I love the flexibility of partial quotients! I saw this creative solution from Zoe Deziel in Grade 5 at MSES 😀 #partialquotients #mathisfun

Thanks to Mrs. Walsh at MSES for giving me the chance to share “Expanded Snakes” with her students 😀 A fun and creative way to practice writing numbers in expanded and standard form!

Some great strategies for parents/guardians who are looking to help with math homework! To borrow a quote from
@MathDenisNJ
"Questioning is at the heart of learning mathematics, not answering"

Excited and grateful for my new position as Math Specialist for Grades 2-6 😀 I'll still be maintaining my YouTube pages as resources for students and parents, so feel free to reach out with any questions or requests! 😀

I'll be using the same Google Meets address for all classes according to the school schedule, https://t.co/2xwqgCAs5o 😀 Consider it my digital classroom! I'll also be posting short videos to https://t.co/4snbNzBUol and https://t.co/9jlixtbnUg for student questions and big ideas!

[Thomas Gamache @GamacheMathGPS]

A friendly reminder, I'm available each day via Google Meets for questions & extra help. I've also been posting new help videos each day to my YouTube channels, https://t.co/9jlixtbnUg & https://t.co/NDIKqHKM36. I'm here to help!

[Thomas Gamache @GamacheMathGPS]

I want to thank everyone for their patience & support in this new learning environment! I've been busy putting instructional videos up on my YouTube channels while teaching from home: https://t.co/NDIKqHKM36 & https://t.co/9jlixtbnUg.

Feel free to reach out with feedback 😀

[Thomas Gamache @GamacheMathGPS]

Remote learning can be a challenge, especially for a statistics course! If you're struggling, check out my channel https://t.co/FSx60mMIb5! If you have a topic or problem you want me to cover, let me know 😀 #ghsmath

[Thomas Gamache @GamacheMathGPS]

Hope everyone is doing well! I've been posting videos on https://t.co/9jlixtbnUg to help Statistics students. If you have any Stats based questions, reach out to me and I'll put together a video for you 😀 Please continue to practice social distancing and be safe and healthy 😀

Today we learned about the senior class via hypothesis testing! Using our class as a random sample of the senior class, we assumed parameters & tried to prove whether the true parameter was greater or less. A lot of fun & a lot of learning! #ghsmath #ghscommunity#handsonlearning

What is truly an unexpected performance by an athlete? My CP Stats classes put together sampling Distributions of their favorite athletes so we can truly judge what to expect and what would be considered an outlying performance! #GHSMath #ghscommunity

[Thomas Gamache @GamacheMathGPS]

I just posted a few videos on Confidence Intervals to my Stats Channel, https://t.co/9jlixtbnUg. Any questions on Algebra or Stats, let me know! Happy New Year 😀 #GamacheStats #ghscommunity #ghsmath

[Thomas Gamache @GamacheMathGPS]

I just created a new YouTube channel devoted exclusively to Stats videos! If you have AP or CP Stats questions, send them my way and I can make a video for you! https://t.co/9jlixtbnUg #stats #GHScommunity #APstats

[Thomas Gamache @GamacheMathGPS]

Great work by my CP Stats class on The NY Times graph of the week! #nytimes #stats #ghscommunity

[Thomas Gamache @GamacheMathGPS]

I know a lot of math teachers these days are asked, "Why are students not just given notes that tell them how to do something? It worked for us years ago." This article is great evidence of the benefits of active learning vs. lecturing https://t.co/VT7thqGoTK

@MathDenisNJ @Mathgarden @mashupmath @mraspinall @NCTM @saravdwerf @Yummymath @HuckMath @robertkaplinsky @Math912Teacher @mathycathy When I worked as a land surveyor, there were times when the battery failed me & I was over a hundred acres deep in the woods. Also it's important to know when the calculator may be giving you an error. If you enter in an incorrect value, you need to know when an answer seems off.

[Thomas Gamache @GamacheMathGPS]

Great job by my Integrated Math students! Instead of being given definitions & examples of discrete & continuous data, they found them on their own last night, shared them, & we put it all
into 1 definition and one collection of examples!#ghscommunity #discoverybased
