@howie_hua Abstract Algebra for me. Questioned if I was cut out to be a math major after that one. Had always gotten As in math before that.

Proudest C of my life

@ddmeyer Sounds awesome! Didn't see any times listed but I'm assuming it wouldn't coincide well with parenting two toddlers over the summer.

In Desmos Design, you'll learn how to: ➡️ Add more "verbs" to your activities. ➡️ Add feedback that INTERPRETS rather than EVALUATES student thinking. ➡️ Use Computation Layer and the Graphing Calculator in new ways. ➡️ & more. More info & sign up! 👇 maven.com/desmos/design2…

🛠️ Interested in learning how to take your Desmos Activity building to the next level? We just opened registration for the second-ever ✨ Desmos Design 201 ✨ course! maven.com/desmos/design2…

"Mrs. McSheene, can I keep doing these practice problems? They're fun." Doing some @Desmos activities today from their curriculum. Honestly surprised at how engaged the kids are staying with only 8 school days remaining. #mtbos #desmos #iteachmath

The LOVE wrap on the sign outside @CardinalsLHS is looking better than ever. The old one was a little worn after hanging outside for a year, so I gave it a nice wash, flipped inside out since the outside had faded, and crocheted some new letters. #PrideMonth #crochet

So proud of our @CardinalsLHS Knitting and Crochet Club and the amazing mural we made for #PrideMonth. Starting this club this year has brought me so much joy, and I can't wait to continue creating more with these kids next year. 🧶🏳️‍🌈@LTPS1

@JustinAion @kathyhen_ @NonMathowitz @untilnextstop And me! Hoping next time to at least make it to the interview process.

"This is the best class we've ever had." -actual quote from a freshman in my Algebra 1. Thanks @Desmos for the plethora of engaging activities. Today we're doing "Will it hit the hoop", my favorite way to introduce Quadratic functions. #mtbos #desmos #iteachmath

@howie_hua 13 — 5 + 5 + 3

How many holes do you see? How did you count?

@BrianneKohl My daughter came home from daycare last year at age 2 talking about her friend "Pumpkins". We finally figured out it was "Hawkins." Later we were trying to figure out who her new friend "Alligator" was... "Oliver." They're all still besties now.

My 8yo daughter met a girl at summer camp last year named "Internet." I said no way, that can't be her name but my daughter has been adamant. For almost a year we've been having this discussion. ANTOINETTE. I just found out her name is Antoinette.

Introducing algebra tiles today with inspiration from @mathequalslove. Always so much better when the kids actually get into the activity! #algebratiles #mtbos #iteachmath

@dcrescitelli @howie_hua This is exactly what I did!

@howie_hua I saw the five dice patterns, but knew that meant some holes were double counted. Super cool image, Howie!

This is my favorite dot talk image. Please screenshot and draw/share how you counted the holes.

@howie_hua Happy birthday! I don't know if I can pick just one - I love all your memes/videos, whether just as a lighthearted pick up or an eye opening mathematical shortcut/fact. I've shared so many of your posts with my students and colleagues and I always look forward to your next one!

It's my 30th birthday today! Awkward ask, but if you want to give me a birthday present, can you reply with something specific that I've shared that has impacted you, whether it's a math meme you laughed at, a teaching tip you used, or a math video you learned from?

Spreading some LOVE this morning on #internationalyarnbombingday at LHS. Thanks to @dadamltps for letting me yarn bomb our school! I love working for such a supportive district. @LTPS1 @CardinalsLHS #loveacrosstheusa #pride

@howie_hua How do we feel about ESL - English as a second language? That's usually how I've referred to these students in the past. To be fair, I suppose English could be their third or fourth language, but I do feel it emphasizes their assets.

Friendly reminder to consider saying “Emerging multilingual students” instead of “English language learners.” Focus on assets.

@mathequalslove Omg I've made hexaflexagons with my kids before but never considered making a giant one. I love it!

When all the juniors are doing state testing, the seniors make hexaflexagons. Every math teacher keeps a giant hexaflexagon around for demonstration purposes, right? #mtbos #iteachmath

@hypertrig Yes that's when I use feedback the most. I find it difficult to get kids to log back in when an assignment is completed. As they're working I look for errors, tell students to recheck work, direct them to revisit certain slides.

@mcsheenemath Hm it didn't occur to me to use feedback while it's happening. I should probably try that for off task Ss

I don't know that I have the mental bandwidth to successfully run a Desmos activity synchronously. How do you pace slides, narrate directions, find off task Ss, AND find responses to show the whole class in order to frame the discussion, all in real time?? #mtbos

Today's afternoon PD: Self care. Taking care of staff and wellness is very important, always appreciative when our district takes it seriously. @LTPS1

Last time I was at the CURE arena was almost two years ago for our last in person graduation. It feels very different today, but very fitting getting my vaccine here. I know we still have a long way to go, but I'm so happy to have taken this step forward. #wearamask

I'm still a bit in shock. Some last minute appointment openings last night and I managed to snag an appointment for today over my lunch break. Feeling so grateful today. The sun is shining, it feels like spring and hope.

Vaccinated! So grateful right now. #CovidVaccine
