Math Choice Boards are finished! Grades 6-8. Enjoy! bit.ly/MathChoiceBoar… Thank you @openmiddle @fawnpnguyen @WODBMath and @Jstevens009

@robertkaplinsky How thrilled are you that open middle problems are featured as thinking tasks all throughout Part 1 of Peter and Maegan’s new K-5 math task book?

Still loving this visual representation of factorizations: datapointed.net/visualizations… #nctm2023

Wondering if you have any research around how this might impact a thinking classroom and creating a culture of “on the same team.”@pgliljedahl

Thought this was worth thinking about…

@alicekeeler Thank you Alice, yes please.

I am in LOVE with this picture of us at the White House!! An astronaut, aquanaut, two astrophysicists and a molecular biologist right here in this photo 🥰 these are the faces of science.

@NovaKatz @robertkaplinsky @ablinstein @ProfessorMarin My team’s experience during “set up” for a session at an annual conf this year: 45 min before, we found a venue helper, moved out long tables, put in cocktail tables, and set up the room BTC style. Folks loved it…the organizers did not. All others were a trad. setup. Thoughts?

@robertkaplinsky @ablinstein @ProfessorMarin Definitely agree with reconsidering fees. As you've said before, rethinking the structure, like defronting the classroom (not sit & get). And I think there needs to be accountability & transparency and sessions. I hear often that it's hit or miss if the session is relevant.

About 2500 more people attended the last GYTO national conference than the last NCTM Annual conference. ~6500 vs ~4000. There used to be 20,000+ teachers at an NCTM Annual. If we don't figure out how to integrate newer teachers, we're going to fade away.

@clstward1 @iborganization @kirstenwickman @EPIC_academics @gcc_jsample Well these are 3 faces I respect and miss dearly! Enjoy every full breath of mountain air and each moment to grow closer together and encourage each other.

Learning & collaboration in the mountain air! Growing knowledge with colleagues in our @iborganization community! Thx @kirstenwickman #GCC_Charters @EPIC_academics @gcc_jsample

@NovaKatz That would have been so much fun! I guess I’ll just have to suffer here on the coast…

@marvelousmcc Wish you were here friend!!!

"i actually think that our ears are vented through our butts." On why standing helps students listen so much better! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 #BTCC23

I didn’t submit to present at #ISTELIVE but if I had I would have wanted to do the session I did for the Indiana #SparkSummit. Want to learn a little about AI? Here you go docs.google.com/presentation/d… #NotpresentingatIStE #notatiste

@k8roulette2 Teaching is hard. Staying enthusiastic is hard. Summer vacay is precious. If folks go to any conference, paid to attend (fabulous), not paid (even more kudos), can we just be positive and say “way to try to learn more to help kids!!!”

@pwharris 16 is 32% of 50 because I kept halving. Then 8 is 16% of the missing number. So 4 is 8%, and 2 is 4%, and 1 is 2%, and .5 is 1%. Now to scale up. I need 100%, so 100 groups of 1% means 100 groups of .5, which makes 50.

It's time for #MathStratChat! Rules: post your favorite or a clever solution! It's also fun to comment on other's strategies. Tell us about your reasoning. Like/Retweet so others can see! #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathIsFigureOutAble #Elemmathchat #MSmathchat #HSmath

@alicemercer @jmattmiller You will need to rent a 4WD vehicle. Worth it…if your family is into a Jurassic Park experience with wild horses instead of 🦕.

Ok, folks ... Need some help ... We (wife, 3 teenage kids and I) are doing a Hawaiian cruise in July. 🌸🌴⛱️ Trip of a lifetime we've waited for years to take! Oahu, Maui, Hilo/Kona, Kauai. What should we do while on shore? Pearl Harbor is already a must.
