@AmandaBuethe In one of my previous schools, we had a big ceremony to recognize Sr awards/scholarships/etc. They had speeches to pass things over to Jr's. At the end, Sr's were dismissed (their last day) and everyone moved seats to their "new" section of the auditorium. That was our moment.
Had a great time tonight cruising and honoring our awesome seniors!! We talk a lot about perseverance and resilience, but our students this year are really putting it into practice! Congrats class of 2020!
To all our students: keep persevering! We love you!

@approx_normal@herbertmath628@IllustrateMath I'm using @IllustrateMath this year also. I am understanding of terms as we built through the progression. They have a concept of transformations that will carry through even higher polynomials. Exp. has a more basic form before approaching quad. Overall, it built smoothly.
I'm excited to see everyone in classes today! Math classes @USD482Dighton start at 8:40 today - check your email for links!
If you are in my class, I sent you an invite yesterday. The link will also pop up in Google Classroom before class begins.
I can't wait to see you all!!
@howie_hua The associative property is obviously superior because the ability to reorganize addends or factors can turn something that looks complicated into something familiar! Often, this reorganization can turn longer problems into mental math!

@vierheller_emma@SummitMathBooks@iteachmathAll This is my concern - figuring out orientation has been one of the biggest hurdles for my class this year. Recognizing that every triangle can't be labeled the same way.
@USD482Dighton with the sweep at the KidWind Regional challenge!
3rd place: FANtastic Four
2nd place: BTU Crew
1st place: Turbinators
Way to go today!!
Congratulations to @TatumVogel and her awesome teams!
@dolence_math @Brewmath I do a little spiral, but I need to do more. The way I have everything set up this year it builds just enough that I don't feel like I have to be as deliberate about spiraling back.
