@WhiteHouse As an American citizen who happened to be in Cambodia at the time Thailand attacked, I can attest to this being true. I have family that are Cambodians, and I know they are hopeful that our President will continue to help bring peace, and are grateful to him.

"Just spoke to the Acting Prime Minister of Thailand and Prime Minister of Cambodia. I am pleased to announce that, after the involvement of President Donald J. Trump, both Countries have reached a CEASEFIRE and PEACE... I am proud to be the President of PEACE!" - President Trump

@TroyDawson4 Congratulations!

Today is my 56th and final “last day of school.” I finally graduate.

These are the stories that need to be shared and shared and shared.

@howie_hua I have used the multiply by 10 and then cut in half method for many years. This was the method taught in business math classes many years ago. Before going back to college and earning my degrees in mathematics to become a teacher, my degree and career was accounting.

Do you know of this way of multiplying by 5? I think it's pretty neat.

@jsharbin1 I just added this one to my classroom library this year! By the way, I teach 8th grade math, and my kiddos LOVE when we have a "story time!"

I love incorporating literature into math!

@PhiloTrack @Aidanmahon1 Congratulations!

Congratulations @Aidanmahon1 Ohio Top 40 in the 400m dash, LJ and HJ… state bound ⚡️

@KeithPiccard @howie_hua Begin with 357 = 8. How many 8's are in 357? This gives us 357 = 8(44) + 7. Now we work with 8 = 7. How many 7's are in 8? This gives us 8 = 7(1) + 1. We still have a remainder, so we keep going. 7 = 1. How many 1's are in 7? Now we have 7 = 1(7) + 0. So the GCF is 1.

@howie_hua Howie, I was giving this a whirl, and what about something like the GFC of 357 and 8? I was doing the Euclidean algorythm and it left me with 8/37ths or 0.216. Thanks

I wish I was taught this way of finding the greatest common factor when I was in school: The Euclidean algorithm

@mlutzS1 Thank you for leading an amazing group of men and women who serve our community.

Thank you to all of our staff and Law Enforcement across America for all that they do!!! #LawEnforcementApprecistionDay

@howie_hua After watching your post about this method a while ago, I decided to try it with my 8th graders. They couldn't believe a teacher would allow them to talk about the test before taking it. I agree with your statement regarding test anxiety, and this does help reduce it.

Small changes, big impacts in the classroom part 1: Test Talk. For the first 5 minutes of a test, students put their writing utensils on the ground, I hand out the test, and students talk to each other about the test. Many have mentioned how much this lowers their test anxiety.

@MattRKay I was the very shy girl who never said a thing in class, and walked through the hallways with my head down, books clinched tightly against me while I walked as quickly as I could to my next class. My career now? I’m a teacher.
