At @GESatKAUST we have been thinking about the language we use in math. Think about how you teach math or have been taught math. What words do you find challenge you, what might you need to change and what words have expired? #MathPact #Math #PYP #IB

Working with @_mrsrees to build #patternsofpower inspired lessons. Taking a passage and inquiring into how commas can structure sentences to capture a the detail of a moment in our writing. Great authors use commas to construct imagery for the reader.
