I need to start stocking up on funny math t-shirts. Any suggestions for websites?

SMP 4, Model with Mathematics, as a weather forecast: partly cloudy with temps in the high 70s with a dew point of 54 because when you are starting to ask and answer your own questions about your mathematical findings, the road ahead may seem dark and be clouded with confusion

I can think back to the time in high school where it seemed my invitation was revoked. Teachers at times don’t realize the impact their words have on students. How can I extend the invitation in a school that may not allot for it?@KanekaTurner cc:@normabgordon #LUMathMethods

UNICEF is doing great work in Mozambique with its child-friendly school structure.

Question from a preservice teacher: how can we include math centers in middle school classrooms to give students more hands on activities?

[Amara @Amara1859]

Q7) We see it in exams or math world problems that aren't asked to see what you've learned but there to see how well you know the language and nothing more. #Educolor

[Amara @Amara1859]

@BSATeacher @EduColorMVMT Love this idea. I wish It was seen more when I was in elementary and middle school. #Educolor

[Amara @Amara1859]

@BonnieM37710604 So glad to see a familiar face!!

A0) good evening everyone. My name is Amara Obiora, I am a preservice sophomore teaching student at Lesley University. I came here tonight to branch out and learn more about educational equity! #Educolor

Q1) I think multiliteracy is the different ways we take in knowledge that isn't just our typical reading and writing. It can take forms in musical interpretations, or visual hands-on activities. #Educolor

I was able to attend a great workshop on empowering students as owners of their mathematical thinking directed Sarah at the NCMT conference. It was an awesome experience that I’m glad to have partaken in.
