My alternative to “I do, we do, you do”:

Create the conditions (context, # choice, problem type) for S’s to show you their understanding, question them to solidify or extend, facilitate share out of S’s ideas, and finally I DO (if you really need to tell them, wait til the end)

Introduce students to transformations with this quick warm-up activity. For each one, students need another type of transformation to match up the shapes. In a live class, pacing could be fun with this!

Hey #adultedu lots of great ideas here for teaching students having trouble solving equations (and maybe you have some ideas for the original poster)

[Paige @MrsSheehanMath]

Teacher friends who teach freshmen/middle school math...

I have so much newfound respect for you 😅 I feel like a lot of my freshmen are overwhelmed with trying to solve equations, and it's been hard to figure out how to break it down more 😭 Advice welcome!! #mtbos #iteachmath

Friends- both capitalism and cancer are terrible.
My neighbor Deb is facing tough times. She and family are good neighbors. If you can spare a little to support Deb and her family it would be money well spent. If you can repost this, I appreciate that too. https://t.co/hVIE2sLonS

What would happen if migrants on boats with limited resources were also seen as brave explorers gifted with curiosity and wonder for depths unknown, I wonder.

@jennifergrady3 @SweenWSweens Thank you!

[Granny Knuckle @grannyknuckle]

@SweenWSweens This is neat. Thank you for sharing this. Do you have each person play independently? There's not a way for students to play together is there?

I made this illustration based on some fun Eid traditions we do in this special day.

A little thread:

[🇵🇸REVOLT (and use alt txt) #RiotsWork @PublicNewSense1]

The city "assumes" that encampment enclosures have cost a million dollars, with that estimate only taking into account 8 of them. Even setting aside the absurd cruelty, when we say it's cheaper just to house people, we're not lying: it would be pennies on the dollar

[Granny Knuckle @grannyknuckle]

@EducationNext Ick. Charter schools are public schools, and public schools should be secular.

[covid is oncogenic @chaitrovert]

It's not ok to spread your colds and other "Not Covid" around. Wear a mask if you have respiratory symptoms and have to be around others or in spaces that others will also use after you leave. The old normal was disgusting. Do better.

[TickTockMaths @TickTockMaths]

Just written these questions. Any thoughts?

I wish I was taught this way of finding the greatest common factor when I was in school

[philip lewis @Phil_Lewis_]

A Colorado sheriff's deputy shot and killed an unarmed man at point-blank range in a middle school pick-up line, newly released video shows

He “died on the ground outside the school as kids wearing backpacks walked past.”

Does anyone know of a pacing guide that has one of these characteristics:

- choose your own adventure (on a bigger scale than just skipping a lesson here or there)
- focuses on big ideas, strategies, and models (multiple-grades) rather than just standards (single grade)

@Sneffleupagus @LaraMathcalf If models are used well, students should be observing as models are being changed to make equivalent fractions and verbalizing it like, "When you make 1/2 into 2/4, the number of equal parts in the whole are doubled which also doubles the number of shaded parts."
