@mburnsmath I live in 315! Can’t figure out where you are though…my guess is Syracuse?

Love the idea of asking for wrong answers. I think it can build independence in our S's by giving them a way to think about a problem when they don't know what to do

I'm attending the 2023 Make Math Moments Virtual Summit from @makemathmoments #mmmsummit2023 RT if you think others will find this helpful 🙌 https://t.co/6gDsWcPmwI #mmmsummit2023

This thread is so spot on

I've had a bunch of close friends leave teaching and start working in the private sector. Without fail, every single one of them says they are less stressed, their work/life balance is better, and their mental health is better, even though some are making less money.

Teaching right now feels like: Can you eliminate every single possible excuse a student might come up with? If not, you might be out of luck.

This is my first year teaching Algebra 1. Going into quadratics next...what is the best starting place for quadratics? I'm debating between factoring trinomials (they know how to multiply binomials) and solving equations (they can solve linear equations). What say you, #mtbos ?

[Jeremy Thomas @mrthomas334]

Looking for more activities where S's can collect data to produce a linear model. I have used distance/time and number of knots/rope length, just wondering what other ideas are out there? There is something special about S's using data they actually collected themselves #mtbos

@pgliljedahl #thinkingclassroom I have heard from multiple parents/students that they can't learn in a group...how do I respond? #mtbos #iteachmath

@FractionTalks How do I sign up?

This has been a big thing at every school I've been to, and it always feels wrong to me when I do it. Discourages students from thinking for themselves and encourages them to let the teacher do the thinking for them.

One of the best cards I’ve ever gotten!

@JRappaport27 @pgliljedahl Wow this is great! Thank you!

[Jeremy Thomas @mrthomas334]

I have been listening to the audiobook "building thinking classrooms" by @pgliljedahl and it's blowing my mind! But he keeps referencing "the companion website" for resources and I can't find it. Anybody know where I can find it? #iteachmath #mtbos

[Jeremy Thomas @mrthomas334]

@pgliljedahl 🙏 thank you!

[Jeremy Thomas @mrthomas334]

Help! What are these called and what can I do with them in the classroom? #MTBoS #iteachmath

[Jeremy Thomas @mrthomas334]

Does your school allow students to make up class absences by staying after school and doing make up work?
