My awesome @foleyhighschool Algebra 1 & 2 students designed rollercoasters and art (even animated!) on @Desmos to show their understanding of transformations. I can't attach them all, but I was beyond impressed!

First days are the best 🙂 I'm excited to returning teaching #math and #computerscience for my third year @foleyhighschool !

Absenteeism is a major issue in schools, placing a heavy burden on students & parents to make up work.

The greater burden falls on teachers though, who must create a system to ensure students can stay caught up. With absences increasing, this adds even more tasks to already full teacher plates.

@ChristineSwy @joypcoffee One day I'll make it into the trash can 🥺

@Yearsofexper @MmeLockhartLDSB Because this explicit instruction is a lazy approach to teaching. And it takes the curiosity out of learning.

98% of people can't solve this!

@Martin59935415 @ModestTeacher I find that adolescence is the biggest conductor of curiosity! Kids are always curious

[Angel Bermudez @MrsMathBermudez]

@ModestTeacher I think many students find the educational system irrelevant and obsolete. I can engage my students all day with relevant, authentic learning, and some still have no cares about passing the class or grades in general.

They desperately want us to believe that autism and ADHD are now being 'overdiagnosed'. The alternative is to admit that for generations, neurodivergent people have been systematically ignored and failed.

[Angel Bermudez @MrsMathBermudez]

@sage_stage Fair amount of protected planning time.

[Angel Bermudez @MrsMathBermudez]

@MrZachG I can't see this being authentically successful in high school math classes. What about students who need extended processing time? Or the million interruptions we have daily? Most importantly, I care about students becoming critical thinkers, not speedy robots.

[Angel Bermudez @MrsMathBermudez]

@CampbellFMR02 @MrKWisconsin It sounds like you're describing robots 😂 I don't need students to be calculators, but independent problem solvers

[Angel Bermudez @MrsMathBermudez]

@jillevans55 @MrKWisconsin Oof. There is plenty of research about the negative effects of timing for math facts, especially among female students.

[Angel Bermudez @MrsMathBermudez]

@WhiteMenCantFnk @DataJunkie @MrKWisconsin I've worked with plenty of older people who still couldn't run a register either. Math fluency is important, but automatically and speed and just not that important.

Schools are rapidly adopting behavior policies that fail immediately and dramatically, leading to further panicked lurching.

Why?

A lack of basic philosophy about how school and school discipline work.

The statement “We always should be teaching students the most efficient way to solve a problem first.” is simply incorrect. #iTeachMath

[Angel Bermudez @MrsMathBermudez]

@JamesAFurey Well I get paid to teach. So however I dress is the outfit of a professional.
