@TeacherT14 Same as have one period go perfectly with all on task and next group is all over the place

@Trianglemancsd I was wondering why I couldn’t find it when writing most recent unit plans.

@anniek_p Sometimes just taking my son outside would get him to stop bawling as an infant. Go outside! Also just add water. Sometimes a drink, a bath, or a run through the sprinkler can change the mood.

Okay, well, if this place is finally imploding, I better ask while I can. I have twins arriving in 2.5-3 months. Hit me with your best, most useful bit of parenting advice while I still have this community to ask.

@MarcusLuther6 More support in lessons for students with ieps and those learning english. More time to collaborate with co teacher and more time to give students feedback vs a grade

@JennSWhite Plain cheerios?

@NolanFossum @MathigonOrg Middle. I see the pattern as adding a row with an additional square. Don’t see adding a column. Not sure why.

Okay math friends, which of these three Triangular Numbers growing patterns makes the most sense to you, and why? Please vote with reason in the comments. Please rt. TIA #MTBoS #iteachmath made with @MathigonOrg polypad

@sophgermain Came home from work. My husband said um i left our baby on the ottoman to get a diaper and he rolled off onto tile floor. He is now 7 and a ball of energy and dramatic flair.

I went to see The Good Dinosaur a few months after my premie son was born and cried repeatedly. My husband thought I was a little looney. Thanks Mary Laura Philpott for sharing. As I read Bomb Shelter I have a lot of hey I can relate moments! @MaryLauraPh

@MrsSheehanMath Some of my students like to do qbitz game after quiz. They can do alone or with others if they do it silently.

What are your favorite things for students to do after a test? We have 82 min blocks. One of my classes has assessments like every other week (it’s a very fast paced class). I don’t want to give them homework and some students need more time than others. #mtbos #iteachmath

@anniek_p Baby goes to market.

Hi, please send me your favorite kid’s book titles. I’d like a list so I can keep my eyes out at 2nd hand stores and the like. Board books are great, but I’ll happily keep a list for all ages.

Played trashketball review game Friday. The kids were really into it! Just need to tweak it to make sure all are involved. A few self appointed benchwarmers.

@MoniseLSeward I use it and love it. My co teacher is a fan too.

A student gifted me an apple yesterday. That is a first for me.

@offgridteacher Math early finishers-Tangram puzzles, qbitz or qbitz jr depending on age,

Teachers: What do you do for early finishers? I’d like to create alternatives to besides worksheets and more time on the tech programs I’m already using (Zearn, Epic, Raz Kids, Lalilo, and Freckle).

Got very excited today when a student told me they were headed to Minnesota state fair. Told them they must go to Math on a stick! @MathOnAStick

My son attends the school I teach at. Today a student told me he met my son (2nd) who told him (7th) I know everything about your teacher because she is my mom.

it is that time of the year again – teachers are planning ice breakers, introductory activities, and making first-day slide decks. here are some reminders from your favorite non-binary teacher-scholar-friend.

@mrsjjee It’s delicious and less likely to stick to roof of your mouth.
