It's crazy how such a minor tweak like labeling problems as mild, medium, and spicy drastically improves student engagement by giving them choice. From @pgliljedahl #thinkingclassroom #cmcsouth

Math is more than answer-getting which is why our curriculum asks students for ...
👉 sketches
👉 estimates
👉 processes
👉 and much more!

I'm convinced teachers will have a much easier upcoming year if they understand math as a good TV show and understand students as having missed a couple of episodes. More here. 👇 danmeyer.substack.com/p/surv…

💯 Yes!
Today's PSA: "Learning Loss" is a made-up construct and only serves to deflate students, educators, and caregivers. It invalidates their hard work and resiliency, ignores all the learning that happened, and adds unnecessary stress. #remotelearning #education

Twitter, we need your help!
We have an idea for @cheezit but they cannot accept confidential ideas, so we have to make it public.
Check out the thread and let them know that you want to live in a world where mathematical CHEEZ-ITS exist. 📢
My 11yo comes back to this daily right now, it makes so much more sense to her!
Absolutely thrilled that these new #betterflashcards are available right now, online, for free!
Spread the word to anyone who's tempted to have their kids or students use old-fashioned flashcards for multiplication.

Thank you @Desmos for the list of students in my class who should be in the assigned activity!! This makes it SO MUCH easier to know immediately who I need to reach out to and help get connected. 💚 #desmos #MTBoS #iteachmath
So many really helpful suggestions to level up student engagement and collaboration online!
I wrote up all the ways that I build community and have students engage in virtual math class that don't require webcams. No special apps needed besides Zoom, Google Slides, and Google Jamboard. @howie_hua @MrsParkShine @IllustrateMath #MTBoS #iteachmath
