@naedyu @howie_hua You did great!
I just took it one little step further....
If 60 is 4/10 of something...
Then 15 is 1/10 of something...
So, 10 times 15 = 150!!

@howie_hua im terrible at math especially mental so id give this incorrect answer
60 is 40% of ____
which means 30 is 20% of blank (feel like this is untrue)
then id say 30 times 5 is 150? so 60 is 40 percent of 150 but i dont feel like that sounds right and now i feel stupid

@EDUwithEmily Our Media Center Specialist made it a competition. Class that turned in the highest percentage of overdue books earned game time in the Media Center. Was very successful!

There are a lot of math people in schools who think they are "math teachers".... they are not. They are "math tellers." And their students are frustrated.

Baseball as a metaphor for the #STAAR test:
My son, a high-school junior, plays shortstop and bats leadoff for the varsity baseball team. And of course, I’m biased, but he’s a pretty good ballplayer. Soft hands, good feet, strong arm and always makes contact at the plate. 1/5

@KentHaines And... it is illegal to use any pronoun other than the standard pronoun that matches the sex on a student's birth certificate.
English
@KentHaines The way the law reads, no. However, the intent is to make sure that "Joe" isn't asking to be called "Maggie" without written parent approval. But because of how it reads, and potential consequences.... Margaret might not get to be Maggie either.

This! Feeling validated and seen. 🥰

Creating curriculum from scratch is unsustainable, but implementing a curriculum exactly as written with "fidelity" is also unsustainable. The alternative? Curriculum curation: pairing the appropriate resources and lessons with the needs of your students.

This is productive use of my morning, right? Collecting puzzles for next year!

Can you solve this fun Sujiko puzzle using the numbers from 1 to 9 only once? Made with our friends from @mathforlove #earlymath #tmwyk #learningthroughplay #earlychildhoodeducation #learning #mathgames #mathstrategy #mathematics #numeracy #playbasedlearning #mathisfun

Collecting ideas for next year's "Math in the Hall" bulletin boards! May need to make two... also one in the classroom!

This puzzle qualifies as a community one, meaning I'd have a large version of this on class wall where everyone is invited to try during transition/break times. But you can play with it on the slide I've made, just drag the numbers in. Cheers! #slide=id.g226a95d0f1d_0_693" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">docs.google.com/presentation/d…

@nebulous_nl @howie_hua @orzelc My brain makes it 40+25! Lol.
For the 8+9... my brain goes to 7+10 or 10+7.... mostly 10+7.... I think I like my first number to be the "easy" number to work with.
English
@howie_hua @orzelc In your example of 38+27, I see 50+15. Maybe 45+20. I would absolutely not reduce the right hand term to a number that isn't a multiple of 10.
For small numbers, just learn the sum.
Shorthand that works for you is great. Shorthand that doesn't? Makes simple problems hard.

@educator4ever88 My response is always, "choose another adjective!"
I teach math.... my favorite response.... "what's an adjective?!"

I’m subbing at a school and I love the kids so much. But the profanity (not out of anger, just routine conversations) is ridiculous. There are no school consequences. Looking for ideas on how to quell this.

@DingleTeach Interesting question. I prefer analog to digital. I think of time spatially. Being able to see "the space" of time having passed/remaining is more concrete to me. My daughter uses an analog timer with my grandson, who is 4. He watches the red sector grow smaller as time passes.

@DrKChilds My husband was an instructor for a major industry.... the industry standard is 4 hours of prep for each class hour taught.... can you even imagine that kind of prep time?!
English
How much daily prep time should elementary, middle school, and high school teachers have?
