Drawing is at 6 pm today! What would you buy with $100? I think I would buy more bold flair pens and a new notebook to start.
Facebook group is Mathematicians in the Making. Can’t wait for you and friends to join us!

Texas teachers! Come here to learn all things STAAR redesign. A new blog post drops tomorrow morning to show all of the accommodations provided and how to navigate them within the platform. Click here to visit and learn about question types, etc! https://t.co/QGysmxcaJ5

[Dani Fry Jackson, Ed.D. @danijacksonmath]

4th and 5th grade teachers! Do your students need a strategy to divide that is between partial quotients (big 7) and standard algorithm? Try this out! I promise it will help YOU visualize standard algorithm too! #TikTok https://t.co/40kyXxey5n

[Dani Fry Jackson, Ed.D. @danijacksonmath]

Do your students actually use part part whole mats and strip diagrams to help them solve or just to put the numbers on after they solve? Check out this strategy! Works K-5!! #iteachmath #TikTok https://t.co/QMpYuAv4kv

P.S. This post does not mean that I am Pro STAAR test. I do believe that we need to be educated so that our students can be successful and I want to make that process as easy as possible for Ts. 😀

I've started a passion project where I can share my love of math. Read my first blog post where I take a deep dive into the new question types. Take a look! https://t.co/tYP9NZ20t3
