Love using @NCTMIllum Algebra Tiles when teaching factoring to my Algebra 1 students. Last year did not use this visual at first, and procedural fluency was low, but reteaching it with this visual led to greatly increased procedural fluency!

Set up an @classcraftgame in my Algebra 1 class yesterday. Wanted to try it out and see what happened: My high school kids had a blast with it! We begin our first Quest today over two factoring methods we have learned about so far. #mpstla #bravesengage

Had a competition in my geometry classes over this particular math problem. The fastest group solved both questions in 15 minutes. Can you beat their time? #mpstla #bravesengage

Used @geogebra today in Geometry class. The kids and I learned about reflections and their properties today, and then did a neat activity in GeoGebra. The instructions were to "make something cooler than my example." This is what they came up with today:
