In middle and high school, asking students to struggle with key concepts before teaching the correct solutions is highly effective. But use the tactic surgically to avoid too much frustration.

ALT Did You Know?: When 9th grade students wrestled with math problems to find their own solutions before receiving instruction, their comprehension nearly doubled, compared to students learning via direct instruction only. In middle and high school, asking students to struggle with key concepts before teaching the correct solutions is highly effective. But use the tactic surgically to avoid too much frustration.

Algebra students burned off some energy after NJSLA testing by collecting two data sets which we will use to explore scatter plots, interpolation, and extrapolation.
8th grade Pre Algebra students created their own flexible seating yesterday and were so proud of their work, they requested I post these pictures on social media.

What a special day! We dedicated our OMS courtyard to Mrs. Susan Grosser. We were very lucky to have her back even if it was for a short time. We want to thank everyone who made this day possible.
WELCOME TO GROSSER’S GARDEN!
Happy Holidays from my @tabschools Algebra students. Another year of impressive linear holiday graphing projects!
Pretty sure my students thought I was nuts when I said we were doing an auction in class today...but @mathequalslove Function Auction was a success!
Thank you @mathequalslove...my kiddos are loving these activities today!
Looking for a last minute Halloween activity?

Thank you to @Tabschools Mrs. Bauer for the breakfast of champions reward for the Red Ribbon Week door decorating contest! The 8th graders loved their breakfast sandwiches!
Forensics Friday students received a crash course on blood typing and successfully solved a crime matching the blood type found at the crime scene to one of the suspects. Proud of these @Tabschools kiddos for their hard work each week!
In our @Tabschools Friday Forensics course, students built up our class fingerprint database and analyzed their own prints using a balloon to help enlarge the details.
Today students were making sense of what it means to be a "perfect square" with visual models. We also used the models to help us approximate non perfect squares.
Students rocked their first curricular task...a number sort! We later consolidated the groups into the 5 classifications of real numbers. Referring back to the white board groupings helped students make sense of the broader classifications.
Day 2 of @Tabschools Algebra 1 class and day 2 of @pgliljedahl 's Thinking Classroom. Celebrating student collaboration and a variety of different strategies used to solve "The Tax Collector" problem!

Today is a historical day for #suicideprevention & #mentalhealth in the U.S.! The National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, now known as the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline, can be more easily reached by calling or texting 988, or chatting on 988lifeline.org. #988Lifeline

Test corrections turn into a collaborative poster project. 🤓 Students work in teams of 3 to correct and reflect on 3 items of their choosing. Afterwards, they view other teams posters and leave comments on sticky notes 🥳 #iteachmath #mtbos
Congratulations to the @Tabschools class of 2022! What a beautiful night and a fitting celebration of all you have achieved!
