I LOVE this project. Students using their creativity to show geometric concepts. makemathnotsuck.wordpress.com/2017/08/31/voc… #ITeachMath #MTBoS #geometry #ditchbook #chsproud

This is for anyone tchg algebra or supporting teachers who do. On Tue Sep 4 we launch our new algebra lessons, infused with a mindset approach - introducing algebra visually (instead of procedurally). Students will love these algebraic ideas! All free on youcubed.org

@MsLoneyMath Does anyone have links to journal or research articles? I have seen the TVO video and the tap into teen minds for teachers but need research or journal articles. Thanks!

I have a principal who is looking for articles to support teachers spiralling in math (to help assuage parental concern) Can anyone help me out? #MTBOS #Iteachmath

@AlexOverwijk You have really revolutionized math education for me. Thanks doing you!!!

S “Because of the low stress in this testing environment it reassures me that I know stuff, lets me know what I need to focus on tonight before the individual test, and really just increases my confidence.” Me”Glad you feel that way.”

2nd group whiteboard test yesterday in MCV4U #iteachmath #MTBoS After test: S”Whoever thought of group board tests is a genius.” Me”Why?” S “This class is always about problem solving in groups, I just never know what is important and if I am learning what I am supposed to” 1/2

@AlexOverwijk @fawnpnguyen A little trickier to see all solutions for you?

@fawnpnguyen Cut one 4 by 8 sheet into a 4 by 2 and a 4 by 6. Cut a second 4 by 8 sheet into a 4 by 2 and a 4 by 3 and a 4 by 3. Put it together like this more or less. Built for up to 9 S’s

Portable #VNPS in action for groups of two in the hall. This gem can hold 6 (size 2) or 9 (size 3).

@wheeler_laura putting it out there. First sketchnote ever! #oame2018

@fawnpnguyen Thank you - you are the real deal. #oame2018

Cool warmup today using @texthelp. Students given an assignment to create a parabola & use drawings to label the different parts and properties. #sau25discovers #EquatIO Before &after pic

Based on @VirtualGiff's idea, I've put together a way for @OAME2018 attendees to take a some notes & share what they've learned at #OAME2018. docs.google.com/document/d/1OP…

I had my students choose icons to add to their course outline; 1 per overall expectation. We learned to search Google for "___ icon" right in the doc. Also made great use of thenounproject.com which is worth checking out!! #bfc530 twitter.com/wheeler_laura/…

@AlexOverwijk Thanks @AlexOverwijk. Really appreciate your time! Been thinking about doing this. We do vnps and vrg every day, I just am still not quite comfortable in trusting my observations. I think if I find a way to document and have a way to go back to my reflections I will feel better

@amgilbert21 Could check their answers. I do a lot of smiling and walking away. In fairness there is ton of S learning about what they don’t know and what they do know. Gives them a great focus for the individual test. I definitely don’t feel like S’s waste a review period like I used to.

Collaborative whiteboard test #2 in #mcv4u in #VRG on #VNPS in a #thinkingclassroom in action. Take your review period and do this instead-listen and learn about your students. Have your normal individual test the next day. #iteachmath #mtbos

@AlexOverwijk Do you evaluate this? Or is it more observation? Do record your observations? Do you give all questions up front or as they progress? Do you check their work/tell them if they are correct? Or do you literally just watch and listen and smile?

@amgilbert21 Yes to review day. All period long. 10 different tests. Enough questions to keep them busy for an entire period-they can be autonomous if they finish early. The sorts of questions I would put on review or a test.
