person who's doing the most talking is doing the most learning. It's their job to involve everyone in the conversation and make those conversations meaningful. Not a routine, just a constant conversation. #openupmath

A3. We discuss the quote, "The name on the front of the jersey is what matters, not the name on the back," and how it applies to our classroom. They have to care about the learning of the person next to them as much as their own. #openupmath

Last week, NASA's Ingenuity Mars Helicopter became the first aircraft in history to make a powered, controlled flight on another planet. @UofLSpeedEng alum Loay Elbasyouni worked as the electrical lead on the project. Read more🔗uofl.me/3sNAgZa

@martinsean @MandyMathEd Sorry I'm being nosy... This is what I've started doing in my classroom over the last month or so. It has been HUGE! Ss are bought in because they know what questions THEY need answered by the end of class. Has also helped me stay focused on lesson goal.

What if students had 2 minutes to look at paper cool down before or after warmup then collect it after last 4 minutes of class? Students could write questions, notice/wonder for rough draft, compare understanding too #roughdraftmath #openupmath cc @MandyMathEd

Which makes mathematics the most honorable thing one might experience in this world. As Celine in Before Sunrise would say "The answer lies in the attempt". The answer to why we study mathematics is all about the attempt.

Hey, @openupresources and #openupmath community - Does anyone know if the PBS Distance Learning Support videos can be accessed anywhere other than Vimeo? Our district has blocked Vimeo, but these videos are great resources for those not in the classroom.

Anyone in #openupmath community struggle with a big jump in 7th Grade, Unit 6? Ss go from using diagrams to reason through eqs and then are quickly expected to solve eqs without? Am I missing something? Am I the only one with this issue?

The DNA of any two people on Earth is 99.6% identical. (Entry #22: between2numbers.com/21-30.html) We can help Ss understand that race is a social construct, not biological or genetic. Happy Friday, everyone. ❤️

A powerful call to action: "Interrogate individual and societal beliefs underlying the deficit views about mathematics learning and children with specific attention to race/ethnicity, class, gender, culture, and language." #TODOSSummerRead

No one corrected my spelling error... Uncharted territory. I still need school too.
