I've been exploring numeral systems with middle school kids this past year, and I'm excited to share what I've learned so far at CMC South. We will engage in math activities, hear from students, and learn about a few numeral systems from history. #cmcmath @CAMathCouncil

@julierwright Yes! Same. Is the 8th grade one about deriving y=mx +b from y=mx supposed to include all of that?! I guess so....but make it clear!

I find it kind of horrifying that it is really unclear which math standard(s) address writing or graphing equations in slope-intercept form or identifying them from graphs. If you can find it (aside from implicitly, e.g. with systems), let me know.

@NovaKatz @ddmeyer OMG a graph paper stamp would be so helpful

@ddmeyer Rolling stamps that would *actually* be useful: ~ Rectangle maker so students can make area models ~ Base ten blocks ~ A number line? (That's kind of a lame one) Oh I know there *must* be other really cool use cases for a rolling stamper... 🤔🤔🤔

Please go invent sandpaper Kleenex or something else with more social value than this please. #iteachmath

@ValeriaBrownEdu Parents. Teachers/schools. Media - especially TV shows + movies.

@heymrsbond @anniek_p @SouleSharon @MrTomRad Agree! Since when do problems in society mean we can't address those problems in our classroom.

@untilnextstop @matherinep I love this idea and am curious how long it takes each day. Does everyone share their answer? Do they explain their thinking? Thanks!

Agree! I started asking my class an "attendance question" at the start of class every day (who do you look up to, what's the best superhero movie, etc.) and it's done so much to build community. I feel like I know more about my students this year than in years past.

Bigger corporate profits account for *over half* of the higher prices people are paying.

@raj_raizada "ignoring the question for a moment....what do we know from this problem and what could we figure out?"

Question for #MTBoS folks: what do you find helps students who get stuck on math problems due to not seeing a first step to take? I'm trying usual stuff (break problem down into smaller parts, list info you do know, etc.), but I'm curious what additional approaches people have

@ddmeyer @StephDoesMath @MathTeach_BEW Is it possible to "master" issues of equity and social justice?! Hell no!

@StephDoesMath @MathTeach_BEW In teaching about math, I need to be able to speak at a high, plain, and simple level about the point of middle school math, and also have mastery over the operations. I think the same is true about teaching about teaching, including issues about equity & justice.

@LampertJessica Don Steward has amazing resources and your @Desmos version is so impressive! Planning to share your activity with other teachers at my school. Thank you for sharing and glad that the timing was right :) #mtbos #iteachmath

@helfrederick I was thrilled to pieces to get this resource in my inbox today. hailstonesequence.com/index.php/2022… I love the worksheets you attached. Here is my Desmos version. It’s almost perfect. teacher.desmos.com/activitybuilde…

@RandySwift9 I don't know what it looks like for literacy, but the Georgia Numeracy Project has grade level expectations for K-8.

Is there research showing a grade by which S’s should have developed a certain level of numeracy similar to what is shown for S’s not reading on grade level by G3?

@mrshawthorne7 @autographmaths @nathanday314 I love your site. Thank you for sharing your work + notes!

You’ll find both resources, as downloadable PPTs, here: SketchCPD.com/resources Thanks to @autographmaths for the great Web Autograph which is so easy to use to create the style and labelling of axes. And to @nathanday314 for his ever-helpful advice :)

Couldn’t find a task on finding the equations of linear graphs which had the variation in the scaling of the axes that I wanted so I’ve made this. There’s some nice discussion to be had around 1&4 (same equation, ‘look’ different) and 5&6 (‘look’ the same, different equation)

@Kareemfarah23 How do you see UDL fit into your vision for differentiation?

Differentiation continues to be the most overused and under-executed term in education. It’s because differentiation can’t just be a series of one-off strategies. It needs to be the backbone of instructional models and necessitates constant 1-1 and small-group discussion.

@shskaercher $$ but also - as a classroom teacher - the time away from students...when I'm at a conference, they have a sub which usually means, no learning.

Is $$ the biggest obstacle for you attending conferences?

Just curious. When you attend a conference who pays for your registration fee?

@shskaercher And of course Building Thinking Classrooms....I gave my copy away and never got it back so I have the digital version for back up.

Anyone else want to add a pic of their math-teacher bookshelf? #MTBoS #iteachmath

@Mr_Rablin I've written a bit about how I've experimented with creating and using SBG rubrics with my middle school kids: hailstonesequence.com/index.php/2021…

Friends, I need some help. I have someone looking for resources for standards-based grading in math. Where should I send them? Who should I point them towards?

@KentHaines I can see it help some teachers shift their perception of students ideas because the language encourages us to see value in what kids do think and know even if they are "wrong."

@KentHaines I think if Ts already believe that kids are coming to the table with lots of ideas(ie conceptions) about math that may or may not be "right" and that our job is to understand their thinking+engage with their reasoning.....the "it's not a misconception" feels annoying. But 1/2

@MsOTweets77 Creating tables has worked well for my students in the past.
