@gregtangmath Good problem. I tried not to use algebra because I lean towards that too often. A combination of reasoning and guess and check.🎄is 3 more than 🕯and ⛄is larger than 🎄. 🕯=6, 🎄=9, ⛄=15. Final answer=30 👍

Happy Friday! Here's a fun puzzle for this penultimate day of 2022. How do you tend to approach problems like this? Algebraic equations? Guess & check? Reasoning & mental math? Despair? We don't want the latter! Enjoy!

We love seeing our educators connect with and learn from each other. So we'd like to know: What country are you from and what grade(s)/subject(s) do you teach? Let's get to know each other! #MicrosoftEDU #globaled

Flipped Learning in NZ. Encourages effective relationships between teacher & students. elearning.tki.org.nz/Teaching/Snaps…

If you were a student in your classroom, what would be the one thing you would never forget about this year? Think about it. Many times, our students only remember something that really impacted them later in life. What kind of memories are we making?

Classroom discussion maps help students improve their communication skills in a "very real, visible way."

@MicrosoftEDU 2019 resolution - use #MicrosoftTeams with my students in order to extend the learning outside the classroom, promote collaboration & encourage student agency.

A new year means 365 opportunities to learn new skills, make new connections, and reach new goals. Comment below to share your education resolutions for 2019.

@MicrosoftEDU I use #OneNote & #surface to deliver math concepts (by video through #flippedlearning or in class). Now, using #MicrosoftTeams in addition to OneNote for class conversations, assignments, videos ... 2019 resolution - fully integrate MSTeams in my teaching.

Whether you're already familiar with #OneNote or just diving in, see how you can create and connect Class Notebooks all in one space in #MicrosoftTeams.

Getting Rid of the Lecture Bottleneck edutopia.org/article/gettin…

Whether you are a teacher, admin, student, or whatever, the question is always the same. Will you say it can’t be done, or find a way to make it possible? Those around you notice what you choose. Choose to find a way.

@SteeleThoughts When I catch apathetic Ss doing non-schoolwork (e.g. listening to music, looking at photos on-screen, doodling) I spark up a conversation about those very things. The math problems can wait!

Q7: What suggestion do you have for colleagues who are trying to reach students who seem apathetic or disrespectful? #ALedchat

@edutopia A student asks me for help & before I reply another student says, "I can show her Miss!'

What would you say?

@NZFlippedLearn To move towards Flipped Mastery and to encourage teachers of all subject areas with Flipped learning.

What is your 2019 goal for Flipped Learning?
