@BTCthinks “The whole mindset is that as a teacher, I’m a facilitator and a guide, but I’m not going to give you everything… I’m going to give you just as much as you need, so that you can do the thinking, the exploring and the learning.” bit.ly/4w1JS4s #thinkingclassroom

Appreciation for MƒA teachers, by MƒA teachers 💫 Our #MfAThankATeacher campaign is back! Each year, we take a moment to celebrate the incredible educators in the #MƒAProud community. We invite teachers to share messages of gratitude to a fellow teacher (or teachers) in MƒA!💌

@BTCthinks Searching for ways to spark engagement in his 7th-grade math classes, #MfAProud teacher Andrew Rodriguez joined an MƒA book club to discuss “Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics” by Dr. @pgliljedahl. It transformed his teaching practice: bit.ly/4w1JS4s

At this month’s MƒA Thursday Think speaker series, Dr. Sara Rezvi presented “From Geometric Curves to Celestial Arcs: Contributions of Islam to Mathematics.” This talk highlighted contributions of Muslim mathematicians through the lenses of algebra, geometry, and astronomy.
