LHS Future Teachers Club, led by teacher & advisor Mrs. Angela Brooder, attended a Careers in Ed conference at @buffalostate. Students were excited to discover that the keynote speaker was Mrs. Alison Camp from @WilliamStreet14, adding a special connection to the day’s events.

Thank you @howie_hua for the idea of turning “Which One Doesn’t Belong?” questions into a “convince me” competition!! The arguments were outstanding and my 6th graders were so engaged!

These kids got up a little earlier to prep for their first Math Olympiad Contest! @WilliamStreet14

My favorite slide from one of my favorite talks at @NCTM. One of the biggest challenges facing math teachers (whether they know it or not!) is turning wrong answers into learning. Behold! The Super Wrong, Kinda Right continuum. /by @ottensam https://t.co/r6VuU0AY5t

Students at William Street School were roaring into fall as they watched their teachers run a relay race wearing inflatable suits. Learn more about the day, and its message of community building, at https://t.co/XuV788ZhX4

Starting my football math unit early this year!! Nobody likes long division and word problems - hopefully our love for the Bills can soften the blow of the math!!

Saw this idea from @drnickimath recently. 🤩

Had my students fill out the true scale #multiplication table. Really helped them with a conceptual understanding of multiplication.

I gave them the template below, but #students could create from scratch.

@cluzniak @NCTM If you’re in NY, AMTNYS is a great deal at $40!

@robertkaplinsky I keep meaning to find grant money to have VR in my math class. Imagine the impact on learning geometry, rates, proportions, %, etc. Imagine the impact if kids could actually plant a garden, build a house or be in a store to find the best deal, cooking meals for proportions…

[Alison Camp @AlisonCamp10]

@Mathowitz Tough to answer without knowing the kid. C or D? But, if they were in class each day & showed understanding content, I’d have to ask myself if doing the work I assigned would give them a grade for content or is it really just a grade for showing responsibility & accountability?

We’re having fun prepping for the @FirstInMath tournament here @WilliamStreet14 @RobertSun24

Mass shootings are not a political issue. Men, Women and Children dying from mass shootings are not a political issue. Thoughts and prayers are not enough. America is a GREAT COUNTRY. Put the politics aside, work TOGETHER and pass laws to ensure we are no longer known as the land of mass shootings.

When you want to talk about your team all day, but you’re paid to teach math! Go Bills! @BuffaloBills @KyleBrandt @BuffaloFAMbase

[vanessa vakharia @TheMathGuru]

I don’t understand when parents are all “how dare they change the way math is taught, now I can’t help my kids.” Like babe, it’s not about YOU. It’s about helping your kids learn the same math YOU HATED … in a way that doesn’t lead to THEM hating it! #iteachmath

[Alison Camp @AlisonCamp10]

@robertkaplinsky @laurnaab I need to remember these!!!

[Alison Camp @AlisonCamp10]

@MApplegateESM @laurnaab So glad we could help!! Reach out anytime!
