@joelbezaire @KarineKelley2 And I'm trying (mostly unsuccessfully) to call them composite fractions. My textbook calls them improper.

[Laura Duggan @lduggan15]

@joelbezaire @KarineKelley2 As a 4th Gr teacher who just spent the last hour teaching how to convert improper fractions to mixed numbers, at first I cringed at this tweet. Then I realized their mathematical importance at *my* grade level.

Part 2: watercolor painting!

[Laura Duggan @lduggan15]

One of my favorite STEAM projects: making architectural drawings of bridges. #tccoyotes #iteachmath #pbl

[Laura Duggan @lduggan15]

Thank goodness it got fixed quickly!

When your projector bulb goes pop, it’s time to go old school! #tccoyotes #wcsdinnovators #iteachmath #mtbos

Fractions are yummy when they’re made of 🍕! #MTBoS #iteachmath #wcsdinnovators #tccoyotes

@juliereads1 @TiceCreekWC Yes! They left on Friday hotly debating which book we were going to read!

[Laura Duggan @lduggan15]

I'm feeling grateful for that teacher who inspired me to print my comments on post-its 6 at a time. It makes giving feedback so much easier! #MTBoS #iteachmath

@courthesse We’re ending Unit 1 today, hoping to start Base 10 tomorrow

[Laura Duggan @lduggan15]

@courthesse We’re on the same lessons!

[Laura Duggan @lduggan15]

Hands on learning about metric measurement! #MTBoS #iteachmath #ticecreek #wcsdinnovators

@juliereads1 @msdeluca2 You could spin some great tales!

[WillNotBeSilent @EMPteacher]

@sarahjteacher It's like getting permission to use the good china! Do it! The books that don't come back, I spin wild tales of the adventures that book is on, finding a child who needs them. It feels good.
