Missed opportunity for Amazon not having their two prime days on July 2 and July 3 since 2 and 3 are the only two consecutive numbers that are prime.

@ChiSpecialEd It may be partly because ES is predominantly women. But don’t discount the amount of time spent grading for HS classes, especially upper level IB. Unit tests that take 2 hr per class and internal assessments that take 20 minutes apiece (times 50). Not enough paid time to grade.

@CTUSpecialEd That's not exactly true. The missed prep used for teaching is suppose to be made up before or after school. It is reflected in the teacher's work schedule on Kronos. And what are these proctoring days? Worked in HS for 20 years and never heard of proctoring pay...

@PavichevichAnna This is so insulting to female meteorologists, which I am certain this woman is not. 🤦🏽‍♀️

@TICalculators I love the stats features. Normalcdf and inverse normal. Not to mention the polysmlt2 app! Size small or medium; either will do.

"We surveyed 100 math teachers. Top 6 answers on the board. What's the first thing someone says when you tell them you're a math teacher?"

What would you say?

Taking advantage of the beautiful day to work on our IB math explorations. @Amundsen_HS #writinginmathematics #mathapplications

It's Mental Math Monday. How would you mentally calculate 2×3×5×7?

Mine is “Put your phone and headphones in your back and leave them there forever or for the duration of class.” And yet… #likeabrokenrecord

Fellow educators, in honor of the 100th day of school tomorrow what is something you’ve had to say at least 100 times this year?

[The Prappas Math @ThePrappasMath]

@Foley_Karen Thanks for posting pictures! We are enjoying seeing them all. It will be an exciting first day!

Got a 2.4 GPA my first semester in college. Thought maybe I wasn’t cut out for engineering. Today I’ve landed two spacecraft on Mars, and am now designing one for the Moon.

STEM is hard for everyone. Grades ultimately aren’t what matter. Curiosity and perseverance matter.

"There's a mindset that, 'If they don't turn it in on time, I don't accept it. That's setting them up to fail in college.' Our approach has been, 'OK, but they're not in college yet. Right now they're freshmen. We have to build that scaffolding to support them.'" @phillipcantor

Here’s someone that said when am I ever going to need math

[The Prappas Math @ThePrappasMath]

What timing! Just completed exponential growth. This is why understanding math is so important. #realworldapplications https://t.co/DH456MkKCZ

For people whose math education failed then... #wow

A good thought...and then we are going to review “borrowing”...
