Do I need to tell her that she messed up, even though she fixed her problem? TIA.

[Matt Jones @MattEHS_math]

B/c she went with this method (the only thing she could think of, given the circumstances), is her work ungradeable? She kept her cool, recognized and solved the problem (hello, Calculus). Haven't had the heart to tell her yet of the problem b/c she still has 3 more tests.

School can be as much psychological - convincing Ss they "WILL be able to do" even when they THINK they can't - as it is academic.

#apcalculus: Ss: "Is this the same stuff we WERE struggling with?"

Me: "Yes, it is."

Ss: "We are rocking this now."

Teenagers. AP Calculus Saturday study session. Donut King donuts. And, enough caffeine to put down an elephant. Party on, Wayne! @AplusCR @ecsk12_ehs @EufaulaCS

Luck: when you roll some dice and hope for the right combination.

Awesome comeback: when preparation meets opportunity.

Just to clarify. 😏 #wareagle #WarEagleForever @AuburnFootball @AuburnTigers #auburn @AuburnU @aucheerleading

Your students are better than they think, awesome, and loved.

Tell them that.

Everyday.

[Matt Jones @MattEHS_math]

I run for:
1) My God, because I have the ability
2) My family, to show them I want to stick around for years to come
3) My kids (my blood-born AND my students), to show them there is power in their dreams and nothing can hold them back.

Half the class had to leave for a meeting, but the rest kept chugging along with interval notation. Overheard a student..."The 5 has a bracket, but the infinity is ALWAYS a parenthesis!" Love the math talk! #talkmathtome #kaizen @AplusCR @ecsk12_ehs @EufaulaCS

Lots of things can make a guy train for his 1st marathon.

His continued motivation? His 4 year old son (innocently) saying, "Dad, I don't think you're going to make it."

Doing this for him and my daughter is my motivation for the next 5 months. @runDisney #IWillFinish

Those who care
Those who inspire
Those who see the potential in others
Those who live for the success of others

Exciting #APCSP news: Since its launch three years ago, AP Computer Science Principles participation has doubled, as has the number of female and underrepresented students taking the course. https://t.co/vju3zkDnBv

@jgrayatua @UofAlabama @KimHarrisAPCal1 It's been 20+ years since this @AuburnU grad was last there. It truly is a beautiful place and students/faculty/fans of both universities should be proud of their campuses. The Quad was especially peaceful during my morning runs.

[Matt Jones @MattEHS_math]

#wareagle from @UofAlabama! Stretching the brain with #calculus from @AplusCR and @cowqlusnerd, but that doesn't excuse me from marathon training for January! First time at the Quad! @runDisney @KimHarrisAPCal1 #ScholarlyBarbarian

@lee_calton @KimHarrisAPCal1 Do you really think you're getting rid of us THAT easily??? 😂😂😂 #mathpeeps4life

[Matt Jones @MattEHS_math]

When you check into your hotel in a "foreign land" and the desk clerk says that you have a package waiting: 🤔😁🤩 Snacks, sticky notes, math things, and rivalry humor...@KimHarrisAPCal1 was just looking after me as I start my week of #calculus!

[Matt Jones @MattEHS_math]

@c_hinton01 @KimHarrisAPCal1 @sdoranEHS Thoughts? 😂😂😂

Principals, it’s ok to include a couple of more jeans days next year! Make them spirit days if it makes you feel better. The world won’t end, the students won’t riot, and parents aren’t going to think any less of the teachers. But your teachers will appreciate it and you!

[Matt Jones @MattEHS_math]

When it's the 1st day of #calculus and you've been looking forward to this the whole summer... @APforStudents @AplusCR @cowqlusnerd @ecsk12_ehs @EufaulaCS

Fear tells you there are no options. It convinces you to give in when you know you can finish. It tells you about your failure before you've even tried. As I train, teach, and learn this next year, I refuse to listen to fear. #FearIsALiar #Kaizen

Yes! Yes! Yes! @ecsk12_ehs @EufaulaCS #BeTheOne #AllItTakesIsOne #NewYearNewSuccesses
