PSA: Stop saying that you teach ‘the low kids.’ There are no low kids. Maybe low support, maybe low learning environments, maybe low curriculum and maybe even low teaching. But, there. Are. No. Low. Kids.

Compiled this @Desmos as Ss' 1st experience w/ variables on both sides eq. They began it on their own after finishing a quiz yesterday. I'm learning a TON about Ss' initial thoughts by asking, "What questions do you have for me?" 😍 #iteachmath #MTBoS teacher.desmos.com/activityb…

I have done this at the bottom of every exit ticket when we use @Desmos in class. It’s such an easy way for the kids to learn that mathematicians look like them and are not all dead white men! Thanks for keeping the list so diverse! @AlgebraDesmos

This new water fountain was installed right down my hallway on Tuesday. I plan to take a picture each day I fill my bottle and use the data for regression analysis in class. (# of days since installed as x, # of bottles filled as y) #MTBoS #iteachmath

I recommend dealing with difficult people the same way you deal with your favorite people: with kindness, patience, respect, and understanding.

When you sit down to make something for your class and your cat joins you. And then you think oooh - I bet he’d love sliders. @desmos #newcattoy

Hot off the digital presses: @MrJohnRowe has made an awesome free eBook that contains a collection of #iteachmath teaching resources and strategies. #MTBoS people will have seen some before, but never before so thoughtfully curated. Download it from mrrowe.com/book/
There were a lot of important pieces on education in 2018, but The Opportunity Myth might take the cake. Read the report on students' need for grade-level work – and the sad fact that many aren't given the chance to take it on. buff.ly/2xM9zcR #cpchat #ilachat #mathchat
