@fawnpnguyen Thanks for sharing! Number sense feels like the biggest struggle for my students this year so I’m excited to incorporate these.

[ashley mcmanus @mathwithmcmanus]

@howie_hua I have to remind myself of this every year because students always ask “why??”. It’s important to share why instead of moving on to build that number sense. Thanks for the Tok!

@_CrystalMWatson Heading into my week of spring break so working on refilling that cup and prioritizing mental health! A reminder for all teachers that it's important to do these things during all weeks, not just the breaks. Take time for yourself!

I love adding to my bookmark folder for "Think it out Tuesday" bell ringers! These are some of my favorites and adding a few new ones 👏 #matheducation

The concept of Wordle + math = 😻😻
I absolutely love @nerdlegame and can't wait to have my students compete with me like we do with Wordle!

“The shift to online school led to struggle for many, and it led young people to act creatively and with ingenuity…Instead of so much focus on learning loss, let’s talk about learning gained.”
An refreshing view on the pandemic! #SMU622 https://t.co/EJPjqFXQFi

[ashley mcmanus @mathwithmcmanus]

I forget a lot while I teach so this would blend so easily into my classroom 🤓
But actually, this is a great way to create open ended questions that require students to think and show understanding! #SMU622

This @openmiddle problem from @mchambermath is great for seventh graders learning about circles. https://t.co/4HokGnhDJE #iteachmath

[ashley mcmanus @mathwithmcmanus]

This includes a great resource and list of questions that students can use to reflect daily on their learning.

Think-Pair-Share is one of my favorite quick activities in the classroom! This is a great read for reminders on how to implement it in a way that is meaningful to students and their learning. #smu622

@TeachSped10 “Be yourself” and “let students get to know you” have been two critical (yet quite simple) things for my classroom environment! It’s important to remind our students that teachers are normal people too. I think they forget that sometimes #smu622

[ashley mcmanus @mathwithmcmanus]

If you aren’t using @PearDeck, that’s the first problem.
But if you aren’t using their pre-made templates, you’re just missing out. Those templates are definitely my students favorites! (Especially if they include Peary 🍐🤓) #smu622
