I have made the move to BlueSky (@kaykubena.bsky.social). I’d love to get a starter pack together for AP Stats teachers over there. Let’s continue to learn and share with each other (like the old days.) Please join me! #APstats

Connected rates of change with Y13. I made these examples up fairly quickly because I wanted them to sketch the graphs, then asked them to choose some sensible values (the red numbers) and we calculated the rates. It turned out to be a really nice progression of questions.

@stephaniempaz She is interested in HS! She is very outgoing, gregarious, and really good with kids.

@KubenaKay My school is only 9th-12th unfortunately 😕

Any high school history teachers looking for a job in LA? RT or DM me!

@BurnsideMath Saving this! I use the “old” version every year!

Tootsie Pop time! How many licks does it take to get to the center? We box plotted the results and described the distribution in AP Stats. @BellaireHigh #apstats

Is the hatching of python eggs independent of temperature? Is there an association between antidepressant usage and drug relapse? AP Stats students are finding out! @BellaireHigh #apstats

I love teaching the online, College Board workshops for AP Stats. These teachers from all over the country have taught all day and were still willing to do a little stats with me for a couple of hours this evening! #apstats @CollegeBoard #dedicatedteachers

M&M’s and @Desmos. It was a very good day! @BellaireHigh #apstats

I want to express my appreciation to the math teachers who worked in their classrooms @BellaireHigh this Saturday morning. Your dedication to our students is unsurpassed! You are my heroes! #cardinalproud #firstdayonmonday

Hey Cardinals, check your HISD email on Sunday for your schedule! PowerSchools is also scheduled to go live on Sunday. Everyone will head to 2nd period when they arrive on campus Monday! We can't wait to see you! #CardinalProud

First official math department meeting of the year! I work with the best math teachers who support our students AND each other! @BellaireHigh #cardinalproud

We’re baaaaaack! Second day at NRG and Bellaire faculty is ready to learn! @BellaireHigh @HoustonISD #cardinalproud

@BurnsideMath @BellaireHigh @HoustonISD She was awesome! We did a lot of laughing in her session!

@KubenaKay @BellaireHigh @HoustonISD I went to that same session/presenter. Well done and engaging session.

Session 3: Multiple Response Strategies…Lots of techniques to check for understanding and to gauge student learning! I’m looking forward to trying something new. @BellaireHigh @HoustonISD #cardinalproud

Session 4: Annotations and SRCs…I found out that annotations in text based math questions must be modeled. I must become more deliberate about connecting words with choosing the correct solution strategy. @BellaireHigh @HoustonISD #cardinalproud

Session 2: Coaching and Feedback…Denzel Washington. No other description necessary! @BellaireHigh @HoustonISD #cardinalproud

First Session: Instructional Characteristics…what to do and what not to do! Reinforcing so many of the practices that we already do in our classrooms @BellaireHigh. We are ready! #cardinalproud @HoustonISD

I presented job-a-like PD in @HoustonISD today. New AP Precal T’s are exploring “change in tandem” using vases of different shapes and cups of rice. Can you predict the graph relating volume and height? What about concavity? @BellaireHigh @chopra_reena @WallaceMathBHS #apprecal

1st day of professional development for math teachers at Bellaire! Lots of “deep diving” going on at our @HoustonISD district training! @BellaireHigh #mathdepartment #firstpdday
