(1/2) All the struggles, the frustration, the "don't give up" (not just to them but ourselves sometimes), the parent phones calls and meetings, the late nights grading, the after-school extra math help, and "when will I need this in real life?"....
This is a great example of why the world of math and engineering needs diversity in order for society to progress. Math is more than "being a nerd", it's about identifying and solving real-world problems, and different perspectives to bring innovation.

The Muhlen-bird is back! And not just one this year...there are THREE! (one flew away before I took the picture, but came back later)
I had to TWEET about it :-P
Oof, hard hitting message but true! And sometimes it's easy to overlook the needs of quiet students, but they sometimes need the most care.
Hey @BurgerKing ....is there anyway I could request one of those "221,184 ways to order a Whopper" posters for my classroom? I teach math and I'd love to use it for an example of calculating combinations....and free advertising for you so that's a fair trade, right? :-)
L.R. Knost is always spot on with parenting lessons but even things meant for young children are true for teenagers as well. I find that with some students "ask instead of demand" can go a long way, sometimes it's hard to remember when things get frustrating, but we all try.
This is so cool. I want to build this to put in the classroom!
√1, √2, √3, √4, √5, √6, √7, √8, √9, √10 and √11 all under one roof. Workings in comments section. #surds #math #pythagorastheorem #pythagoras
Of course I forgot to take pictures again....but sharing anyway: my 9th grade honors classes used similar triangles and shadow measurements to calculate the height of the school building today!
Beautiful weather for going outdoors to discover real-world math.
Anyone else having issues with #GoogleClassroom that it's loading slowly, or not loading at all, and when viewing an assignment to return grades the page constantly reloads every time you scroll??
That moment on a Friday evening when you're trying to update grades so you can go into the weekend feeling caught up but Google Classroom decides it's a good time to work on whatever and slow everything down.
Silly Google thinking teachers don't work on weekends.
