@Ohio_Basketball @NKnightsBoysBB @ORedRiders @200SmithieDrive @smithieathleti1 @TwinsburgTigers Good job Corben!

I was recently asked this classic question: If 0 is at the left end and 1,000,000,000 at the right of this line, where should the dot representing 1,000,000 be located?
I love this question but am also fascinated by the wrong answers and what sort of thinking they reveal.

Nearly 55% of the academic vocabulary comes from SS and “increased instructional time in SOCIAL STUDIES—but NOT ELA—is associated with improved reading ability.” If you’re @OCSSNetwork #OCSS2022 keep advocating for THIS being the move to improve reading scores and skills.

NEW: One-mark wonders.

Just chucked it together so it's a bit rough and ready but hopefully you get the idea and might even find it useful!

@tmaynard5 I see using a different teacher as a plus to for the students as they may not see it as going to your math class twice in a day.

Used my new vertical nonpermanent surfaces for the first time. #ThinkingClassroom

[Ben Mahas @greenemiddle]

@pernilleripp Just wondering has anyone let students share books with the class for this?

[Ben Mahas @greenemiddle]

@MsHereth @mlhoofer I did a read out loud with Kathryn Otoshi’s picture book One. Her books Zero and Two have great messages as well. Plus they have a number theme to them!

People won't change the way they talk about what we do until we change the way we talk about what we do. Never give up the opportunity to say something great about your school. Go get it!

Integer Operations- Intro is always Sea of Zeros (@mathequalslove) which proved to really help as students were seeing the connections.
Followed up by playing Close to 100 & Close to Zero (https://t.co/cFLhemUiVp) to practice adding and subtracting positive and negative numbers.
