I'm just a person with a passion for math...and teaching math...and problem solving...and the SF Giants.

Used @MrOrr_geek activity.
Asked s’s where undefined would go and they said “in the trash!”
Then talked about how it COULD go on either end if you follow the changing slope pattern, but since there’s not one place, it’s like it’s not a function!

@pwharris @LeeanneBranham I did this activity yesterday and it took until my LAST class when a student said “well it’s zero…if you add x and y it’s zero”
And my world was complete in that moment. I could have picked her up and swirled her around ❤️

Listening to "Ep 69: Equations of Lines are Figure-out-able!" at https://t.co/IM9j3oKHAM
So good!!! @LeeanneBranham

[Kristin Perkins @kperksmath]

How do you help s’s understand what a domain/range of “all real numbers” means?
Mine are super confused about what it means to have a domain that is ARN and a range that is not ARN. They asked “what is not a number?”

“A bully doesn’t stop being a bully because they went home for three days.” @JohnHannigan75 #dontsuspendme

[Kristin Perkins @kperksmath]

If a child struggles to read, we don’t send them home for a few days expecting they will come back knowing how to read. Why do we do this when a child struggles with behavior? @Jess_hannigan gets me fired up every time! #dontsuspendme

Are you a @PosProject school? Looking for end of year writing activities? Make space for P2 and the #otherpeoplematter mindset in your writing!

Super old post but I’m just now seeing it. 😂😂😂

[Sara B. Vaughn @Vaughn_trapped]

Ok @k8nowak I finished it. Haven’t broadcast it yet, but here it is. I’m pleased. Six suits are coming to see a lesson on Thursday do I had a deadline. I rather love it. #learnwithim

[Kristin Perkins @kperksmath]

This kid MADE MY DAY. He said Mrs. P is it ok if I do that? Me: (trying not to jump for joy) Tell me what you did. S: Well I know that 5 is the sum and -2 is the addend so I wrote the addition to check to see if 7 was really the other addend. #LearnWithIM

[Kristin Perkins @kperksmath]

That moment when you see the beauty of a concept-building approach to instruction. I guarantee this student could also recognize the traditional formula. #learnwithIM #OpenUpMath

[Simon Pampena @mathemaniac]

Same perimeter, different area.

[Kristin Perkins @kperksmath]

@Vaughn_trapped @LeeanneBranham @openupresources It’s more about the experience. They *already* learned this in 6th grade.

[Kristin Perkins @kperksmath]

Getting a taste of equivalent ratios! #seewhatididthere #learnwithIM @openupresources

[Kristin Perkins @kperksmath]

Hey @openupresources teachers! How do you process the unit overviews? Today I took notes. Helped me really sort through what all those words on the page are actually saying! #bigahamoments #LearnWithIM

Maths should not be about rules, and right or wrong answers, and 'mindless memorisation' but about creativity and ideas, says @joboaler
