@JayWamsted At school with high school students starting the new semester!

[Mary @mkcc94]

@ModestTeacher I beat the busses out of the parking lot at the 3:17 bell! Happy Friday!

@bradroy @Veganmathbeagle That would be y=x^2+9

[Mary @mkcc94]

@mrdardy Delta Math is great for skills practice. Desmos activities are great for visualizing graphs, and there are great activity builder lessons already made!

[Mary @mkcc94]

@MikeJToronto Students who miss a lot of days must be very independent learners using provided videos. In my experience this is far from the case. Many are provided services when at school, so miss those also.

[Mary @mkcc94]

@sage_stage When they show up late with a Starbucks drink though.

[Mary @mkcc94]

@ModestTeacher Strongly disagree. They are teens who do not know what knowledge they will need in the future. We are exposing them to different topics and helping them to learn perseverance, goal setting and the value of hard work.

@TeachMrReed Some freshmen definitely acting like 7th graders, but juniors and seniors have grown up, which is great to see!

[Mary @mkcc94]

@JayWamsted My kids are almost 25 and 28, but if I had it to do over, I would definitely take their phones at night!

@MrsSheehanMath Must also come in outside of class and make test corrections prior to retake.

[Mary @mkcc94]

@MrsSheehanMath To be eligible for a retake, must have completed 80% of practice assignments prior to test AND the entire review. Second score counts, but can earn 100% on retake.

[Mary @mkcc94]

@Larryferlazzo @mcleod I’d say less than 50% in high school.

[Mary @mkcc94]

@heymrsbond Love this! May use next year with my 3 sections of Algebra 1!

[Mary @mkcc94]

@mckeemath If they don’t know basic facts, I tell them to rely on the calculator. It is a big disadvantage for them when they learn to factor, simplify radicals or solve equations, but no use making them memorize at this point.

[Mary @mkcc94]

@Andrew82306019 @teachrealistic Most of mine is class work, not home work, if they use their class time wisely.

[Mary @mkcc94]

@teachrealistic If they are not doing the work, it’s time for repercussions at home. No screens, car, phone, video games, ear buds, friends over, going out—whatever it takes.

[Mary @mkcc94]

@cara__jackson Give them some space, but watch the online grade book. If they’re missing the first 5 assignments and fail the first assessment, find out why and have some repercussions at home if needed.

[Mary @mkcc94]

@MrEFinch Greek yogurt, whole oats, unsweetened coconut flakes and frozen sweet cherries--delicious!

[Mary @mkcc94]

@wokeSTEMteacher Work part time at Marshalls—love it!

[Mary @mkcc94]

@mathteacher24 Consistent effort, understanding and retention.
