@howie_hua 10(25)=250
2(25)=50
250+50=300

[Emily Kohn @mrsemkohn]

@howie_hua 50% of 70 is 35.
50% of 5 is 2.5
So 50% of 75 is 37.5.
Then 10% of 75 is 7.5.
So 60% of 75 is 45.

New TikTok video: Why do we need common denominators when adding and subtracting fractions?

@kenny5alive @p_jack13 I’m sorry that you’re in a place where you feel the need to attack math teachers and children. I wish I could do more to help you.

I hope my students appreciated this important message I sent via Remind 🤓🥧 @RemindHQ

@delta_dc Because a fourth degree Taylor polynomial is better than a third degree Taylor polynomial! #changemymind

Reminder to self: You won’t look back on this year and wish you’d been harder on your students. Give them the benefit of the doubt and and a little grace. #hybridlearning #pandemiclearning #empathy

@z_cress Completely understandable! No offense taken since I’m not one for mincing my words normally, especially in areas of education I feel strongly about. I wanted to make sure I came away from the session with as few misconceptions as possible and now feel accomplished ✅

@delta_dc @z_cress @schwenic @NCTM @wcperla just led an amazing presentation discussing hard conversations (specifically on addressing inequity and tackling cultural/racial divisions in the math classroom) so it has been an amazing day at #gvmia21 bookended by important issues overall!

[Emily Kohn @mrsemkohn]

@z_cress @delta_dc @schwenic @NCTM Would it be fair to say that your focus is primarily on math and critical thinking with the hope that you’ll equip students with the tools to then identify, analyze, and appropriately react to “bad things” in the world around them? Basically social justice as a byproduct?

I use chat blasts with my students to have them practice their awesome math skills: “Get your answers ready in the chat...3, 2, 1, go!” Yesterday, my pre-calc students decided to mutiny and just go on 3 every single time 😂 #rebelnerds #virtualteaching #mathteacher

[Emily Kohn @mrsemkohn]

Thank you @z_cress for the unexpected wonder that was your Empowering Mathematics presentation at #gvmia21 Social justice, critical thinking, and how mathematics ties it all together.

I introduced pre-calculus students to sine and cosine waves yesterday via Beethoven. They were not completely indifferent 👍🏼 https://t.co/sJiR2mjAZr #precalculus #mathisbeautiful

Looking forward to starting second semester with this in mind. #mathmakessense #apcalc #precalc #tiredteacher

What the end of this semester has felt like -
Me: Here are 48 ways for you to succeed.
Students:
Me: I am here for you and anything you need.
Students:
Me: I will drag you across the finish line if it’s the last thing I do!
Students: *digging their heels in, kicking, screaming*

We did something pretty cool in #apcalc today 🤓 Usually S’s make giant whiteboard mind maps to begin reviewing for different units. So here is the virtual version! [slides + google meet + breakout rooms] #saddlepointdinosaur
