@howie_hua Can’t wait to see you in Albany!

Will I see you this year? Here's my speaking schedule so far for 2024:

@andymalbouef I like your take on it. I was overwhelmed with the changes needed but I think the idea of taking some ideas is good. I took one of your desmos classes last summer and combined with these ideas has me really thinking about how to change my classroom, even after 20 years!

teacher's backs. For those speaking against it, I encourage you to read the book or otherwise look further in to it. My guess is that you'll see some things you already do that are strong instructional practices. I feel like I've seen a lot in my 32 years in the classroom, 2)

Over the past few weeks and months, there's been quite a bit of noise in education about Building Thinking Classrooms #BTC. While there is a lot of enthusiasm my many teachers, there is also a lot of negativity thrown towards it as "just another gimic" or system to load on to 1)

@jedimama One shoe?! I cheered her on during that and didn’t notice!

One kid with a 1500 PR today, one kid with a major discus PR (and she ran a 1600 with only one shoe but still managed to help her relay team come in second)

It’s just me with two different tabs open waiting for results for track meets I can’t go to. #trackmom

@ChittendenNate Again?!

#ProTip it’s always a good idea to keep your stove top clean, but it’s not always a good idea to reach under the lit burner to salvage the dry pasta that missed the pot of boiling water

@jedimama That was made at our house too! And I’m assuming for the same event!

Made chocolate chip cookies for a school event tomorrow. Probably increased the odds of a snow day now.

@MathByTheMt Sets- my students and I both love it!

@ChittendenNate Not as brave as you would be if you corrected your math teacher wife’s math!

Y’all think you’re brave…… but are you “Correct your Mother in law’s math error in the family group chat” brave? It’s been nice knowing all of you.

@mathycathy Same!

@howie_hua We learned about linear pairs yesterday. So I put this picture on the screen today. No one knew! I said it was a band from my time. Someone responded with the Beatles…I’m 42!

Math teachers, can you ask your students to guess what this band's name is based on the picture and let me know what they say?

@NicholasFerroni Year 20 for me too!

I don’t think that my students realize that I am as nervous, excited and anxious about the first day of school as they are, and it’s my 20th year.🍎❤️

@MyriMiss @TimBrzezinski @MathigonOrg @edaydemir @davidporas @IowaMathTeach youtu.be/yvEyhFQbcQk I just found it!

@TimBrzezinski @MathigonOrg @edaydemir @davidporas @IowaMathTeach Where is the desmos link for today's webinar? :S

I’ve been preparing for this moment for 15 years… the next generation of calf selfies begins. #FarmLove

Some days I question my choice to teach high school and then some days make it all worth it! I was honored to wear this student’s jersey today! This great kid picked me and it meant so much!

He's a parent first: “There is no beverage you’re going to choose available to kids that’s going to be more nutritious than milk. It’s got 13 essential vitamins, minerals, nutrients..."~ @ChittendenNate cbs6albany.com/news/local/ny-…

Happy Pi Day!! Loved being able to celebrate with my students today!

@Fouss I have that cardigan! One of my favorites from @SvahaUSA!

Today is the real Pi Day... We started learning about radians!

@TypeAMathLand They then find that they all same triangle and thus SSS works. I use milkshake straws that came in 3 colors. I also made angles with paper clips wrapped in pipe cleaners that were opened to about the same degree to show SAS and ASA.

@TypeAMathLand It takes some work and I’m not sure if this is what you mean but I hand each student precut straws and a piece of string. Every student has the same length straws and all I tell them is to string the straws to make a triangle. They then compare with a neighbor.

What is currently your favorite congruent triangle investigation (preferably able to be completed in 50 min class period)? #MTBoS #iteachmath #geomchat

Decorating my classroom door made me happy today! My students saying how much they liked made me even happier! #geomtree #mathteacher

@ChittendenNate This is payback for the thousands of times in our marriage you have not responded when I asked you a question!

After the third time of not getting my question heard by @jchit15 because she’s tuning the family out with her earbuds and tiktoks, I’ve decided it’s just easier to text her from the kitchen. #Thanksgiving2021
