As a Ukrainian immigrant, it's been horrific to see footage of this war and hear stories from friends and family about their attempts to escape and survive. Some friends and I started a non-profit that directly sends aid to Ukraine. ukrainetrustchain.org 1/4

@mpershan Omg so accurate! To be fair, I'm not done either. But the slog...

Not quite done with "Books of Jacob" but the end of Dwight Garner's review 100% resonates:

@averypickford 😢 sad to see you go. But I get it.

Elementary Trig has such a beautiful, visual nature. Need to make math class a place to slow down and appreciate it. Cc @MCTMmath

@stoodle My fave books for this: - Teaching Mathematics Meaningfully - Can I Tell You About Dyscalculia - Executive Functions for Every Classroom - Routines for Reasoning - The Trouble with Maths - 11 Effective Strategies for Teaching Math to Students Who Have Given Up on Learning

@stoodle Are you looking for books on the topic or something else?

#wodb has a new home! Thanks to @MaryBourassa for curating for many years, @Trianglemancsd for taking it into the future. talkingmathwithkids.com/wodb/

Teaching directed number soon? "Proof by Patterns" is a nice way to see why a − (−b) = a + b. Start from the top row and encourage pupils to see what patterns they spot. mathsbot.com/grids/commutat…

Looking to get your kids explaining their reasoning in math class? Have them defend their choice to this @openmiddle problem about area and perimeter of squares. openmiddle.com/squares-perime…

@MNmMath @samjshah2 Awww look at all those cute faces! Miss you guys.

@calarmstrong @ilana_horn 👍 good to know

@ablinstein @ilana_horn I think Lani is only on BlueSky now bsky.app/profile/ilanah…

@MathMinds Bummed to have missed your session (mine was concurrent). Would you be willing to share out your slides? Thanks for considering 🙏

#NCSM24 bound! Excited to learn with & from @SeafordBluejays @mrscphillips72, Katie, Billy and all of the other amazing educators at the conference. Join us on Wednesday morning bright and early to chat Learning Labs and next steps to make them a reality in your school/district!

If you're coming to my session this morning, here's a link to my slides docs.google.com/presentation/d… #NCSMCHI24 Hope to see some of you at 8 am 🥳

If you're coming to NCSM this week, I'm presenting Wednesday at 8 am on structures that support deeper student-led mathematical conversations, with shout-outs to @AmyLucenta and @GraceKelemanik (Routines for Reasoning), @cluzniak (Debate Math), and @kassiaowedekind (Hands Down)!

@MrCorleyMath @Desmos @NatBanting @parkermathed Love that! So simple, but seems like it adds a really complementary tool to the Menu Math activity.

@ablinstein @Desmos @NatBanting @parkermathed Did a linear activity and participants create the equation on the line on Desmos. I love sharing great resources when I do PDs with schools.

I worked with a school in NC yesterday for @Desmos . We did Menu Math + Desmos and it was amazing! Thanks @NatBanting for these amazing resources and @parkermathed for the idea! Check it out #iteachmath : natbanting.com/menu-math/

Things got busy out of nowhere so I didn't make a cute graphic, but join me Friday morning as we Demystify Elementary Math for Secondary Teachers! Friday 9/27 @ 9:30, 503b McCormick Place #NCTMCHI24

@cluzniak @AmyLucenta @GraceKelemanik @kassiaowedekind I'll be recommending your book and site heavily so it's like you're here 😉 but yes, it would be even better with you here!

@ablinstein @AmyLucenta @GraceKelemanik @kassiaowedekind Oh fun! Wish i could be there!

Drilling deeper into the difference between content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge, which differentiates between what teachers know and what those who only study the subject know.

Great intro to building pedagogical content knowledge from @jennalaib by having us engage with a problem and examining teacher moves that support students' mathematical thinking in that problem #NCSMchi24
