@KiggansMr is killing it! We meet once a month to plan and implement a tech integrated lesson based on our monthly trainings from last year. So far we have explored @GoogleForEdu @Desmos @PearDeck @texthelp #EquatIO and #DeltaMath Let me know if you are interested! #FMSD12Days

[Mr. Kiggans@GoldHillMiddleMath @KiggansMr]

Goals I have for 2020 are to continue to use/learn/adapt to all the resources available for Math! Also continue to learn new ways to present materials that are interactive with the students. To everyone: Take risks and if doesn't work, try something else! #FMSD12Days

@SCDiscus did find Math Ste"a"m activities already made.
Auto draw is neat but would take me weeks to practice and take notes on it - unless I had a stylus.

Day 9: "No S" is very easy way to ensure student safety. And in today's world, we all like to show our successes in classes, schools etc...but need to be mindful the student/parent has signed the permission form. Only takes a few minutes! #FMSD12Days

[Mr. Kiggans@GoldHillMiddleMath @KiggansMr]

Day 8: I use numerous sites but one of my go-to's is QUIZIZZ! Free and you can make your own or use already made items. I don't always use as a quiz but as reviews as well. Real-time feedback - entrance/exit slips! #FMSD12Days #WAKELET

Day 7:
I want to give a shout out to @HarmsAngie for the HOUSE system that is implemented @GHMSBulldogs . The work and coordination of involving EVERY kid in challenges throughout the year and implementing lessons is awesome. She puts a lot of time & effort into it #FMSD12Days

[Mr. Kiggans@GoldHillMiddleMath @KiggansMr]

Day 6 - We discuss plagiarism and giving proper credit in 7th math at GHMS for our PBL's. #GHMSBulldogs

Extremely weak attempt by someone who loves music but is absolutely amazed by people that play it and make it. #FMSD12Days

Day 4. I try to use a PBL per unit. Some are shorter than others but all use the 4 C's. We are getting ready to start my "City" unit. Also, at the beginning, the student has to apply for the job by submitting an application to my company. #FMSD12Days #FM21STEAM #GHMSBULLDOGS

Working at GHMS, it is very difficult to SHOUTOUT one individual. What I observe on a daily basis is an entire staff putting #ChildrenfirstEveryDay ! GHMS is a special place to work. #FMSD12Days #GHMSBulldogs #Bulldogslead

Day 1 #FMSD12Days Hey Everyone! Kiggans here. I teach 7th Math at GHMS! Look forward to the 12 Days of Twitter!!!! I love GIF's 😀

[Mr. Kiggans@GoldHillMiddleMath @KiggansMr]

My New Year goal will be to keep searching for STEAM lessons that tie into our math standards! #fmsd12days

[Mr. Kiggans@GoldHillMiddleMath @KiggansMr]

Being a math teacher, I get happy when students SHOW their steps in completing the problems - so anytime this happens it would be a FAVORITE LESSON #fmsd12days

[Mr. Kiggans@GoldHillMiddleMath @KiggansMr]

Many years ago I was teaching science. During a weather unit, I left the "M" off of "Mass" twice in one lesson!!!!!!!!#fmsd12days

[Mr. Kiggans@GoldHillMiddleMath @KiggansMr]

Kids...... #fmsd12days

[Mr. Kiggans@GoldHillMiddleMath @KiggansMr]

Day 8 I use IXL, Khan, Brainpop, pieces of google daily (working to expand), and during PBL we are implementing Flipgrid for those students that are choosing to use it. Would love more middle level math that fits our standards and expectations. #fmsd12days
