@iteach_kidsmath Such a great idea. Thanks!

What is a great kick-off/review lesson for order of operations for 8th graders? ##MTBoS #iteachmath

Anyone have any good resources for number talks with middle school students? #MTBoS #iteachmath

[Emily Kuefler @KueflerEmily]

@druinok I love this! i just may do this on the first day....thank you!

I have been trying to find more inquiry lessons for my middle schoolers - this is a great resource for discovering circumference; rather than just giving them the formula! https://t.co/fd7MrULOY0 Show me some of your great inquiry resources for 7th/8th grade #MTBoS #iteachmath

@betchaboy @misskyritsis Hi! I am a teacher from the United States going for my masters degree in Learning Design and Technology. The current course I am taking has us researching other countries' schools. Would love to get some information on your education system!!

@JoeKoelsch @iteachmathAll I agree that sometimes hmk is not a true understanding of success rather a way of showing what you do and don't understand. Now it is getting students to understand the importance of how hmk helps students!

[Emily Kuefler @KueflerEmily]

Grading is my life sometimes with teaching 5 classes (only 2 preps) but it is always so overwhelming!! Anyone else with me?? How do you grade homework? All problems? Select problems? Packet? #iteachmath #MTBoS

[Emily Kuefler @KueflerEmily]

@San_Tacos @tkanold Not only a SANE way but a more effective way of learning for the students!

[Emily Kuefler @KueflerEmily]

@San_Tacos @tkanold This is great too! Mini formative assessments! I like this idea, helps to keep kids on their toes and actually understanding the content.

[Emily Kuefler @KueflerEmily]

@San_Tacos @tkanold And my current principal used to be a math teacher and really wants to push for understanding BUT yet expects hmk to be here and graded

[Emily Kuefler @KueflerEmily]

@MathIsNotScary @iteachmathAll I LOVE this! What a great way for Ss to really connect with what they are learning!

[Emily Kuefler @KueflerEmily]

I teach 7th/8th grade math.....anyone here use Google Classroom? How do you use it for your classroom? Successes? Challenges/struggles? #iteachmath #MTBoS #GoogleClassroom

[Emily Kuefler @KueflerEmily]

@mac_mccaffray @iteachmathAll This is a great idea! How do you handle those Ss who consistently don't have their hmk done just copying answers? What do you put in your gradebook? There is a lot of pressure at my school to have grades in...

[Emily Kuefler @KueflerEmily]

@San_Tacos @tkanold There is no set amount but they are always looking for "updated grades". It really has become a Ss and Ps and coach problem....it's Alla out the sports. If a student isn't passing we must need more grades in 😩 ummm NO! Why is society like this? So heavy on the grades??

[Emily Kuefler @KueflerEmily]

@San_Tacos I only had homework at 20%. We are always harped on to have grades in the grade book, but I stuggle with this. Not sure my principal would be fond of giving the answers, but I LOVE the idea. @tkanold gave a great presentation on this too. Thanks!
