Here are some really cool pages I have used to get students thinking about math: estimation180.com/days/ & wouldyourathermath.com/category/6to8/ #usu5010

I wanted to recommend some helpful math video sites. Here's my list with the first two being the ones that helped me most: youtube.com/user/Mathbyfiv…, youtube.com/c/NancyPi youtube.com/user/mathman10…, and mathtv.com #usu5010

Desmos has some fun classroom activities that I can use in my classroom next year. Go to teacher.desmos.com and here are some of my faves: Products and Sums, Floats and Anchors, and Domain and Range Introduction (you may need to go to the search bar to find them). #usu5010

If you need an applet that quickly breaks down links to subject area within math, this is your spot: mathed.page/applets.html #usu5010

I never knew that a website that can house a variety of links to other helpful online sites was called an applet. Here's a helpful one I found for math: mathinsight.org/applet/list #lifelonglearning #usu5010

If you haven't seen this applet, it is perfect for a variety of grade levels and math subject areas. Highly recommend! nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/vlibrar… #usu5010

Spent some time trying find math activities that are real-world but still engaging. My favorite by far is robertkaplinsky.com. Anyone have any recommendations for activities that are similar? First activity will be the hybrid cars problem! #usu5010

mathandmultimedia.com is a great place to bookmark as it has the resources to help teach you concepts all the way from the basics to differential equations! #usu5010

edWeb.net has an interesting webinar called "Student Engagement in Mathematical Discourse: Let’s Give Them Something to Talk About" that encourages math conversations and exploration to deepen understanding that I recommend for those teaching math. #usu5010

Recently sat through a PD given by @pgliljedahl and since then have become obsessed with wanting to learn more about it. Don't have time to read until middle of summer but I am hoping I have access to watch bigmarker.com/GlobalMathDept… to see how it's worked for others. #usu5010

Had a PD opportunity today where Peter Liljedahl discussed vertical whiteboards help create a thinking classroom. His book is being added to my summer reading list. #buildingthinkingclassrooms #usu5010

I have loved @Desmos for years but now they created a curriculum that feels like it was meant for me!!! #usu5010
