@MrsHankinsClass Set realistic expectations on your first year. Otherwise you may feel like you're a failure when you don't accomplish all of your goals. Most of your big time goals will take 3-5 years of hard work, but most new teachers do not expect that to be the case.
Awesome manipulatives assignment that will create conversations that drive learning. Great for early middle school! I can't get enough of desmos activities. #smu622 I posted the link here:

@DabPhysicalEd Would be great for sports like golf, or tennis, where your swing path is hard to see with the naked eye, but is very important to know why you're hitting the ball the way you are.
@Jackiekoenig2 This is great! I think one area I can strive to do more is the personalized learning area. With all the YouTube videos and electronic tools we have, it should be possible to give the students individual choices to learn.
@bernardmason This is great for student conversations as well. I will send them reminder emails a day in advance for the beginning of the day sometimes!
This problem on quadratics in factored form from @mathKimes will get kids thinking about how part of the equation affects the resulting value. See hints and answers on @openmiddle: https://t.co/EUyguC6dv7 #iteachmath
This would be a great resource for any math teacher. Open ended questions tend to flow from activities like these that allow students to discover structures of numbers, rather than simply being told.
Plus, I think everybody is loving #wordle right now. #ldt620
Please share this video with your math teacher friends who love Wordle and are either fans of @openmiddle problems or might like using them with their students.
