@erastourticketz Need 1 or 2 to any night!

[Sydney Ross @hypotemoosesyd]

@midnightslove_ Sorry I’m late - looking for 1 ticket to any night in Chicago! 😊

Math Quote Of The Day: do you ever feel like the GCF of 1?

[Sydney Ross @hypotemoosesyd]

Today’s joy: one of my calc Ss always writes sentences explaining his thinking, but he does it in a very funny way. Examples include “yikes, definite integral. let’s try some u-substitution” or “let’s take the derivative of this mess of a function!” #iteachmath #mtbos

@CalcuChris @hypotemoosesyd @dameunyou plus this is currently us lesson planning... (now also ft @remithemathrat )

[Sydney Ross @hypotemoosesyd]

Why can’t Ss have blankets on zoom? I often have one during my classes. People have messaged me saying it’s a great idea! It doesn’t mean I’m falling asleep, and it doesn’t mean I’m not listening. It just means I’m more comfortable, and I do my best work when I’m comfortable 😊

Sometimes it’s fun to be the student again while I’m completing tasks on my own before implementing them with students. Color coded growth pattern problem - only one of many solutions of course! #iteachmath #MTBoS

During these times, we should appreciate the small wins, both inside and outside of the classroom. Small classroom win: new students unmuted themselves! Small non-classroom win: a kind man at Trader Joe’s gave me free peanut butter cups bc they were out of the type I asked for ���

If you know me, you know I love manatees 😁 found this meme and will definitely be using it as a temperature check in future classes. Which manatee are you? #teachertwitter #iteachmath

Friendly reminder that grades don’t define you :)

[Sydney Ross @hypotemoosesyd]

We need to teach our students HOW to listen, respond, and ask good questions during a discussion. We cannot expect them to engage in productive mathematical discourse without first demonstrating the skills necessary to do so! #iteachmath #MTBoS

[Megan Haase @teaachingmaath]

Problem-solving speed does not and will never equate to competence! Slow math is good math!

[Jonathan Alsheimer @mr_Alsheimer]

Educators, sometimes it’s ok to just give your students a day to get caught up.

[Sydney Ross @hypotemoosesyd]

I TA for Ss who have been learning calc online all semester, which is tough! They had a sudden change in profs last week, so I took a moment to check-in during discussion. Some of them hadn’t spoken all semester but very positively responded to my check-in. Heart is warm! #MTBoS

My second day activity in AP Stats: I have students “draw a “statistician.” Invariably, the majority of class draws a white dude (usually with glasses). I teach predominantly students of color. (1/3)

Just to recap: a billionaire is getting free publicly-funded health care so he can stay on the job and sue to block low-income people from getting publicly-funded health care paid for by billionaires.

[Sydney Ross @hypotemoosesyd]

So important to have open conversations with students about why certain problems may be problematic!

[Meredith Scheiner @MathMeredith]

It’s Ratio time in many 6th grade classes. Reminder: don’t use boy/girl as a way to generate ratios. If your curriculum resource does- start the conversation around why it’s problematic and have students rewrite the problem to be more inclusive. #iteachmath @MTMS_at_NCTM

[Sydney Ross @hypotemoosesyd]

Love this application of linear equations! A great example of how math can be beautiful

[Mark Kaercher @shskaercher]

Teach Algebra? Give "The Astroid" a try! Great #mathart application of linear equations! #iteachmath #MTBoS

[Julián Castro @JulianCastro]

Trump throws a tantrum on stage and breaks every norm.

Many media: “A heated debate last night with each man going on the offense.”

Reflexive both sides-ism is a habit media just can’t quit, even when doing so would serve the truth and our democracy.

Stop rewarding him.

[Marc Lamont Hill @marclamonthill]

Trump didn’t denounce White supremacists. He told them to “stand back and stand by.” This wasn’t an accident.
