@TracyZager @gfletchy I love this game. Similarly, @mminas8 has a great game "Reverse Land Grab" which promotes thinking about area, factors, prime and composite numbers which my grade 3s are enjoying.

@drnickimath Yes!!!

Kids math data should be private. All those rocket ships and ice cream cones where they are in these competitive fluency races against each other does not motivate the ones who need it the most! Individual data binders where kids track their own data is what works!

@midgeyriver @ASD_West Enjoy!!

@CastellKim Good & Plenty

I have my opinion, but I want to know yours on the subject.

@MrsRalston This is so beautiful!

Students worked several weeks on this collaborative art project, inspired by Colin Smith’s “1 KM of Florenceville.”Gr. 3 called their piece “1 KM of Centreville.” They represented each building between HSF and MetalFab. This is a 5 panel piece. 4-5 ss worked together per panel.

@momentum79 The perfect marriage of pedagogies❤️

@therevngraham I guess there could be worse things, but...😢🤣

@DrostSomer Oh! That must break your math loving heart.

@therevngraham You take a picture of the math question and the app spits out the answer and how you should write it down so it looks like you solved it on your own😑

@DrostSomer What is photo math?

@MrDixonMath I find John Hattie's work extremely interesting and applicable. I'd buy this book

I’ll probably get dragged on Twitter for this… but I purchased a book…😐😯 #iteachmath #mtcoz #mtbos

@TheWalkingDead It's gotta be an even tie...Michonne and Carol. How could you choose???

Who is your favorite female character in TWD?

@mathequalslove A pillar of puzzles?!

I've got this new nifty spinning display rack in my classroom. Ideas of what I should use it for??? #mtbos #iteachmath

@BathMonquarters The colors are beautiful. What a fun way to incorporate math

What can you build with cubes and cylinders?

@LdsbMsgray @MsBrysonLDSB @SydenhamPS_LDSB He put that 2 and 3 together and said "5" so quick! Love it!

We’re becoming rockstars with the dice!!! So much practice has been happening both in #play, playful opportunities & in #ExplicitInstruction ! #math #fdk #kindergarten #manipulatives @MsBrysonLDSB @DrostSomer @SydenhamPS_LDSB

@ASD_West @BathMonquarters @BristolElem @cnhsstars @FalconsFMS @FES_NB @CentrevilleSch A great idea come to life, spearheaded by a very caring teacher and human @ksaund74

@JRappaport27 @HumResPro @Math4HF This whole thing resounds with me. Also curious about the task...it looks interesting.

A couple of kids refused to work in groups. After affirming how they were feeling, we offered choice. Choosing to remain on their own, a few kids made their way over to extend an offer to collaborate. They accepted. This is why we in believe and trust kids. @HumResPro @Math4HF

All too often, I hear things like "My Ss couldn't do that..." or "This class can't handle the grade (x) work." We need to give our Ss access to grade level content through worthy tasks, with the appropriate supports. You'd be surprised by what you find out. This podcast❤️ #mtbos

@alicekeeler @katiemartinedu @Mathgarden @joboaler @pgliljedahl I am a big BTC fan...and Jo Boaler. I love math and want to pass that on to my SS! Now following you😃

@DrostSomer @katiemartinedu @Mathgarden Happily many are changing that. Read Mathematical Mindsets by @joboaler and Building Thinking Classrooms by @pgliljedahl

I just spent 3 hours with my 8th grader relearning & then teaching how to graph linear equations. I can’t think of a time I have used this beyond a test. Can someone help me with how this is relevant to 8th graders or 43 year olds? @alicekeeler?

"Tasks that lend themselves best to discussions are tasks that we would consider to be high level, or... cognitively demanding...tasks for which there is no specified pathway as to how you would solve it. So that Ss actually have to think, reason..." - Peg Smith #mtbos

@alicekeeler @katiemartinedu @Mathgarden "The traditional way we teach math lacks relevance, context, and joy." You took the words right out of my mouth.💙

@katiemartinedu It's not. The traditional way we teach math lacks relevance, context, and joy. I recommend you follow @Mathgarden who has a lot to say on this topic
