@jal_mehta I’ll be homeschooling grades pre-school, K, and 2. I am looking forward to deeply getting to know my children as learners!

@jennalaib Funny! The same thing happened at my house today with my 2 and 5 year olds while I was on a 15-minute call. 😳

Our schools have been disrupted in ways we have never seen. NCSM and NCTM have published a joint document to provide guidance for mathematics teachers and leaders at all levels to make informed decisions for next steps due to COVID-19. https://t.co/inBca37CVV

@MrsNewell22 @margotshetterly I would love a copy to read to my three girls. Starting the conversation at home!

We are big #TinyPolkaDot fans at my house!

Work with kids & families who need more tools for numeracy, and can't afford them? I've just put together a printer-friendly #TinyPolkaDot starter deck you can print and give away. Get it for free, plus links to instructions in Spanish, French, Mandarin https://t.co/wOtvgcFh1d

@jal_mehta I’m noticing the same thing happening with my girls!

[Christine Fichera @cjfichera]

@MrsNewell22 We’re growing carrots over here! My pre-schoolers were thrilled to see roots today. The little things!

Math teachers: If you or your colleagues want to help caregivers understand how we teach math and how they can support this work at home, I made a video that might help. Feel free to share and visit our website for additional resources. #MTBoS #iteachmath https://t.co/PIbgkKfKA9

Overheard my 3-year-old talking to her dolls: "Shhh. I have a special call. Everyone be quiet!" Learning to #WorkFromHome with kids. @zoom_us #zoomcallsallday #Quarantine

@LooneyMath @MisterMinor @jamestanton @mathyawp @Mathgarden @robertkaplinsky @dcrescitelli @cbrownLmath @NaturalMath @MetamorphTLC @MrSmall215 Thank you for compiling this list! Let’s all work to make schools places of true learning, not compliance.

Choice time in Kindergarten and a group of students was incredibly focused on building this elaborate block structure. “We are great at building!” I overheard one say. #HWElemMath #MathPlay

How much is 10,000? Fourth graders explore how many 10s are in 10,000 by creating a 10,000 chart to model the problem. There are so many patterns to notice on the chart! @Inv3_Math @BukerSchool

We have the best teachers! @hw_schools

#aMAzingeducators post for Jessica Bernardo of Buker Elementary in #Wenham : "Mrs. Bernardo always makes it a point to put her students and their academics first... She's paving a future for society." #maedu @HW_Schools

[Christine Fichera @cjfichera]

What do you believe about how kids learn most powerfully and deeply? How can we move from a culture of teaching to a culture of learning? Just two of the many questions explored with @willrich45 at today’s staff development day! @hw_schools

@mathematize4all @jody_guarino @Melissa_Canham @TracyZager We started our selection process by having the team read and discuss NCTM’s Principles to Actions book. It really helped us identify what was important when looking at programs.
