@DPChem_Provost @Desmos @desmosclassroom @Amplify I would love that!

The Desmos Fellowship PD experience is truly like no other! Thank you to @Desmos @desmosclassroom and @Amplify for continuing this amazing program. So thankful to work with/learn from so many amazing people! 💚💙

@a_schindy @eluberoff @Desmos My daughters and I said the same thing on the way home 😂. Shapes, angles, translations. So much math in that show!

@ddmeyer I have tried to stop telling students how to do problems and have done more asking/listening instead. I enjoy teaching this way which makes my life easier.

@NatBanting Nat, this is wonderful. Thank you for sharing! Realizing I did this today in my lesson on multiplying matrices. Multiply a 1x2 by a 2x2, then 1x2 by a 2x3. No wait, a 2x2 by a 2x3. Lots of connections being made as they went!

@saravdwerf @confm I recently read a blog post from @MathMedic related to this idea: https://t.co/qGTTFKFcYn

Practicing my sequence of questions in a #thinkingclassroom. Amazed at how many problems accomplished at VNPS's! Rational exp task today(last one from open middle). https://t.co/WV0xRhUNOU

@LongFormMath My dad made me one filled with sand. It doesn’t have the wheel but I just tip it over.

Trying to shift student mindsets from "when I see this I DO this" (memorizing) to "when I see this I KNOW this" (understanding) can be tough when some have survived by memorizing for so long.

@dwekselgreene @Desmos Thank you for this! We just did this in class today-very timely! I did have an issue with the initial text on slide 5. The last x was missing in this line: displayInitialB = when initialB > 0 "+${initialB}x" otherwise "-${absInitialB}x"

@a_schindy Let me know if you need to borrow mine for this grand adventure 😀

[Abbey Turchyn💛🇺🇦💙 @Mathkies]

@MsBeckerMaths @Desmos @mrchowmath helped me with this last year. I used this yesterday with students instead of a WS and really liked it: https://t.co/mH9DllTTD0

My daughter had to have this box of cereal and now I have an intro to probability for tomorrow #statschat #iteachmath

[Abbey Turchyn💛🇺🇦💙 @Mathkies]

@seewins @Desmos @parkermathed That’s exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!!

[Abbey Turchyn💛🇺🇦💙 @Mathkies]

I love this @desmos AB by @parkermathed as a way for students to review graphing. Curious if there is anything else like this out there. Standard form? Point-slope? Quadratics? https://t.co/8GRdbnFzoM

I am teaching AP Stats for the first time this year and would love recommendations for people to follow. Thanks in advance!! #mtbos #iteachmath

@MrsSheehanMath Our kids can double up in Alg&Geo or Geo&AA (not blocked together just enrolled in each). We have a class in between AA and Pre-Calc but Ss that do well skip to Pre-Calc. No honors classes.

@denisequarles1 @saravdwerf Thank you, I love this too and had forgotten about it.

[Abbey Turchyn💛🇺🇦💙 @Mathkies]

Reflecting on @ddmeyer's Math without Mistakes:

I had a math professor that once asked us, "If I had a box for all of the correct math I have done and one for all of the wrong math, which would be bigger?"

I share this with my Ss every year.
