Algebra 1 did some point plotting with a variety of drag and drop/slide activities. #teach180 #iteachmath

We are currently studying functions in Algebra 1. Here is a cut and sort activity that they worked on where they had time decide if something was a function or not. So fun! #teach180 #iteachmath

Precalc. took a break and did a mystery box day! With random supplies, they had to build something to solve a design challenge. So fun! #teach180 #iteachmath #STEM

We had Open House last week. This was my pre-open house dance to de-stress and pump myself up for the night. My dress has math and science on it, rocking some math earrings, and even have some math on my boots! 100% nerdy math teacher! #teach180 #iteachmath #dance

Algebra 1 recently did some equation solving stations around the room and halls. Love it when they work in other places and get up! #teach180 #iteachnath

Talked about function discontinuities this past week, and look how cute they are! #teach180 #iteachmath #math

Precalc was reviewing quadratics recently. Some of them were totally into the coloring too! Smiles and colors in math are always a win! #teach180 #iteachmath #coloring

My students made monster glyphs to start the year. Each part of their monster says something about themselves! For example, # of limbs = # of family members. So adorable and lovely class decor! #iteachmath #teach180

Every year on one of the first few days of school , I use @saravdwerf’s 1-100 activity because it is engaging and is a great model to show what group work looks like. #teach180 #iteachmath

Almost time for school to start! A colleague is making a goals board for her students, so I filled one out as an example. #iteachmath #teach180 #smile

Made Precalc. some bottle cap name magnets with personal notes. I always get sentimental at the end of the year! #teach180 #iteachmath

Keeping it positive as we prep for the Regents in Algebra Foundations! #teach180 #iteachmath

Precalc practicing the power rule for deeivatives with a pretty design puzzle. Math is so fun! #teach180 #iteachmath

Her shirt + my sign = math fun! #teach180 #iteachmath

Algebra Foundations did some box and whisker plots, white board style. A few did planks in between. #teach180 #iteachmath

A little bit of timed cup stacking to intro statistics in Algebra Foundations! We had so much fun and I must admit that I reigned cupsracking Queen! #iteachmath #teach180

One of my stools broke, so a student practiced his welding skills to fix it! A little orange paint and we’ll be all set! #teach180 #iteachmath

Some kiddos wrote thank you notes or notes of kindness to teachers for teacher appreciation week. Then, some origami to fold them up! So fun and I’m sure many smiling faces when received! #teach180 #iteachnath #KindnessMatters
