Grateful for all the women in my life who have shaped who I am today.

By the way you do difficult things; with fear, but with your ambitions calling stronger...
I have known greatness.
She is you.

Happy International Women's Day!

BREAKING NEWS: the pride flag 🏳️‍🌈 that is flown 365 days/year at my school has never turned anyone gay or spawned the devil!!! Ours must be broken ? The only thing it’s done is make students, families and staff feel seen & shows we don’t put up with homophobia / transphobia #OntEd

[Sadaf (she/her) @SadafAgha8]

Here at the OAME I'm learning too many math teachers had a negative experience involving long division in elementary school!!! Myself included!

[Sadaf (she/her) @SadafAgha8]

- if you value one way to represent a curriculum expectation over another then you're devaluing other ways of knowing

- conversations and observation with students are just as valuable pieces of evidence as products that Ss create

Day 1 of volunteering at the OAME! Thankful for the opportunity! Got to learn from Marian Small, Dan Finkel, Jamie Mitchell, Adriana Silvestre, and Gerry Lewis to name a few! Made a bunch of new friends and met cool people. #oame23 #empoweringme #buildingthinkingclassrooms #crrp

Listening to @MathforLove at #OAME2023

“What do kids learn in math class? Facts and algorithms.”
“What should kids learn? Curiosity, kindness, compassion”

Love that vision.

[Sadaf (she/her) @SadafAgha8]

@sayitinmath @GeorgeHarveyCI I like this because it facilitates a positive interaction between students sharing a work in progress!

[Sadaf (she/her) @SadafAgha8]

Starting in a new (-to me!) classroom means spending a lot of time thinking about and curating the space! Here are some pics of my classroom! What do you see? What would you add? #tdsb #mathclass #possibilities @GeorgeHarveyCI [1/]

[Sadaf (she/her) @SadafAgha8]

It's caregiver-teacher interviews and they really just gave me some homework and said I should model a healthier worklife balance. (Re: emails and time I commit afterschool to supporting Ss, always mrkng) alright mama, I heard you, going to be a better role model for your kid! 📝

Have a restful March break to all my colleagues, students and families! #marchbreak #tdsb #iteachmath #SuperMar10

@BusinessTDSB Microsoft Office 365 is listed as being available for teaching staff to install but when you follow the steps it says the license expired dec 31 2022. Will this license be renewed for 2023?

Hey #MTH1W teachers 👋🏻

Here's a (growing) collection of Desmos activities, sorted by overall expectation, that you could use with your students while teaching online:

My favourite way to respond to a student saying thanks to me after I help them think through something:

"You're worth it. "

And they don't know how to act after that, it's so cute! They leave feeling valued and will be that much more confident the next time they ask a question.
