@pwharris I thought about 72% of 1000 equaling 720. 250 is 1/4th of 1000, so I thought about 1/4th of 720. That’s 180.

@EDU_kgriffin I think I've been each of those classrooms before. I feel that technology can be a great tool for inquiry and exploration, but a lot of times it can turn into just a digital form of a worksheet or practice. I would love to be a classroom 3 more often!

[Amy Hoelscher @ARHoelscher]

@EDU_kgriffin Yes! During our math talks, I often remind the students that I'm not so concerned with their answer, but more interested in how they thought about the question or task. We can learn a lot from "wrong" answers too.

[Amy Hoelscher @ARHoelscher]

@slm96b @EDU_kgriffin That reminds me of this quote from #LCInnovation. "Teachers who invest the time in learning about their students, their strengths, interests, and goals are best equipped to design authentic and relevant learning experiences based on students and their unique context."

[Amy Hoelscher @ARHoelscher]

@gannon_sarah17 @EDU_kgriffin Yes it does! I have also had to become okay with each class period being at a different place, and sometimes needing different instruction and activities.

[Amy Hoelscher @ARHoelscher]

@wells_lacie @EDU_kgriffin This is spot on for me as well!

[Amy Hoelscher @ARHoelscher]

@gannon_sarah17 @EDU_kgriffin This is great! This is something I have to constantly work on. It's tough to balance!

[Amy Hoelscher @ARHoelscher]

@EDU_kgriffin The experiences I've had as an educator over the past 8 years have greatly impacted my teaching practice. A few notable things that have changed are the discussions I facilitate in my math classes, as well as the questioning that I use. I love to learn and grow as an educator!

[Amy Hoelscher @ARHoelscher]

@EDU_kgriffin Looking forward to learning from and with my coworkers and growing my teaching practice.

[Amy Hoelscher @ARHoelscher]

Loved the conversations my students were having when presented with this Math Talk today!

[Amy Hoelscher @ARHoelscher]

@HowWeTeach Thank you for clarifying, Michelle!

[Amy Hoelscher @ARHoelscher]

@HowWeTeach @adooz @iteachmathAll @robertkaplinsky We did a Sum It Up (or Group Sum) activity earlier this year that went great! Also, @HowWeTeach I’m thinking a Question Pyramid (I’m not sure what you ended up calling them) would work well here!

[Amy Hoelscher @ARHoelscher]

@HowWeTeach @MQIclaire @TracyZager Yes!! Individual think time is SO important!

If you’re a teacher… don’t assume your students know you care about them. You gotta show ‘em… every day. If you’re an administrator... don’t assume your teachers know you support them. You gotta show ‘em… every day.

[Amy Hoelscher @ARHoelscher]

@HowWeTeach @DrPickelNation Yes @HowWeTeach ! I have something like this list posted in my classroom! I got the idea from @ejtf25 . She had tweet about it a few weeks ago.

[Amy Hoelscher @ARHoelscher]

@HowWeTeach Thank you for sharing!!

Dear Teachers,
When reading your class roster, please remember that there are no accidents. Paths cross for a reason; you are meant to be in each of your students lives. Make a difference, inspire & encourage.Make a decision that this will be the best year yet.

[NCTM @NCTM]

Whether it’s your first, fifth, or fifteenth year of teaching, NCTM has the tips and tools you need to head back to school ready for the new year! https://t.co/9cdYf3v1ul

True or false: this is all the same DEAL!
