@LauraVHawkins We call it out of play too

@mermerinlux @ISLuxembourg @joboaler Such an honor to collaborate and learn with you @mermerinlux !

@ISLCZ Stopped to take my own photo today!!! Such a moment of mathematical beauty in what has always been an empty space :)

If Twitter shuts down, you can contact me by going to a darkened bathroom saying "I'm not a math person" three times in front of a mirror and I'll appear to convince you otherwise.

@TracyZager I’m a bit shocked that anyone could fail to see what a treasure you are as an educator and a human being. But I can’t wait to see what happens when THE Tracy Zager has some free time.

@KarenD_EY @emmzie_stanford @MsCollishaw @SarahAlMay @RuthOConnell2 Right back at ‘cha my friend!

[Anna Scannell @mathsmakesense]

@rollings_megan Looks like fun! Can I come and do one too????

[Anna Scannell @mathsmakesense]

What does good group work look like?@saravdwerf’s 100 task does it again! This time with 2nd graders (youngest I’ve ever attempted with)

[Jocelyn Monteith @MonteithJocelyn]

Grade 5 mathematicians @connectcharter kicked off the school year with the 100#s task to encourage talking in math and to norm what "good" group work looks like, sounds like, and feels like- thank you @saravdwerf! Students were so engaged. Our mathematical classroom came alive!

With your child view the photo and ask “What number do you see?" "Where do you see the number five?" "Where else can you find the number 5?"

@Chadvdh @WeVideoEdu @ISLuxembourg Love the student agency in these videos!

@LouNerd3 @Simon_Gregg @Trianglemancsd I want to love the “it has only 3 corners” the best for math reasons but the rainbow one just has my heart

[Anna Scannell @mathsmakesense]

@CasPrimary @Simon_Gregg This one!

[Anna Scannell @mathsmakesense]

@ISLCZ @ISLuxembourg @thinkingatISLux Meaningful measurement connections from the Grade 1 students themselves! @jchumblecrofts check it out!

[Anna Scannell @mathsmakesense]

When the magic of the internet leads to @Trianglemancsd talking math with YOUR kid! I love that she gets to learn with the one and only @LouNerd3 #tmwyk

@pwharris 2/2 After listening to this podcast, I am reflecting on being a better partner for parents. I want them to feel empowered but I DON'T want to hand out workbooks. Any advice #mtbos?

[Anna Scannell @mathsmakesense]

@pwharris 1/2 Our school has taken the strong stance to ban math homework in the elementary. Instead of homework, we built an incredible math games library and we encourage parents to play math with their kids. This is a wildly unpopular initiative with parents, who would prefer a workbook

[All Learners Network @AllLearnersMath]

🤔 How do you talk about models vs. strategies in your math classroom? 🌟 Our language around these concepts really matters for students!➡️Got some great inspiration for this post from the works of @Dr_John_4_Math + @pwharris (links/more in comments) #math4all #iteachmath #mtbos

[Anna Scannell @mathsmakesense]

@rollings_megan Love the authentic integration of play and fractions! What a great chance to get outside and you know I love anything that puts fractions on a number line!

[Anna Scannell @mathsmakesense]

@ISLCZ Ohhhhhhh I love it! We need another PD day to dedicate to painting!
