@NETA_Tweets @ErikReptile Any special gamification codes for your loyal social media followers? ☺️

Thank you to our virtual exhibitors! Take some time to stop by their "booths" in the exhibit hall section to learn more about them. @ErikReptile #PubMediaEducates #NETAconference

“I feel so smart in math right now” - overheard just now in my class 🥰 #ITeachMath #T2T @SouthwestES @wsfcs

Want a FUN and ENGAGING end of year SEL activity that will bring the class together? Try “THE CUP PYRAMID” - Awesome for collaboration and building community. I can even see this being used at staff meetings!! Directions and examples in the video 🎥👇💥🎉

If you teach K-5, check out these 3-act tasks from @MsCastillosMath. Fun ideas to get kids making sense of math: mscastillosmath.wordpress.com/3-act-tasks-by… #MTBoS

In T @mrswendymturner's class, each S's insight contributes to this end-of-unit group reflection! #TeacherTwitter

By encouraging Ss to revisit the things that challenged and excited them, educator @mrswendymturner helps them reflect on their growth! #AlwaysLearning

Polygon sorting with some non examples sprinkled in there 😉 @SouthwestES #ITeachMath @wsfcs

@robertkaplinsky As someone who taught this class over the last few years.. totally agreed. So much to say about this.

If you are tired of schools forcing kids to learn multiple years of math in a single year, this is the post for you: bit.ly/2vsGHHo #MTBoS

@robertkaplinsky It’s very interesting when you actually ponder what’s in these textbooks. I agree the image isn’t needed whatsoever to solve the ?, however I don’t think it was intended to be considered a true model. The “real world link” is a def a stretch imo & maybe only serving as a “hook”?

If you completely remove a problem’s context and can still solve it, can it really be mathematical modeling? bit.ly/2i1iv5P #MTBoS

This "100 Positive Phone Calls" challenge is a hit among students and teachers, says AP @MHawley_3: "Staff write down a brief summary of the positive call so that others can find that student to celebrate them too! When we reach 100, we have a staff celebration."

Reviewing content for my SME role, & look who I found!! @mrdearybury !!!

Learning walks @SouthwestES 💗

Great discussion today for our math warm up using “Always, Sometimes, or Never” ❓ #ITeachMath #T2T @SouthwestES @wsfcs

Spotted @SouthwestES 🔎 Elementary students employing @AVID4College Focused Note Taking strategies to learn about ecosystems. 🌲🌵🌊⛰️ @wsfcs

We’ve been loving Tug of War warm ups this week! #T2T #iTeachMath @SouthwestES

Good morning from @SouthwestES @wsfcs 😁

@robertkaplinsky When I say circle key numbers, this is always a great opportunity to discuss irrelevant information. When we box in action words, we discuss the “dangers” of “key words”. Ex “total” doesn’t always mean addition. The E is where it all comes together and we make a game plan.

@robertkaplinsky I’ve seen a lot of hate for CUBES over the yrs, but like any strategy in math, it comes down to implementation. I opt to have C as circle KEY #s, B as box in math ACTION words, E as EVALUATE how to solve. To me this is a meaningful way to empower my Ss &help them make meaning.

If the idea of using CUBES to solve math problems has left you frustrated and wanting something better, check out the recording of my Why We Should Reconsider Using Word Problems (And What We Should Be Doing Instead) webinar. robertkaplinsky.com/webinar #iteachmath #pd

@MsBteacherlady Thrillers!!!

One of my goals is to read more books. I don’t like fantasy at all nor historical fiction. What do you recommend?
