The conversations we’re having now about school — connections over content, closing equity gaps, deepened family involvement — are the conversations we’ve always needed to have.

THIS should be education from here on.

4 Things to do Instead of Complain:
1) Work hard
2) Show gratitude
3) Read professional books and articles
4) Celebrate the success of other teachers

@KentHaines Check out https://t.co/cmaKwJLxE1 the puzzles are non-traditional, they are more like #games in fact, extremely engaging and organized by topic and grade level.

#Coplanar, the #math diagrams app, was made available for FREE yesterday and received more downloads in a day than the last four months! Coplanar by Solutions for X LLC https://t.co/PAqHuSmqn2

The only problem with this is the first two lines. We can strive to be student-centered even in how we give directions.

[TeacherGoals @teachergoals]

*Teacher thoroughly explains directions

*Teacher models expectations

Teacher: Any questions?

Students: No.

Teacher: You sure??

*No one raises hand

Teacher: Ok. Get started.

*Students within 3 minutes:

After teaching for ten years, I thought I had heard every cheesy math joke, but this was new for me.

Hey #mtbos
Help me out
Where is there some solid research in favor of reassessments / retakes / etc.
Is there solid conversation about whether grades along the way on the journey should ever be part of the final evaluation. I am hoping to generate a meaningful convo in my dept.

Teacher confession: I’ve been feeling very off today. One of those days where I’m questioning everything we’ve done in class and whether or not it’s making sense or has been valuable. Suggestions for when you’re stuck like this? #teacherproblems

@LV_sanfilippo @iteachmathAll @NissaniMath doesn't teach anymore, but he has been in that situation. He might have an idea.

An illustration of Viviani's theorem, the distances from the sides of an equilateral triangle to an interior point sum to the length of the altitude: #geometry #iteachmath #mtbos #Coplanar https://t.co/PAqHuSmqn2

@MissGeorge124 I'm not sure what this is, but in my imagination, there is a transversal of two parallel lines drawn on the floor and a recording is playing "CORRESPONDING! ALTERNATE- INTERIOR..." to a beat and students gather to watch the "player" stomp on the various angles.

Here is a trinket I found that is actually a #puzzle. This is a calendar. The twelve combined faces can display every date from 01 to 31, yet two of the faces are '0'. Are there really enough faces? How? #mtbos #Mathematics
