I teach secondary math as well as Developmental Math at a university. Avid coffee drinker, reader, and musician. My favorite number is -42.

@misscalcul8 That is just the positive energy we all need! Will you share your secrets for truth tables?

[Christin Baker @Ms_C_Squared]

@TypeAMathLand Yes! Do share the problem—I also love finding really good questions 😁

[Christin Baker @Ms_C_Squared]

@Brewmath Thank you so much! Email probably. coffeeandcomputation at gmail.

[Christin Baker @Ms_C_Squared]

@Brewmath Is this a lesson you’re willing to share? I’d love to see it!

[Christin Baker @Ms_C_Squared]

Secondary teachers who grade warm-ups in some way, what are your systems/methods? I’ve never had to grade them before and I need a more streamlined process (and one that doesn’t involve 500 pieces of paper weekly). Please share strategies! #iteachmath #mtbos

I recently saw a set of “determine the shaded fraction” task cards that were a bit challenging and required visual-spatial reasoning, and now I can’t seem to find them. Can anyone recommend a set? #mtbos #iteachmath

[Christin Baker @Ms_C_Squared]

Good morning #mtbos! Does anyone have examples of digital math ISNs that they would be willing to show or share with me? Trying to refine things for this year! #iteachmath

[Christin Baker @Ms_C_Squared]

I’m four chapters into #buildingthinkingclassrooms and excited to reframe curricular tasks! Now, here’s hoping my wish for items to create #vnps is granted! #mtbos #iteachmath

[Christin Baker @Ms_C_Squared]

It’s hard to believe it’s already back-to-school time! I keep debating my classroom desk arrangement. What’s your favorite size for grouping student, and why? #mtbos #iteachmath

[Christin Baker @Ms_C_Squared]

@TypeAMathLand Your classroom looks great! I love the “what mathematicians do” posters!

[Christin Baker @Ms_C_Squared]

@TypeAMathLand @Wipebook Congratulations!

[Christin Baker @Ms_C_Squared]

@TypeAMathLand This looks amazing! I’m the same way—I keep meaning to organize my resources better so that I have a list by topic. Maybe tomorrow is the day!

[Christin Baker @Ms_C_Squared]

Designing a “math literacy” poster:
1)”Plusing,”“minusing,”&”timesing” are not words.Use adding,subtracting,&multiplying instead.
2)Lines are by definition straight.Otherwise they’re curves.
3)FOIL is what you use to cover a baking dish,not a mathematical procedure.
What else?

[Christin Baker @Ms_C_Squared]

@MathByTheMt Multiplication facts, basic math vocab (ie sum difference product quotient etc.), combining like terms, solving basic equations, order of operations, and the fact that = does not mean “the answer is.”

@TypeAMathLand What brand of sauce? I’ve never tried them because I never know if it will actually taste good.

[Christin Baker @Ms_C_Squared]

Math teachers at my school all dressed up as different functions today as an early Halloween celebration. I’m a stepwise function! #mtbos #iteachmath

[Christin Baker @Ms_C_Squared]

@TypeAMathLand Something to look into! Thanks for sharing!

Those of you who used your phone for a document camera, what stands and/or cables did you use? What are your tips, tricks, and recommendations? #iTeachMath #MTBoS

@MathByTheMt What’s your recipe?
