@teachthemx3 @FutureInclined In 20 yrs, my teaching has been with @CPMmath. My current district can't afford CPM but I use constructivist approaches whenever practical, which is often. Ss should be thinking mathematically as opposed to memorizing theorems and steps. But it takes pracice to teach that way

Test security is essential to ensure students who are assessing with integrity are not disadvantaged for good grades. AI is my go-to for generating multiple versions this summer. Yours? https://t.co/XDeOlIzx7h

Are any college math professors using quizzing  "gamification" defined as unlimited retakes on a quiz that is resourced by banked questions so the students get a different quiz each time.  Then their quiz score is the best of attempts?

Gotta GRAPH something Rational?
Functions look pretty fractional
See how they're CUT goin' around

@jppav_teacher I just surveyed my Ss and, again, they love their teams: https://t.co/9hKS8wRkik

I found this documentary exciting because I have known people in several different states we have lived in to have connections with this work over the years: https://t.co/he7DHmYM1L

@fawnpnguyen Do they later confuse this when they use the geometry of factoring quadratics (length x width of a rectangle) when it is simple for them to prove the consistency of AxC??

[Lane Walker @LaneWalker2]

@edtechmathteach I taught in a special needs school for a year and came to appreciate Zearn and Singapore math.

[Lane Walker @LaneWalker2]

@BobMarshallX @edtechmathteach Do they visualize 4/2 as a decimal?

[Lane Walker @LaneWalker2]

Why did the cow cross the road? He thought he was a decimal and wanted to moooove to the other side. Shameless plug for helping students to understand place value. #iteachmath #MTBoS

[Lane Walker @LaneWalker2]

@MrsSheehanMath Are all those skills mentioned in your state standards?

[Lane Walker @LaneWalker2]

@Michael63362785 @billdavidsoniii Don't feel bad. I had to start over with 3rd grade to understand Common Core math, using Singapore math...after 30 hrs of grad math. While I was learning, tho, I was wondering, "Why in the world didn't I understand this before?" It's the difference between memory & numeracy.

[Lane Walker @LaneWalker2]

@billdavidsoniii Interesting. In HS, we teach long division with polynomials. Not knowing multiplication facts is not a huge hurdle, using partial products instead of the traditional "put and bring down" algorithm.

[Lane Walker @LaneWalker2]

@TS_Secrets @starley8586 Do the trade schools assume applicants have basic high-school level math skills?

[Lane Walker @LaneWalker2]

Promoting AI for math teachers here: https://t.co/hcbIupN6s4 What have you tried?

[Lane Walker @LaneWalker2]

@ProductivePhys1 @ShakinthatChalk Have you looked into Zearn? I love the way it connects all operations to concrete ideas. Visualizing lends itself well to memorizing.

[Lane Walker @LaneWalker2]

@ProductivePhys1 @ShakinthatChalk Because those tricks enable students to avoid numeracy and quantitative reasoning.

[Lane Walker @LaneWalker2]

@ProductivePhys1 @ShakinthatChalk I recommend Lipping Ma: Knowing and teaching elementary mathematics. It helped me understand what I missed growing up.
