@DrKChilds The more concerning issue is the % of the year that is actually teaching new content! When you take out tests days, day before break, day return from break, standardized testing days, incentive days… the list goes on. I’m guessing 75% of the year is utilized effectively.

So thankful for this opportunity to serve with these amazing people! #nctmbalt22

@ClintonHSTennis Have you shared a camp schedule for this summer?

[Emily Combs @ecombsmathjoy]

@ClintonHSTennis Got it

[Emily Combs @ecombsmathjoy]

@ClintonHSTennis @CHSCards Way to go Lady Cards!

@ClintonHSTennis @CHSCards Way to go ladies!

[Emily Combs @ecombsmathjoy]

@ClintonHSTennis Is there a chance today’s camp will be moved indoors to CMS gym?

@fawnpnguyen @drjeffshih I need like x50 hearts on this! One heart isn’t enough! I was starting a key but this just proves we are #InThisTogether ! #mathedrocks

[Emily Combs @ecombsmathjoy]

Am I missing something? @zoom_us surely has filters like @Snapchat so that I don’t have to get up and put make-up on for my Virtual Faculty Meeting Tomorrow AM?!! #InThisTogether #education #keepitprofessional #imisstheirfaces

[Emily Combs @ecombsmathjoy]

Thanks! This is awesome! Stay safe!

K-8 math tasks for week 1 done... https://t.co/Xy5UoPyZDz

1. I'd quit almost every class that was held online & via VHS tapes (look 'em up, youngsters)

2. I taught math by having Ss TALK TO EACH OTHER all the time

3. I want to cry

4. Send toilet paper & I'll share more tasks

[Emily Combs @ecombsmathjoy]

@NKeithBlend Awesome! Thanks! Anything I get together in the coming weeks I will share back.

[Emily Combs @ecombsmathjoy]

@NKeithBlend Do you have a link for what you copied for 6-8? We are in the midst of deciding some get printed and some get digital. Could very well be not the same level of learning! 😳 I was thinking Pizazz sheets for self-checking. Digital would be more innovative!

[Emily Combs @ecombsmathjoy]

So is there a lesson coming for 8th grade level using 2-way tables and comparing #CoronavirusPandemic US v. China or number of deaths by age ranges? #makeitrelevant #educateyourself

[Citizen Math @citizen_math]

Suffice it to say:

Another great day sharing lessons! #startwithacontext Why save word problems for last when they can be a great access point for kids? @CrystalRoskop @MOEducation @ClintonMoCards #interface2020 #cardinalpride

@bkdidact @mathematize4all @LaraMathcalf @Angelaturrou @CarrythZero @lockhartedu I was trained on the Early Numeracy Project by Doug Clarke (Melbourne,Australia) years ago.Teaching different grade levels. Loved it! It’s adaptive and allows you to move to different questions as students get right/wrong answers during interview process.

[Emily Combs @ecombsmathjoy]

@CrystalRoskop We Just discussed this! #mathinstruction #cardinalpride Using effective formative assessment processes = kids and teachers benefit from positive feedback! #NCTM #plusidontwanttogradeeverynight

[Dr. Kristopher J. Childs (he/him) @DrKChilds]

I do not know who needs to hear this, but you DO NOT have to assign math homework aka practice problems EVERY night for students to “get it”.

BTW homework shouldn’t count for a grade either.

[Emily Combs @ecombsmathjoy]

@MrsLehmansClass and @MrsPottersKids be sure to share with other teachers tomorrow in the building! #gochiefs
