First Milesplit poll of the year and we have a chance to vote for our very own Matt Hamilton for performer of the week! He won his junior race at Chandler running a brilliant race to take the lead in the last 400m and win by 7 seconds!

10 out of 10 would recommend listening to @pgliljedahl in person. Ready for another year of Thinking Classroom!!! Thanks @olivermikeaz for bringing him to AZ!
This was the best kind of surprise. My students are absolutely unparalleled (see what I did there? 😂😜) so this is the greatest compliment I could ask for! Thank you @RedMountainHS. I couldn't ask for a better place to work. #ilovemyjob – at Mesa, AZ

I just learned that the Māori word for autism is takiwatanga, ‘in his/her own time and space’. It’s such an empathic and gentle way to describe the condition I’m trying to come to terms with.
Oh. My. Word. Thank you @drrajshah for starting out my day with this. Couldn't have had a better start to a day full of learning. #NCTMINDY22 – at Indianapolis, IN
I don't know why it's taken me so many years to go from TALKING about dots of paint reflected over a line to them actually DOING it. #iteachmath – at Mesa, AZ
#ThinkingClassroom Day 4: @saravdwerf 's Kobe slides followed by some classroom bonding (before we start curriculum on Monday) through @ChartyPartyGame . Loved hearing them get to know each other through some laughter.
#ThinkingClassroom Day 3: Still pushing through noncurricular tasks. The tax collector problem, an #openmiddle problem and finished with some Four 4s when we had some extra time.
#thinkingclassrom Day 2: Would You Rather followed by The Unusual Baker. I was going to wrap up the last 5 minutes of 1st hour w/ a quick "good team qualities" review until a student said she wanted to finish the problem and (wait for it...) "this is fun." #iteachmath #heckyeah
This was the best first day of school... EVER! Year 23 so why not try doing something new? 😂 #thinkingclassroom @ Red Mountain High School instagram.com/p/CSIa7CAlLRe8… – at Mesa, AZ

Took our Inequality Escape Room outside during 2nd hour. Too bad we couldn't escape the heat so back in the classroom we went 3rd hour. 145th day of 100 degrees or more this year. Trying to figure out movement in the classroom right now is tough. #goawaysummer #iteachmath #MTBoS

The entire history of mathematics is about being slow and failing repeatedly. Also, everyone who ventured into this defeating labyrinth did so willingly. School math has been about speed and success with mandatory entry. Square peg meet round hole.
💯💯💯 I had a department head that taught AP Calc, computer programming AND Alg1.
Why is it common practice that the most effective Ts are placed in honors classes? Those Ts should be placed with the Ss that are in most need of a great teacher. On the flip side, ridiculous that new Ts get placed with students with the greatest needs. #equity #mtbos #iteachmath
