I am teaching a master's course on Assessment in Mathematics Education starting April 12. The course is entirely online and will run Wednesdays 4:00 - 7:00 PST until July 14. Because it is all online it is open to anyone who wants to register as a non-degree student. 1/2
Less than 2 weeks to vote in @nctm election. I'm excited to be a candidate for President-Elect as a classroom teacher. I'd be honored to serve the council and math educators in this role.
Just over 3 weeks left to vote for @nctm elections. I'm honored to be a candidate for president-elect as a current 8th grade math teacher. Read more details at https://t.co/mxVv9V8wSN. #mtbos#iteachmath
I had never heard of either of these methods for finding the middle of a flat object. What do you notice? What do you wonder?

With the launch of Building #ThinkingClassrooms yesterday (https://t.co/iH0HMwwSBv) I am happy to also announce the launch of the accompanying website (https://t.co/EoH6qzgZOk). There is still work to be done, but I hope you enjoy it.
Is teaching in this new context challenging? (Yes, clearly)
This network of learning has options for everyone especially during the pandemic! #iTeachMath
ICYMI...Here is a replay of my webinar, "Demystifying the Fraction Rules we Teach". If you want to know why fraction rules work...I've got your back. https://t.co/PY45PIv0iC
There are ONLY 10 DAYS LEFT to watch it. #elemmathchat#iteachmath
Started class today with a non-math q: is a burrito a sandwich? Then one S informed me of the “cube rule of food” and it became a mathematical question followed by a proof. Mind blown. #iteachmath
Thank you for sharing. Absolutely!!! Just last week, my son's teacher tried to unilaterally decide to undo robust & explorative IEP math goals in favor of mastering 1-to-1 correspondence. I said NO WAY! My son is starting 10th grade...
If you are teaching at home, look in your kitchen for math tasks to bring to your classes.
For example: cheese wedges to help derive the circle area formula, eggs/egg cartons for number talks, spaghetti for triangle inequality, and food containers for multiplication strategies.
