My daughter's Y3 teacher is the absolute GOAT. She single-handedly crocheted a mini-me of each kid in her class as an end of year gift. Approx. 8hrs per doll. Even the hairstyles and clothes are spot on. What a legend.

Definitely all the names of the angles formed by two parallels and a transversal.

Which math topic is only taught because the standards say to teach it but in reality we'd all be fine if it disappears?

[Lynne Pachnowski @lmpach]

@saravdwerf I always say to my pre-service teachers that they should tell parents to play a board game or do a puzzle with their kids.

@ddmeyer I would ask, "Why can't I just add 3 and 4 to get 7 and then just deal with 1/3+3/5?" I also like visuals, so I would also ask for a picture of what's going on. Or maybe to show me on a number line.

@kbp9pbk We need to try these!

Ok I actually really like the whiteboard pencils! My students said they were perfectly readable, and they liked the sound. They wipe off easily with a damp cloth and they write well even on a damp board. The colours are very vibrant, they liked the blue.

Many people feel math class *is* hard. I've been thinking about a weirder question: *Should* it be hard?

@UAkron_Edu Yes, but it's also the best job in the whole world! You've got this!

New teachers, this one's for you.🧡

We do math slowly and we think about it.

Look at this tan I got on the beach

@TracyZager I can definitely see that perspective!

It seems like everything is getting cancelled, but do you know what will never get cancelled?

The a's in a/(a+b).
