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.

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

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

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.

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.

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)!
If you're coming to my session this morning, here's a link to my slides docs.google.com/presentation…

Hope to see some of you at 8 am 🥳

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!

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
Great session with @AmyLucenta and @GraceKelemanik on redesigning IEP goals to focus on mathematical thinking because "goals drive expectations, interactions, and outcomes." Consider an IEP goal that says, "add decimals with 80% accuracy" vs this updated goal. #NCSMCHI24
