$5 to CHANGE a STUDENT’S LIFE! Looking for 100 friends to donate $5 each THIS WEEK to help us purchase a 3-D printer package and a few Drones with cameras to give away as door prizes at our Family STEM Night at Connally Jr. High. My Venmo is @john-choins. PLEASE join me!

THANK YOU! to the stranger in the black t-shirt with white screen printing who left this at my door, rang the bell and then sped off! I’m grateful, but not sure what I did to deserve such kindness!!!

Students “choosing” IXL from their menu board of additional activities as they choose the pathway to their learning. #webleedrocketblue #robinsonisd @whatsnewatrjh

Students choosing to Use starburst to discuss/discover changes in perimeter and area based on scale factor! #webleedrocketblue #robinsonisd @whatsnewatrjh

Need pencils or notebook paper? I have lots to give away free or you can make a donation. Samples of pencils are pictured. Lots of notebook paper also! Just tell me what you need!

[John Choins @MrChoins]

Extremely thankful to be awarded another grant from @robinson_ef thanks, in part, to the generosity of @AGN_Foundation! REALLY excited about this one! @glowforge @whatsnewatrjh @BaylorSOE #robinsonisd

Sometimes you just have to create a learning environment outside the classroom. This life-size coordinate plane taped onto the floor of our cafetorium helps us to see graphing from a different viewpoint! #rjhmathblast #RobinsonISD @whatsnewatrjh

[John Choins @MrChoins]

Have you tried small-group instruction? It exponentially increases the one-on-one time with students, even during a 46-minute class period! @whatsnewatrjh #robinsonisd #rjhmathblast @BaylorSOE

[John Choins @MrChoins]

Sometimes you have to take a couple minutes in math class and remember what we are thankful for! It’s about teaching the whole child, not just about the math! #ThankfulDoor #rjhmathblast #RobinsonISD @whatsnewatrjh

Why use meaningless data you find online, when you can create your own and have fun at the same time? Preparing to create scatter plots. How many balls can you toss in the bucket in 30 seconds? Attempts (x) and Makes (y) @whatsnewatrjh #rjhmathblast #robinsonisd

[John Choins @MrChoins]

More data collection in algebra! How many ping pong balls can you get in the bucket in 30 seconds? Creating our own data to make a scatter plot! @whatsnewatrjh #rjhmathblast #robinsonisd

[John Choins @MrChoins]

Data collection time in algebra as we get ready to discuss scatter plots! Is there a better use for cheese balls and shaving cream? Attempts (x) and sticks (y)! #rjhmathblast #robinsonisd @whatsnewatrjh

[John Choins @MrChoins]

What can you do on a life-size coordinate plane? Calculate distance between 2 points using Pythagorean theorem or even write the equation of a line given 3 pumpkins, I mean points. Active learning makes a difference! #rjhmathblast @whatsnewatrjh #RobinsonISD

[John Choins @MrChoins]

Practicing Pythagorean Theorem and writing ordered pairs on our life-size coordinate plane at RJH! A great way to spend Halloween! @whatsnewatrjh #robinsonisd

[John Choins @MrChoins]

@Kaylin_Noel Guilty......🥴(but oh so satisfied....)

[John Choins @MrChoins]

Students COLLABORATING as they race to review those algebra concepts! @whatsnewatrjh #robinsonisd #mathrocketsrjh

[John Choins @MrChoins]

Using this fantastic report in Eduphoria to help students know what they missed on the benchmark. @whatsnewatrjh #mathrocketsrjh #robinsonisd

[John Choins @MrChoins]

When a student surprises you with great gifts, your day is made! Pillows for the couch! @whatsnewatrjh #robinsonisd #MathRocketsRJH

We heard someone say there aren’t many teachers on Twitter 🤔

Lol

RT if you’re a teacher.

@cocacolaraider You can bring tacos to my campus ANY time! Just sayin’!
