The Desmos Fellowship PD experience is truly like no other! Thank you to @Desmos @desmosclassroom and @Amplify for continuing this amazing program. So thankful to work with/learn from so many amazing people! 💚💙
@ddmeyer I have tried to stop telling students how to do problems and have done more asking/listening instead. I enjoy teaching this way which makes my life easier.
@NatBanting Nat, this is wonderful. Thank you for sharing! Realizing I did this today in my lesson on multiplying matrices. Multiply a 1x2 by a 2x2, then 1x2 by a 2x3. No wait, a 2x2 by a 2x3. Lots of connections being made as they went!
Practicing my sequence of questions in a #thinkingclassroom. Amazed at how many problems accomplished at VNPS's! Rational exp task today(last one from open middle). https://t.co/WV0xRhUNOU
Trying to shift student mindsets from "when I see this I DO this" (memorizing) to "when I see this I KNOW this" (understanding) can be tough when some have survived by memorizing for so long.
@dwekselgreene@Desmos Thank you for this! We just did this in class today-very timely! I did have an issue with the initial text on slide 5. The last x was missing in this line: displayInitialB = when initialB > 0 "+${initialB}x" otherwise "-${absInitialB}x"
@MsBeckerMaths @Desmos@mrchowmath helped me with this last year. I used this yesterday with students instead of a WS and really liked it: https://t.co/mH9DllTTD0
I love this @desmos AB by @parkermathed as a way for students to review graphing. Curious if there is anything else like this out there. Standard form? Point-slope? Quadratics? https://t.co/8GRdbnFzoM
@MrsSheehanMath Our kids can double up in Alg&Geo or Geo&AA (not blocked together just enrolled in each). We have a class in between AA and Pre-Calc but Ss that do well skip to Pre-Calc. No honors classes.
Reflecting on @ddmeyer's Math without Mistakes:
I had a math professor that once asked us, "If I had a box for all of the correct math I have done and one for all of the wrong math, which would be bigger?"
I share this with my Ss every year.
