But actually, even with something as seemingly tidy as 2+2=4, there are all kinds of complexities.

Context DOES matter.
#MTH1W began their Black History in Mathematics project today. I first did this last year and it became a highlight of the course. Ss gave a lot of positive feedback about it. I'm excited to see what this year's group produces!
Thanks to @garden_rob, who inspired this.
Finished our Lunar New Year celebration activity today in advisory. It was great to learn about the different activities done to prepare for the new year celebrations. Nothing beats some Lego time - no matter your age! @Ridley_College#RidleyCommunity

Today was the curve sketching assessment in Calculus. One I’ve done before and love.
11 groups of 2.
11 different equations.
Each group gets one.
“Ok, you’ve got 75 minutes to fully and accurately sketch this, including all key points and asymptotes.”

Dear Ontario: it's not just kids at risk. The care you may need for a heart attack, stroke or car accident is now in jeopardy due to overwhelming strain to our entire health care system from uncontrolled viral transmission. Do your part #WearAMask#WeNotMe
Great resource below for creating tiered math practice opportunities and/or exit cards for students. AND I'm LOVING that there are instructions for translating the directions on the worksheets into over 100 languages, giving English Language Learners access into the problems.
I've been a math educator since 2003 and Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics by @pgliljedahl has more potential to improve the way we teach mathematics than any other book I have ever read.
I wrote a blog post to share why we should all read it:

🍎3-5 minute rounds to see how many pts groups can get.
HAVE FUN!
I did not realize how little I understood about quadratics until I created this problem & didn't know how to solve it. It helped me build conceptual understand and I hope it will help your students as well. Hints & answers on @openmiddle: https://t.co/k0YnpAsnYE #iteachmath
Just one to two minutes per student can create a truly incredible foundation for the rest of the year, says educator @saravdwerf.

Some resources to use in #MTH1W for incorporating financial literacy topics across all strands.
Thanks so much to @klcrossl and her team for developing Scratch coding lessons that coincided with my financial literacy ideas.
