White people, it’s not our place to judge legitimate reactions to racism. It’s our place to dismantle the racism that incites reaction.

Examining @nytimes graphs with my class will become even more relevant when remote instruction begins next week. I'm grateful to be able to begin the transition with a familiar routine. #maththatmatters #WGOITG #Algebra

Have your students analyze this #FlattenTheCurve graph. How can protective measures like social distancing affect how the coronavirus outbreak impacts our society? On March 25 @AmstatNews teachers will moderate student comments to push their thinking.

I am so excited to share our new interactive mindset guide https://t.co/p1JuG89ydA. Ideas on how to teach for a mathematical mindset culture, with each idea illustrated with a free teacher video. Click on the hexagons to see a video. What do you think youcubians?

A7: At one point, a colleague told me to find the questions that "stress you out" the most as a teacher, and use them as your wonderings. Not to add to everyday teacher stress, but to use the journey towards discovery to alleviate stress. :) #pkychat

[Taylor Bainter @taybainter]

A6: Honestly, if I get stuck writing my brief, I think about changing either how my question is phrased or the topic itself. In my experience, the best inquiry briefs flow from the beginning-- the question is substantial enough to fuel my passion for the topic. #pkychat

[Taylor Bainter @taybainter]

A5: I keep a running list every year of every topic that keeps me up at night and every thing within my own practice that I feel the need to vent to my colleagues about. Then I can narrow down which I want to tackle that year! #pkychat

[Taylor Bainter @taybainter]

A4: I don't think it's about explicitly pushing yourself out of your comfort zone. If you focus on finding a question relevant to your practice to enhance your student experiences in the classroom, you are pushed to find creative solutions outside of your comfort zone. #pkychat

[Taylor Bainter @taybainter]

A3: The BEST wonderings end up leading me to even more questions at the end! #pkychat

[Taylor Bainter @taybainter]

@NancyFDana Absolutely! The best inquiry leads to even more questions! :)

[Taylor Bainter @taybainter]

A2: It drives me to finish and find realistic answers even if they are different than originally anticipated. #pkychat

[Taylor Bainter @taybainter]

A2: Being passionate about my inquiry project motivates me to be as creative as possible when trying to find solutions. #pkychat

[Taylor Bainter @taybainter]

A1: A quality inquiry wondering makes me excited to dive in and answer it, and also can lead to bigger questions and answers. #pkychat
