Today's date is the last Pythagorean Triple date of our lifetime! (Unless you live through 2105)

Here's a really cool fact about how to generate infinitely many Pythagorean triples

At the beginning of the year, Ss set goals. Each wk, we revisit w/ a smaller one

“My goal for the week is to… One habit I will try this week is… so that…”

We post them on our door so Ss see goals coming & going. On Fri, they reflect! #PBLchat

Knows & Need to Knows are a simple PBL routines.

Ss surface what they already know, name what they need to figure out, & help move the learning forward.

As a teacher, I get a much clearer picture of where S’s are starting.

I tried Lots of Dots & I observed Ss

✨ making sense of math
✨ collaborating & building on ideas
✨ reasoning & explaining
✨ staying focused

I used this to establish what work time looks & sounds like.

Thanks @math__medic !

Pre-order is LIVE! 📖

One of my favorite parts of writing this book was revisiting one of my Algebra 1 projects & seeing it through a different lens.

If you want to be one of the 1st to get a copy, pre-order here:

Tough week? Draw something. ✏️

We spent a few minutes passing drawings around and adding to each other’s work.

The results were ridiculous. The laughter was needed.

Sometimes that’s the team building we need. ❤️

A little surreal to see someone else tell the story of your work.

Grateful to The Educator’s Room for this feature on my work in math education, PBL, STEM, and belonging.

Opening Doors and Building Belonging. That’s the work.

Spent last week w/ @KnowlesTeachers in Atlanta.

Grateful for a community that continues to challenge & inspire me.

Excited to share that I’ve been elected as the Secondary School Representative on the Board of the Council of Presidential Awardees in Mathematics.

Looking forward to serving this community, learning alongside outstanding mathematics educators, & contributing to the work ahead.

[Sarah DiMaria @MsDiMaria]

Had the chance to join the TeacherGuard podcast to talk about teaching, innovation, healthy risks, & leading through uncertainty.

1 takeaway: sustainable change depends as much on when we introduce ideas as what those ideas are.

Spent the week at Indiana University for the Hearing Each Other’s Voices Summer Writing Intensive w/ @DigitalPromise

This work brings researchers & classroom practitioners together on a shared problem of practice.

Grateful for this community & excited for what’s next. #edchat
