This fall, the ODU MathFest hosted three in-school MathFests throughout Hampton Roads! Teachers received training, professional development hours, and materials for their classrooms. All students interacted with a diverse set of activities and received giveaways at each event.

LET’S GO!!! #1minwalk2work throwback reminder! It’s hard to take care of kids when you’re not taking care of yourself. EAT. REST. LAUGH. First week TEACHER TIRED is often more about the weeks leading up to the first week than it is about the first week. Take care of yourself.

Logan’s been learning about primes at school so we checked out how every prime (apart from the pesky 2 and 3) is one away from a multiple of six! ❤️

Teachers don't need to get better at managing their workload...teachers need a more realistic workload.

What's the difference between a strategy and a model? Who cares? Is that important? I think so. More important than you might think. I wrote about it here: mathisfigureoutable.com/blog… #MTBoS #ITeachMath #MathIsFigureOutAble #Elemmathchat #MSmathchat #HSmathchat
