Middle school math teacher! #mtbos #Alaska #Teacher

Taught active listening and respectful student discourse this quarter with something students know! Battle of the candy took place every Monday and Friday for the first 5-10 minutes of class. The ruling is in; @Jolly_Rancher are their supreme candy of choice!

Hi everyone! I just moved to Alaska and could not bring my flexible seating with me! I would appreciate any support you can give to recreate my ideal learning environment (whether you donate, retweet, or like) TIA! #DonorsChoose https://t.co/uxDFriAtPj

@HelpingTeach Just moved to Alaska and had to leave my flexible seating behind! Starting fresh and could really use support in recreating my ideal learning environment! https://t.co/uxDFriAtPj

Thanks everyone!

#mtbos favorite end of the year activities? Finishing content a week early and need some activities for next week! I teach 7th grade math!

[KimmieB @Kim_Bringelson]

Surprised @Starbucks doesn’t do anything for teacher appreciation week considering teachers survive with their coffee 😂

[KimmieB @Kim_Bringelson]

Just looking for a nice opportunity to get students talking about math and look who I ran into!

[KimmieB @Kim_Bringelson]

AGAIN

[KimmieB @Kim_Bringelson]

Love when students use their growth mindset to reflect on their tests 😍

[KimmieB @Kim_Bringelson]

Do you think you should fill your remaining time in class with more content if you get through your intended stuff early? I feel as if students can be rewarded with a fun game if we get through everything we need to. Why do I feel like I’m breaking a sacred rule when doing this?

[KimmieB @Kim_Bringelson]

Did this activity for the second time. It was still a huge SUCCESS 😍

[KimmieB @Kim_Bringelson]

Also learned today that almost all students will be invested in an activity involving skittles.

[KimmieB @Kim_Bringelson]

@Mr_Myerscough There is SUCH a big difference in what the 2nd level (almost meeting standard) student work can look like. I think it’s helpful to show them are they barely on their way to meeting the standard or super close to meeting standard.

[KimmieB @Kim_Bringelson]

Standard based grading on a 8 point scale>standard based grading on a 4 point scale

[KimmieB @Kim_Bringelson]

@Mr_Myerscough It still has 4 levels (not meeting 1-2, almost meeting 3-4, meeting 5-6, above standard 7-8) but increasing the scale makes it easier to place a student on the 4 levels.

@delta_dc I’ve reached stage 7 😂

[KimmieB @Kim_Bringelson]

@Jstevens009 Have we tried asking the students what they would like for a Monday warmup? Give them choice or their only choice is whether or not to participate. Nothing wrong with a fun warmup to start the week off right!

[KimmieB @Kim_Bringelson]

Clarification: why do we teach adding integers with a horizontal number line

[KimmieB @Kim_Bringelson]

Late night thought... why do we teach with horizontal number lines instead of vertical? 🤔
