@teedjvt @marriamath @Stepher_13 Loved working with you this week!!

[Trish Kepler @KeplerTrish]

I just backed Numeroso: A Deck of Cards with Infinite Potential on @Kickstarter https://t.co/38qrkvmOHO

@MikeFlynn55 @Redhdteacher Could she be any cuter?!

[Trish Kepler @KeplerTrish]

@jennalaib @MrsMathKaija I would love to hear more about how this system of organizing has evolved! I have an office full of dollar store treasures that desperately need to be organized...

[Trish Kepler @KeplerTrish]

@kassiaowedekind Is there anything dark and twisty about that or does the mathy-ness override all of that? I think the latter, for sure!

[Trish Kepler @KeplerTrish]

When you want to start the year with some #countingcollections but kiddos can’t share, you hit the dollar store hard! Just had a G2 S come by and say she wants to go back to G1 so she can count these!

[Trish Kepler @KeplerTrish]

@kassiaowedekind Only 12 countable items per $1.00 felt like a splurge but worth every penny in my opinion! I also see great potential for an array chat if I can stop them from rolling.

[Trish Kepler @KeplerTrish]

@jennalaib Me, too! 😂

[Trish Kepler @KeplerTrish]

@KelGreening @stace208 @MrsShovely Field trip!!

[Trish Kepler @KeplerTrish]

@adinam225 Yes! We're going to do some staging and photo shooting to capture some #numbertalk images before we start re-packaging. Lots of potential with the packs that have quantities - 40, 32... Some good talks with the items that were $1.25 and $1.50 per pack too! Will share!

[Trish Kepler @KeplerTrish]

@lynseymathed I can't wait to see what the kiddos' hands look like after counting those! It will be like they've been kissed by magical math fairy dust!

I am not a master at online teaching but would like to share a thread of what I'm doing/what students told me they appreciate. I'm doing this in hopes that at least one of these tips helps someone out there and would invite others to share what's working in their class.

[Trish Kepler @KeplerTrish]

@talita624 I usually use it so that students can write on it, as well. So I share the file link in the chat box so that all can engage. Then I don’t really even need to share my screen.

[Trish Kepler @KeplerTrish]

@talita624 Let me know what amazing things you do with it! I've primarily used it as a digital whiteboard, but I also recently used it to collect reflections from a group (1 slide per participant) and as a space to show thinking for a 3-act in breakout groups.

[Trish Kepler @KeplerTrish]

@talita624 I’ll bet you’re seeing the pricing for the fancy display. The app I’ve been using is part of my suite of Google apps. It’s the drafting space for the display board.

[Trish Kepler @KeplerTrish]

Now, this is a fruit snack that I could actually embrace! I'm all in. You would even be my kids' new best friend because I might suddenly be convinced that fruit snacks could be eaten at any time, not just for dessert!

[Christopher Danielson @Trianglemancsd]

Hey @GeneralMills! Can we collaborate on some SHAPES fruit snacks? Perhaps Pattern Block?

My colleagues at @Public_Math and I are ready to brainstorm! Call us maybe? Following in case you wanna DM!

[Trish Kepler @KeplerTrish]

Critical reading as we look ahead to an uncertain fall that will likely challenge us to refine our remote learning practices so that we may better engage all students and keep rich discourse alive and well.

[Stenhouse Publishers @stenhousepub]

Conversations with students over video have been challenging, but you may have found it wasn't all bad. @TeacherThomp can relate and she shared her reflections in this recent blog, along with examples on how she and her colleagues made the most of it.
