Remember the Birthday Twins problem (in a group of 24 there's a 50% chance that two people have the same birthday)? From @caren_holtzman, a link to a pandemic version.

The TLC teacher party is starting now! #tlcollab #tlcteacherparty

So many math questions!! How does carpooling or ride share services effect the number of cars on the road? How about the trolley/trains? What environmental effects does this bring up? If everyone took public transit, would the traffic free up and save us time?

[Mimi Tran @mimitranteaches]

@sstrong57 The single answer to this question is B because they’re trying to practice counting up from 9. This is really limiting though and doesn’t allow space for explanation or creativity at all. Yikes!

The next Teacher Party is October 12! Check out https://t.co/bHoIsao8oO for more details.

If you missed our inaugural Teacher Party this morning, don’t fret! We will have two more this year. Best way to start a weekend is with a little teaching inspiration and fun. Today we celebrated the POWER of estimating!📍🖇📐 #estimationcelebration #justtellmewhichjarhasahundred

A good math question: “What conjectures do you have?”

[Mimi Tran @mimitranteaches]

@fawnpnguyen @MrHonner @GlobalMathDept I missed this! Is there a recorded version floating around somewhere?

There's a lot of math talk in here. I'm curious to see a prediction graph of the student loan crisis when middle schoolers now graduate from college.

[Mimi Tran @mimitranteaches]

What classroom structures exist in which these ideas can be truly taught in the classroom when forced curriculums are sometimes a barrier?

[Mimi Tran @mimitranteaches]

I am reenergized from today’s workshop with @joboaler and @chaoskeeper11 ! My biggest takeaways are that 1) Everyone is on a growing journey and 2) Speed is the enemy of deep and flexible thinking.

Today, my first second grade class graduated from the 6th grade! Wishing them the best and I’m so sad I did not get to see the graduation. ❤️❤️❤️

[Mimi Tran @mimitranteaches]

I didn’t take enough pictures but yesterday, students exhibited their mobiles! #htmma #hanginthereproject #pbl

[Mimi Tran @mimitranteaches]

In pbl, students really get an opportunity to take off with creativity. #pbl #miniproject #hanginthereproject

Hang In There Project! #alexandercalder #pbl #makingmobiles
