I twitter to haphazardly develop my middle school teaching skills and nerdily read math teachers witty banter between each other. From this, I will grow.
Please play if you'd like! This is mental math. To not spoil your fun, please don't look at the responses until after you're done.

Found this great student navigation tool from @andburnett123 for grade 7. (Inspired by @pgliljedahl 's book) https://t.co/bvplOtQklp
Has anyone else done with for other grades so I may just steal from you? Thank you!
I just added 3 more patterns and will continue to as time permits. Here's the new link bc I think if I force you to "copy" then you won't see updates.

It's almost February which means it's time to start planning for Twosday! (Tuesday 2/22/22)
After seeing lots of math teachers on facebook asking for ideas about how to celebrate this holiday, I put together this Twosday Challenge.

This video from @gfletchy explains multiplication from 2nd to 5th grades and applies to middle and high school teachers too (think: distributive property, polynomial multiplication, etc.). https://t.co/NUtLiZPaTV #MTBoS#iteachmath
When I see a leader sink into battle mode with those they lead - exerting office over earning influence, resorting to anger instead of curiosity, setting fixed outcomes (or else) - I always wonder about the mentorship they received in the formative stages of their career.
I love these great questions from @TracyZager that encourage math students to use their intuition. https://t.co/SKY6JK12s5. You can get her full book here: https://t.co/yoPQ2Mj4yS #becomingmath#MTBoS#iteachmath
For revisions, students use the sentence frame "At first I thought...but now I think..." and then do the problem again. Framing our reflection this way might help show that it's okay to change our mind based on new information.
Blogging about these lovely quadratic area puzzles (free download from Chritsopher on TES - download link in post) so I don't forget to actually use them next year! They are inspired by Naoki Inaba's area maze puzzles.
