I tweet to become a better teacher. Sat on my math degree for 20 years. Now in my 6th year of teaching middle school math - 8th & 9th this year.

@Fouss I tell them no fair! When do u use Shakespeare, photosynthesis or the Treaty of Versailles?

[Lori Kalt @MrsLKalt]

@lisabej_manitou @amazon thank you so much! So r they indestructible?

[Lori Kalt @MrsLKalt]

Where can I order good sturdy compasses for geometric constructions? Ones that will survive 9th graders!

[Lori Kalt @MrsLKalt]

Love having this discussion with my 8th graders every year.

[Lori Kalt @MrsLKalt]

@mathequalslove @g_brgmn totally going to do this! Thanks for sharing!

@mrschwen @mathequalslove I am ALWAYS wishing negative numbers were used in Elem Ed! Why not let them???

[Lori Kalt @MrsLKalt]

@zsiga_andy what is quiz quiz trade and what is gallery walk??

[Lori Kalt @MrsLKalt]

9th grade geometric constructions coming up. Ideas on how 2 get Ss to understand and remember them?

[Lori Kalt @MrsLKalt]

@MrKitMath I would ask: 'why time tests?' I don't see the purpose of timing tests in junior high anyway. I teach JH.

[Lori Kalt @MrsLKalt]

90 degrees in my classroom today and a high of 39 students in my 1st period class. Ridiculous.

[Lori Kalt @MrsLKalt]

@tabitha_pacheco I completely agree! The way to attract quality teachers is pay more. A lot more.

[Lori Kalt @MrsLKalt]

@KentHaines will do!

[Lori Kalt @MrsLKalt]

@KentHaines I teach 8 and 9. I love the things you r doing with your class. I may copy you. 😀

[Lori Kalt @MrsLKalt]

@KentHaines what grade do you teach?

[Lori Kalt @MrsLKalt]

@Mcoaty @KentHaines great idea!

[Lori Kalt @MrsLKalt]

@KentHaines I'm going to do a 'popularity contest' board. Why is this mistake so popular? Popular is not always right.

[Lori Kalt @MrsLKalt]

@cmmteach @MatthewACherry @DankwaBrooks That's awesome. I'm making a poster of that.

[Lori Kalt @MrsLKalt]

GradeCam or MasteryConnect? Plz give me your teacher perspective as to which to use!

[Lori Kalt @MrsLKalt]

@jamiedunc3 I only remember asking my HS teacher 'what IS a function?' I needed a visual. Never got one.

@JJohnsonNow I'm an 8th grade math teacher. I love the common core! Strong standards. Well-written.
