@GiftedTawk It evolved. It continues to evolve.

@pwharris Oh my! I thought I was the only one. It's as if I am compelled to do so. It is annoying when it is unbalanced. With 5, I end up 2:3 when it's a dozen carton.

[Jane Aini @JaneAini3]

@bevmalke1 @pwharris My method as well. I've been teaching my 6ths graders this wonderful method on our Wednesday Zoom days. I am starting to see them implementing it in their everyday math.

@pwharris A is my favorite! I love using quarters to mathematize whenever I get the chance!

[Jane Aini @JaneAini3]

@SraPerucho @MarkChubb3 @NumberShapes I'm looking forward to using this. TY

@MathigonOrg @davidporas Is there a way I can assign to my Ss without going through Google Classroom? My district won't let me bc it's not 2D compliant. 😔

[Jane Aini @JaneAini3]

@MrHonner I am using this as a warm up activity for my 6th graders next M/T A/B day Ss.🧮

What can you make? https://t.co/UZtjFcfrvR

@chipnanimus I want 27 to be 30 so I take 3 away from 48, leaving me with 45. That plus 30 is so much easier. Also, make 48 a 50 taking 2 from 27. 50.+ 25.

[Jane Aini @JaneAini3]

@DanShuster @openmiddle Thank you so much, Dan. You are a great virtual colleague and mentor. 🧮

Has anyone ever used Spirograph in their math lessons? #buildmathminds20 #mtbos

[Jane Aini @JaneAini3]

@dbongino Putting politics aside, go back and watch/listen to that video again. He is struggling to get a complete thought out. That deeply concerns me.

7/
So what to do?
1. Plan for 100% asynchronous instruction.
2. Make short instructional videos
3. Use robust LMS to foster student-to-student interaction
4. Allow for some student self-pacing
5. Use multiple daily Zoom check ins for relationship building and curricular help

If I was in the classroom still I’d definitely explore using @classtag as my communication tool. It’s free with benefits. Easy to use.

Hey fellow mathematicians! We're celebrating over here because we've just hit 3,000 downloads for the Math is Figureoutable podcast! Whoohoo! If you haven't listened yet, what are you waiting for?

[Jane Aini @JaneAini3]

@druinok I did a WODB where the Ss had to select one or more and give a mathematical reason why. They loved it.

[Jane Aini @JaneAini3]

@NikCotterOCT @pwharris My approach as well. And, I always hesitate with the "!" in the Math community as well! LOL!

[Jane Aini @JaneAini3]

@Trianglemancsd I put in my request. This will be a great way to encourage my younger sister to get my nieces off the cell phones. It is so hard to get close to them/ engage with them. They need more social interaction.🥰
