As a Ukrainian immigrant, it's been horrific to see footage of this war and hear stories from friends and family about their attempts to escape and survive. Some friends and I started a non-profit that directly sends aid to Ukraine.

@mpershan Omg so accurate! To be fair, I'm not done either. But the slog...

[Anna Blinstein 🇺🇦 @ablinstein]

@averypickford 😢 sad to see you go. But I get it.

Elementary Trig has such a beautiful, visual nature.

Need to make math class a place to slow down and appreciate it.

@stoodle My fave books for this:

- Teaching Mathematics Meaningfully
- Can I Tell You About Dyscalculia
- Executive Functions for Every Classroom
- Routines for Reasoning
- The Trouble with Maths
- 11 Effective Strategies for Teaching Math to Students Who Have Given Up on Learning

@stoodle Are you looking for books on the topic or something else?

#wodb has a new home!

Thanks to @MaryBourassa for curating for many years, @Trianglemancsd for taking it into the future.

Teaching directed number soon? "Proof by Patterns" is a nice way to see why a − (−b) = a + b.

Start from the top row and encourage pupils to see what patterns they spot.

Looking to get your kids explaining their reasoning in math class? Have them defend their choice to this @openmiddle problem about area and perimeter of squares.

@MNmMath @samjshah2 Awww look at all those cute faces! Miss you guys.

[Anna Blinstein 🇺🇦 @ablinstein]

@calarmstrong @ilana_horn 👍 good to know

[Anna Blinstein 🇺🇦 @ablinstein]

@MathMinds Bummed to have missed your session (mine was concurrent). Would you be willing to share out your slides? Thanks for considering 🙏

[Anna Blinstein 🇺🇦 @ablinstein]

If you're coming to my session this morning, here's a link to my slides https://t.co/DYQswh3gPI

#NCSMCHI24

Hope to see some of you at 8 am 🥳

[Anna Blinstein 🇺🇦 @ablinstein]

If you're coming to NCSM this week, I'm presenting Wednesday at 8 am on structures that support deeper student-led mathematical conversations, with shout-outs to @AmyLucenta and @GraceKelemanik (Routines for Reasoning), @cluzniak (Debate Math), and @kassiaowedekind (Hands Down)!

[Anna Blinstein 🇺🇦 @ablinstein]

@MrCorleyMath @Desmos @NatBanting @parkermathed Love that! So simple, but seems like it adds a really complementary tool to the Menu Math activity.

[Shelby is on bsky 💗💜💙 @Sneffleupagus]

Things got busy out of nowhere so I didn't make a cute graphic, but join me Friday morning as we Demystify Elementary Math for Secondary Teachers!

Friday 9/27 @ 9:30, 503b McCormick Place

[Anna Blinstein 🇺🇦 @ablinstein]

@cluzniak @AmyLucenta @GraceKelemanik @kassiaowedekind I'll be recommending your book and site heavily so it's like you're here 😉 but yes, it would be even better with you here!

Drilling deeper into the difference between content knowledge and pedagogical content knowledge, which differentiates between what teachers know and what those who only study the subject know.

[Anna Blinstein 🇺🇦 @ablinstein]

Great intro to building pedagogical content knowledge from @jennalaib by having us engage with a problem and examining teacher moves that support students' mathematical thinking in that problem #NCSMchi24
