(I want it to have a reason where students aren't just like "why wouldn't you just measure the side you want")

Like the best real world application of right triangle trig is measuring things that are very large using a clinometer or something. Anyone have this but indoors, as we will be getting there in late Nov in Iowa???? Or similar activity that involves them actually measuring things?

I don't really post much on here anymore but embarked on year 12 today. Feeling old but not worn out yet, loved overhearing a kid already say "this class is fun" while doing the 100 Number task. #mtbos

@kathyhen_ @mathequalslove Love the 100# challenge have done it day 1 for years and years. I do 3 2 min rounds with discussion between google.com/url?sa=t&sourc…

Tornado Warning right at the start of the school day, senior's last day, teacher next door's door won't open from inside the classroom, 10% of the school is on a choir trip to NYC, we are LIMPING INTO SUMMER over here

Love this !!! #growthmindset #inclusion #allkids

@MrCorleyMath @IanKerr_math @NewJerseyDOE @amtnj I feel like this map should be even more color coded - it has the info if you click on it but Iowa only gets a Desmos scientific calculator, not the graphing one, for theirs

@IanKerr_math @NewJerseyDOE @amtnj desmos.com/testing I mean, we are surrounded by states using it.

Hey @NewJerseyDOE and @amtnj What do you notice? What do you wonder? If you had a take a standardize test, which tool would you prefer? #iteachmath

@JGomezMathEd congrats! my main tip would be to consistently communicate updates on things to your department - even if the update is "I asked about this and haven't gotten an answer yet" - they want to have the info they need and know that you're working for them.

One of our editors, a former teacher, just spent two days subbing and she has THOUGHTS about her return to the classroom after two years. #teachertwitter #payteachersmore 🔽weareteachers.com/havent-taught-…

Loving this!!!!

Love kicking off teacher appreciation week with an inservice day.... 🙃

@desmosclassroom @jennalaib I appreciate @AnkerMath sharing many activities with everyone!

@YoderRenae Nice! I give mine a 5 minute limit to see how many they can find - my 1st and 4th blocks usually find them all in less than that. 4th block was very motivated yesterday when I told them 1st didn't get to do it!

@LizSchwindMath We do the same thing. My students were so disappointed. Luckily it was up by last period yesterday. We have a competition and each section has their best time written on the board.

We play the SET daily puzzle a few days a week for our opener activity in class and I literally got yells of NOOOOOOO from my 1st block today when I told them the site was down. It's their favorite opener. Hope it gets fixed soon!

SO proud of these kids! They work so hard and put so much of themselves into this and they absolutely crushed it!

Thank you so much to @GSEIWI (and Maura specifically for the hookup) for helping my students get their last Cookie fix of the season as a reward for their hard work!

Staff Eclipse watch party! @chspride1

"Mrs. Schwind I have a probability question for you...what's the probability that my ex girlfriend will be in both my 1st and 2nd block class?....no really can we actually calculate that probability" Me: "well, it would be an AND question, so....what rule do we use...."
