Just spotted the "Switch Dashboard" feature! Endless gratitude to @Desmos who consistently solicits, listens to, and acts on teacher feedback/requests. Y'all are the realest💕

I've always justified zero and negative exponents using number patterns. This year, I'll incorporate a Visual Pattern with help from the @MathigonOrg Polypad!

👋 WODB-heads – we asked >500 students:

Which of these shapes doesn't belong?

One shape was selected by 0 students! Everyone said it belonged. 🤯

Which one and why?

[Robert Kaplinsky @robertkaplinsky]

I used to think that courageous and fearless were interchangeable. They're not and I unpack the meaningful difference in this really short blog post.

Math isn't just about right answers. But when we focus on the process, the right answer comes naturally @pwharris #NCTMInnov8 #mathedswag

A6: Our goal should be to convince Ss that they have ideas about every problem. That's new to most! (Hint: Use #NoticeWonder) #MTchat

[Anna McAllister @rolfanna37]

A6 Focus on increasing student effort in class, tell students we all learn from hearing each other ideas no matter what they are #MTchat

[Anna McAllister @rolfanna37]

@ilyublin Great idea. Often have to tell cashiers the total doesn't look right and explain..Students should practice! #MTchat

[Anna McAllister @rolfanna37]

A5 I've liked large classes that used I-Clickers to get student opinions, then the teacher calls on students to share why #MTchat
