@CrystalRoskop the next level of teaching after being google certified! 😜

Thank you so much to @SueTranchina for featuring my instructional videos on her @NJTVNews lesson! I’ve really loved creating YouTube and TikTok videos to teach my students! 💜 #EdTechOB @OBSupCittadino

After schools started closing, 97% of inbound emails to [email protected] were teachers asking us to help them send async feedback to students.

Huge 🙌's to colleagues Corey Hunt, @jenny_wales, @eluberoff for getting this new feature to its debut. https://t.co/zCtJT09cza

This is me! I research & analyze what’s best for Ss to access the concept throughout the year! #perfectionist However, I vow to not be perfect & plan to provide work that is doable In < 30 min. #lessismore @CMSCardinals #theresnocryinginmath

Many of us #teachers are perfectionists, and this is one case where we shouldn’t be. #edchat

Here's why. 👇 https://t.co/nLu9FBk9lq

This is what it’s about! There has to be a balance from worksheets and websites! @ClintonMoCards #sendinglove

@gerrybrooksprin My students have two challenges for the week. Build the best reading fort (send me a picture) and communicate (call, write, draw) with someone they love. Something fun and creative and an act of kindness that will make someone 😀. We need to less their anxiety, not add to it.

At the start of the unit 7th graders given a decision of items to buy... which is better deal? $20 off or 20% off? Card sort made formative assessment process easy! Good discussion! #3acttasks @CMSCardinals #iteachmath

[Mrs. Combs CMS @MrsCombsClass]

6th graders used patterns to guess the secret number Ray! Factors and Multiples, Oh My! Over the past few weeks we played factor game and product game! #illuminations #nctm #iteachmath

[Mrs. Combs CMS @MrsCombsClass]

Got behind in posts! Last week 6th Ss passed the envelope and checked their understanding with Least Common Multiples. When will the Ferris Wheels meet at the bottom again? #iteachmath #CMP @CMSCardinals

Best morning to watch some football! Way to go Cardinals! Undefeated Champions! #my6thgraders #cardinalpride

7th graders compared theoretical and experimental probability using tree diagrams to determine sample space! Rock, Paper, Scissors, Shoot! Flipping R/Y Chips! @CMSCardinals #MP4

[Mrs. Combs CMS @MrsCombsClass]

7th grade completed a scavenger hunt to practice theoretical and experimental probability and make predictions! This Formative Assessment process allows me to check for misunderstandings before the quiz! @CMSCardinals #numbersense

[Mrs. Combs CMS @MrsCombsClass]

6th grade intro to integers! We played integer war to practice comparing negatives and positives! Highest Value wins! Why is -3 > -8? 🤔 @CMSCardinals #Critiquereasoningofothers #MP3

[Mrs. Combs CMS @MrsCombsClass]

7th graders use equivalent ratios to make predictions using theoretical or experimental probability! Scavenger Hunt and Quiz tomorrow!

[Mrs. Combs CMS @MrsCombsClass]

6th grade working on equivalent fractions and decimals! 1) Place Value and simplifying fractions. Common misunderstandings 45/90 ➡️0.45 (does not equal 45/100) 2) Compare 1/4 and 0.3! @CMSCardinals

[Mrs. Combs CMS @MrsCombsClass]

Last week 7th graders played Roller Derby and predicted the sum of 2 dice. Do you think some sums are more likely than others? 18 cubes 18 rolls ... students got better with their predictions @CMSCardinals #theoreticalprobablility #experimentalprobability

[Mrs. Combs CMS @MrsCombsClass]

These problems were difficult for 6th grade last week! What makes them tricky? Ex 1: 2/8 is not one of the choices! Ex 2: number line is from 4-6 so it appears it’s tenths. The answer was in decimal form. #nextsteps #equalvalues @CMSCardinals

[Mrs. Combs CMS @MrsCombsClass]

Making big progress! Ordering Rational numbers from least to greatest in ALL representations! Looking for equivalencies! #fluency @CMSCardinals

[Mrs. Combs CMS @MrsCombsClass]

Quick Images in 7th grade math! Estimating %! #formativeassessment #benchmarks #quickimages #highyieldroutines #NCTM @CMSCardinals

[Mrs. Combs CMS @MrsCombsClass]

6th graders practiced and checked for understanding by completing a Mad Lib! Some were harder than others! Quiz tomorrow @CMSCardinals #feedback #simplify #numberlines #equalvalues

[Mrs. Combs CMS @MrsCombsClass]

7th graders must be able to...represent probability on a number line between 0 and 1! Quiz tomorrow! Find Someone Who Can... @CMSCardinals #engageny #errorsunlikely #equalvalues
