Day 6: We learned how to use @Desmos and completed a quick self-checking activity for statistical and non-statistical questions!! Class management is so much less stressful when Ss can monitor themselves! #hillcrestMSPats #iteachmath #MTBoS

[Jennifer Collsen, NBCT @MrsCollsenMath]

Day 5: What is a statistical question? Students give examples of statistical and non-statistical questions. Great discussions and justifications! #hillcrestMSpats #iteachmath #MTBoS

Day 2: #BrokenCircles Task 🔵 Students must give away their pieces to all make a complete circle. The trick is that they can’t point and they can’t talk!! All about awareness of those around you! 👏🏼 #hillcrestMSpats #mtbos #iteachmath

Day 1: #100Numbers Task with students discovering “what does group work look like?” #hillcrestMSpats #mtbos #iteachmath

Happy First Day of School!! Year 8!!! ❤️💙 #hillcrestMSpats #iteachmath #mtbos

This is laughable. At this point, we feel significantly undervalued and you are going to need a lot more than 4% to keep us around next year…

[Trisha Powell Crain @Trish_Crain]

.@GovernorKayIvey proposes a 4% pay raise for teachers. That would raise the starting salary to $43,357. The image below is the current teacher’s minimum salary schedule. #aledchat

I'm so mad y'all. Teachers who don't teach math - STOP TRASHING OUR SUBJECT. STOP TRASHING IT IN FRONT OF US. STOP TRASHING IT IN FRONT OF THE KIDS. YOU ARE BEING SO DISRESPECTFUL. STOP IT.
