@saravdwerf “Never Say Anything a Kid Can Say” by Steven Reinhart

Students @GoldenRingMS are planning for a dinner party to use what they know about decimals to make shopping decisions! @BCPSMATH @IllustrateMath

@MrsShanksDMS @DundalkOwlsBCPS It was a great day of learning for me, too!

Always a good day when I get to learn with @MrsPotterMath and examine evidence for meaningful feedback on lessons. From our days @DundalkOwlsBCPS with tiny babies to our days with adult children- it's been fun to grow and share both professionally and personally!

What is your question for this student? What do you hope to learn about the student’s thinking with your question? @BCPSMATH #staycurious

@j_eisenberg87 @CatonsvilleMS @BCPSMATH @IllustrateMath Love this!

#algebra students @CatonsvilleMS research real world data to plan a pizza party by creating mathematical models using expressios, equations, and inequalities @BCPSMATH #weAREcatonsville #LearnwithIM #highlyengaged #collegebound @IllustrateMath #futurepartyplanners

@MrKim_BCPSMath @BCPSMATH @RosedaleBCPS @MsKennedy_bcps I’d love to hear about the patterns your students noticed when they were discovering the sequence!

@MsBattersbyBCPS You can use the Google app. Select the camera and then translate. No need to type it out!

I sent home bilingual family surveys to my class. Over half of my families speak Spanish so I need to translate their responses so I understand them. In the past I’ve typed their answers into Google Translate or asked a willing Spanish-speaking coworker for help. Any other ideas?

@brightmorningtm @BreneBrown !!

Who would you like to hear me in conversation with (whether on a podcast or otherwise)?

I'd love to leverage the collective wisdom of my community here on Twitter. Check out the questions in this thread, and let me know your thoughts!

@Timmy_in_SF Cinnamon gum and red hots candy helped me with the taste. Hope you feel better soon!!

Lord have mercy. Paxlovid puts a bitter taste in my mouth for hours. I've had water, tea, milk, I've eaten a taco with hot sauce; NOTHING cuts through it for long. Hints of it keep arriving in the back of my throat. I suppose it's better than not dying, but shit.

@BCPSMATH educators igniting their passion for teaching @NCTM conference! @MshindaMath

@ddmeyer Build my conceptual understanding of the content.

Question - if you got assigned to teach a new class in an area of math that's unfamiliar to you, what would be your move for getting yourself ready?

@cmmteach Fraction Talks and Clothesline Math (fractions)!

The story of the @IllustrateMath units coming alive @sollerspt! Thank you Mr. Maiste! @MshindaMath @BCPSMATH

@SeymourTeach @LansdowneViking Love the follow up question, too!

One of my favorite mathematical activities to promote discourse and reasoning. #DoGreatBeGreat @LansdowneViking

@SeymourTeach @IllustrateMath @LansdowneViking @BcpsMTSS The lesson summary consolidates all the new learning - and the highlighting and annotation supports student ownership!!

"That was easy" Building confidence in Algebra 1 with @IllustrateMath #DoGreatBeGreat @LansdowneViking @BcpsMTSS @MrsPotterMath

@PyzikNick @_mparker3 @NSnier @LoganElementary @BCPSMATH @IllustrateMath Patty paper for the win! “IM” so glad you are seeing the power of the tasks and their progression with your students! It’s amazing 😊

“IM” so excited everyday to see what these kids come up with and how they approach math. #ibelongles @_mparker3 @NSnier @LoganElementary @BCPSMATH @IllustrateMath

@MsWootensClass Love the bar graph! Math IS everywhere!!

Working on our reading stamina! Day 2 and we have already accomplished our goal. Way to go 3rd graders!

@PattonKelle @LoganElementary @_mparker3 @NSnier @BCPSMATH It’s so cool how those beetles are used for many different purposes in math!!

@PyzikNick @_mparker3 @LoganElementary @NSnier @BCPSMATH Conceptual development of the formula for the area of a parallelogram and a triangle in action! Love it!

Continue to be impressed by these amazing scholars and the way they discuss math. Using visuals and physical materials to help support their thinking warms my teacher heart ❤️ @_mparker3 @LoganElementary @NSnier @BCPSMATH
