Great to be back in classroom yesterday esp. loved the work from this kid. Initially, she was slow to get started but 15 mins later, she was confidently sharing her idea around using different colours to show each person's share and this spread like a bush fire around the room
Using strip diagrams to find the missing side is 🔥! It really helps the kids understand the steps to finding the missing side. Unfortunately, I forgot to snap a pic of finding the missing side with different side lengths.
Want to change education overnight?
Get rid of standardized tests.
Get rid of standardized teacher evaluations.
Because nothing about students or teachers is standard.
Machines are standardized.
Assembly lines are standardized.
Education isn’t.
But we keep treating people like parts in a system.
And that’s how you keep getting mediocrity
Using @Lead4ward’s #RockinReview to explore relationship tables had students thinking, collaborating, and making connections. The best part? Our gallery walk where students shared ideas and learned from each other! @MrsHudson_GE@HumbleISD_GE@HumbleElemMath

Cool and simple proof: Are there two irrationals a & b such that a^b is rational? Consider √2^√2. If it's rational, we're done. If it's irrational then √2^√2^√2=√2^2=2 is rational, we're done. This is a non-constructive existence proof!
Serving up math with @lead4ward Cafe Conversations☕️✨ Students aren’t just solving math problems, they’re sharing strategies, discussing other groups’ work, and learning from each other. Math talk = deeper thinking! @MrsHudson_GE@HumbleISD_GE
