Summer learning…Some key take away from today’s Maths Anxiety in the Classroom webinar. Thanks @mrskidson14! #CVMScougarPride #middleschoolmath
While I think adaptations would need to be made for my students, the idea of a “trio” is a good launching point! This coming school year is definitely going to require creativity for building relationships!
I was just wrestling with this same question yesterday! I think I'm going to assign students to a "trio" and have accountability systems in place to ensure they discuss prompts. Here's my writeup of it: docs.google.com/document/d/1…
Isn’t it now more than ever important for students to be able to look at data and figure out what is fact vs fiction?! Once again @joboaler speaks to my math soul. Thanks for the Data Revolution webinar. @cvusd_math I love the idea of Data Talks!

What if - hear me out for a minute - instead of stressing about lost content, we spent a bunch of weeks next year doing spatial puzzles and spatial activities???
If you can’t imagine doing this, you might want to see this research:

Getting ready to “see” my kids! Giddy and excited! Distance learning starts now....! @CajonValleyMS
My coworker and I did our first zoom with students today. We tried an online version of @youcubed’s Four 4’s. While we learned we can do some things better, the kids loved it and wanted to know when we could do it again. #CVMScougarPride @CajonValleyMS @cvusd_math
Now that is funny. @cvusd_math
Since I can't give my students their birthday postcards and pencils right now, I'm doing the next best thing and mailing them home. I miss my Cougars! #CVMScougarPRIDE @CajonValleyMS

The math that people really use isn’t seen in schools...listened to @joboaler call for the need of data science in schools. How can we integrate this into the @CVWorldofWork? I feel like these two things go together. @CajonValleyUSD #cmcsouth2019
CVMS launched Red Ribbon week today. While there are many fabulous people who make this happen, it wouldn’t happen without Laura Stabile and Stacey Isom! Today’s theme: “I MUSTACHE you not to do drugs.” #CVMSmakesPAWSitivechoices @CajonValleyUSD @CajonValleyMS
This is why I do my job and these are the emails I cherish. #MiddleSchoolMath #CVMScougarPRIDE
The 7th grade team...before and after. #bestyearever #7thgrade #CVMSCougarPride #TeamworkMakesTheDreamWork @CajonValleyMS @CajonValleyUSD
It’s the little things that make me happy. My goal is to get math all around my students. Here my first attempt on the bulletin board in the hallway. #iTeachMath #middleschool #CVMScougarPRIDE
In #NecessaryConditions, @geoffkrall talks about a teacher that creates and teaches problem-solving strategies (chapter 9). Will the people of #MTBoS be willing to share some of the most important problem solving-strategies you teach your students? #iteachmath #middleschool
Take aways from the #NSTConference
1) Relationships are always the priority.
2) The skills kids need when they leave school are constantly changing and evolving. They need to be prepared for anything.
3) @CajonValleyUSD has a lot of work to do but all the right people to do it!💙
Students did another experiment today...we have been studying probability by looking at how the number of trials done effects the probability of an event. #iTeachMath #CVMScougarPRIDE @CajonValleyMS
State testing is over, which means it’s time for some probability games/experiments to go down. @koolkat2325 @CajonValleyMS #Iteachmath #CVMScougarPride
