Say no to the Ensuring Integrity Bill. Help our unions protect us from this descent into fascism! @Senator_Patrick

Got a very pretty triangle using flip tiles on the locker problem. Tried to use a tessellated pattern to see what the series of squares would look like. Anyone want to extend this? I ran out of space on my phone screen. Thanks @MrJohnRowe #ITeachMath #MTBoS

The PAT portfolio PL hasn't even begun and it's already been positive - a digital copy of all resources for easy sharing with my site. Yay!

Finger calculations made easier #DECDjobo

[Ash Brook @Teacher_Ash]

Interesting to hear diff. ideas on the growth of these shapes. Can we go back further and have learners ask their own questions #DECDjobo

[Ash Brook @Teacher_Ash]

How can students develop growth mindsets if maths lessons are just a series of questions and right/wrong answers? #DECDjobo

[Ash Brook @Teacher_Ash]

Growth mindset in teachers is vital for students. I think the 700 people here at least have the right idea #DECDjobo

[Cathy Williams @chaoskeeper11]

It's only a slight exaggeration to say we destroyed & rebuilt how we run research project during pd. Helps that I'm not a rp teacher :)

(Teachers) "are the most important professionals on the planet"
We know this but it's always nice to be reminded. Thanks @leecrockett!

[Ash Brook @Teacher_Ash]

Excited to be at the solution fluency conference with some colleagues and @leecrockett!

Day 4 of week 1 & i've only managed to tweet twice, haven't blogged once but I have high-fived a lot of happy new year 8s. Doing ok I guess.

[Ash Brook @Teacher_Ash]

First day of year 8 maths, ask the students what they expect from me in the classroom.

One of them said "dad jokes".

I think I can do that

[Ash Brook @Teacher_Ash]

Day 1 of week 0 done! Now to plan 3 sessions for tomorrow while leaving time for personal prep. Good luck to my teaching friends this week!

[Ash Brook @Teacher_Ash]

Starting off @SeaviewHigh #week9project PBL with my im-peck-able drawing skills (and puns) Introducing the new iHen, for today's egg lover.

[Ash Brook @Teacher_Ash]

Final lesson with a year 10 class, talking about gravitational potential, kinetic, electric and chemical potential energy with some drones!

Some good clean maths thinking at the partnership numeracy PLC mega-gathering Tuesday @WirreandaSS (hat tip to @Jstevens009 too!)
