Love that kids are using @Desmos to work together, problem solve, teach each other, and have math discussions

Mathing, building, and designing makes for a great Monday.

[John Mitsch @JohnnyNM23]

@yanquiloca @DoeMoe282 YES! Thank you to the community, it has been amazing. The kids love them and it makes the classroom a better learning environment. It really has been great to watch the kids come into class and find a place in the room that they enjoy being at.

Kids collaborating, analyzing, processing, noticing and wondering about data. #SAMS

Exactly how I want kids to feel at the end of the first week.
“How do you feel about math class so far?” #goingtobeagrreatyear

“I think we limit our ability to affect the lives of our students because of the way that we name learning. ... We get them to care about grades and GPAs and SATs and their rank.”

What we should focus on is deep thinking and solving ethical problems. —@MeenooRami #MSC2019

@cmmteach @Desmos I had 6th graders make like a marble run/marble slides with tables/points/connected lines. Marble on top, star at bottom-had to make 10 lines (min) and the marble had to touch all ten and get the star at the bottom. They loved it!

When you find out about the home life of some of your students, it will change your attitude and your approach toward those students. It must.

“He cared about the kids.”

That’s what I hope they say about me. That’s what I want my legacy to be.
