Thanks to @joboaler and the @youcubed team I was able to help a student when she tried to hide using her fingers to think through a problem. Had a great moment discussing why it was a valid method!

“Hm, maybe a lower outlier will change it more. Let’s try it.” While waiting with anticipation for the HS curriculum from @openupresources, we are enjoying the sample unit of statistics! My @STEMPREP scholars love digging into these tasks! #CurriculumMatters #MTBoS #OpenUpMath

My students at @STEMPREP are researching their dream colleges today! We have a lot of @MTSU and @UTKnoxville hopefuls in this class.
I’m not crying- you’re crying! ❤️😭
Congratulations to @EastEndPrep kindergarten teacher Shelly Gaughan, who was just recognized with a prestigious @Milken Educator Award. Our @MetroSchools teachers do incredible work every day — it’s great to see that the word’s getting out.
