Awesome collaboration between schools. Thanks to @BK_Mathematics from Trent for talking with @Lotz_Math from @phms_panthers about how she is using @MasteryConnect in her math classroom. @AganRocky @Trent_Principal

The talent of our Art 3 students is amazing! @ms_paulette_art @Trent_Principal @FISD_Libraries #trentreads

This week our Pre-AP Students we’re tasked with building “robots” out of 3D objects, calculating the surface area, and then testing their calculations by actually wrapping their robots in tin foil. This project is no joke and these kids killed it! #FriscoFutureReady #FISDMath

Algebra students collaborated w/ 8th Math to explore Systems of Equations (graphically & substitutions) #FISDMath ⁦@FISDMath⁩ #FriscoFutureReady #Trentified #collaboration ⁦@Trent_Principal⁩

@MsZ_History I LOVE this feature!

QR Code video scavenger hunt: In response to the diverse learners in my classroom I created videos to explore 8 different approaches to similar figures. I always thought my students would be successful if they had a mini me of their own to rewind and slow down at their will!

@ddmeyer 5.6 seconds!

Clutter. It’s the worst. This year I came with a plan to put everything in its own spot. It’s not perfect but it’s getting there! I’m LOVING how organized these drawers are keeping me. #iteachmath #iteachmiddleschool #teacherlife #teachersfollowteachers #teacherorganization

This author may be unknown but I’m pretty sure I said this yesterday when we were going over our tests. Sometimes you have a bad day and sometimes that day is when you take a math test. But it’s what you do with the days following that define you! #growthmindset #iTeachMath

RaceTrac Store is open. It is important to understand that once you arrive on FISD property, you are not allowed to leave the campus to walk over and return to school. Some students have tried to walk over after being dropped off. This also applies to after school events.

@ThingsMSKidsSay We did similar figures today, I asked the same thing and got AARON and Billy Bob in response. 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Bethany Kelly @BK_Mathematics]

@ddmeyer @ThingsMSKidsSay I learn the most by attempting to explain the same concept three different ways for all the diverse learners in the room. Then, my knowledge is stretched by the out of the box questions I get in return.

[Bethany Kelly @BK_Mathematics]

We started a new unit today! #similarfigures #iteachmiddleschool #FISDmath #7thgrade

“If math anxiety is a thing, then why can’t math empowerment be a thing too?...”ALL STUDENTS can be empowered through learning math”
I stole this post from mixandmath on instagram. Her research aligns so much with my experience I just had to share! #FISDmath #reTRENTless

[The Standards-Based Classroom @SBclassroom]

We can’t assume students are thinking critically...
“We need to ensure that they are doing so, which means teaching critical thinking skills like any other skills and defining them clearly, articulating the skill progression, and providing lots of time to instruct and practice.”

[Bethany Kelly @BK_Mathematics]

This week my students reviewed percent by walking a scavenger hunt. Students excel when their review is self checking and self motivating! Thanks @maneuveringthemiddle for such a great resource!
