It's a good day when there's not enough space in the "got it" circle for all the magnets. #iteachmath

Any other stats teachers see a normal distribution every day when playing #Wordle? #apst #Statistics #iteachmath

These prices are getting out of hand! #inflation

@playwyourmath Had thoughts of modular arithmetic and questions about relatively prime numbers.... #playwithyourmath

@playwyourmath A student and I have been playing with this problem for 2 days now, and sort of stumped on the big picture. Having fun but would love a nudge as far as a bigger math topic to investigate a connection. Here's our chart.

Started today with 2 truths and a lie about what students did over spring break. It went great, lots of sharing and smiles to start the week. #iteachmath #teachertwitter

Last week's poll I asked students if they would rather take a time machine to the past or the future. I was struck by the issues around race and privilege embedded in the question. Multiple students of color brought up concerns about racism and inequality, choosing the future.

How does the rate of change of the name reader compare to the rate of change of photographer? The log jam behind the photographer holds the answer! "Why do you have to turn everything into a math problem?!" asks my daughter. Because #iteachmath #mtbos #graduation

@anya1anya I'll get it as soon as I can!

I continue to be amazed at the large number of students sending me emails and turning in random old assignments at 2 and 3 am. My inbox at 10 pm is much different from my inbox at 7 am. #teachinginapandemic #remotelearning #iteachmath

[MrRetanInMathland @retaneri]

So much email and google classroom. It is consuming me. It's like I'm running on a treadmill and it's getting faster and faster. I'm tired!

[MrRetanInMathland @retaneri]

#APStat lesson anyone? #mtbos #iteachmath I couldn't stop playing this game yesterday....

[The New York Times @nytimes]

It's easy to guess who someone with a “MAGA” hat or Biden-Harris tote voted for. But Cool Whip or loose eggs?

We wondered if it was possible to identify Trump and Biden voters based on what's in their refrigerators.

Wondering if anyone who uses Illustrative Math has developed standards-based assessments for Algebra 2? (Or any of the HS classes) Thanks in advance! #illustrativemath #mtbos #iteachmath

[MrRetanInMathland @retaneri]

Really loving teaching alg 2 with Illustrative Math this year. Never before have I encountered a curriculum that spent so much time thinking about what *quality* math instruction looks like. Thank you @IllustrateMath for your attention to detail & delivery #MTBoS #iteachmath

I swear our Google Home is jealous of our Alexa. Today I said, "Hey Google" then "oops, nevermind" and she said "Oh....alright" with a very slight attitude. She knows about Alexa, I'm sure of it.

@treverreeh Hadn't heard of Parlay. Just checked out, looks like it has potential to help with collaboration. Thanks!

[MrRetanInMathland @retaneri]

If we go in-person this fall, just thinking about how many of my go-to strategies for instruction will have to look different. Pair-share, stand-&-talk, speed dating...why are the best ways to collaborate & learn also best ways to spread covid-19?! #iteachmath #mtbos
