Things got 🌶️🔥 during this review! Ss solved mild, medium & hot leveled questions and if correct, covered up squares. Did you tackle the hot ones 🥵? Earned more spaces to cover! 😈Best part? Once the board fills, they could erase another team's. #RISDDreamOn @RISDmath

With Freeform, Ss can use Scenes for each problem, access colors for steps, & I can project their work for others. 🌟BONUS? For math, the infinite thinking canvas is huge. Infinite space + @formative instant feedback makes these days some of my favorite. #RISDDreamOn #AppleEDU

Love that our @RichardsonHS1 math Ss can investigate in Desmos while accessing their color-coded notes in @NotabilityApp! Ss can see their vocab come to life & choose how they want to connect concepts. 🤩My fav? Use the Tape feature as a study tool! #RISDDreamOn #AlwaysAnEagle

Dual Credit students at @RichardsonHS1 got to dive into arc length! We started in Freeform comparing paths then used Apple Classroom to view everyone's ideas together, explored copper wires in an "arc" reactor, & worked problems at our vertical surfaces. #AppleEDU #RISDDreamOn

Twas the night before 1st Grade 🥲 Thank you @BowieMustangs for the little things like a personal bedtime story. Scanned a code from our "Meet the Teacher" and got to listen to the sweetest book. We are ready for tomorrow! #RISDDreamOn #RISDBeTheOne

These would be a great warm up! It would be fun to collect them in a @CanvaEdu Whiteboard and use the instant sort to see trends across the responses. Each student could post a green sticky for what they see the same and a red sticky for what they see different.
Have you seen samedifferentimages.wordpres… from Brian Bushart? Same or Different? is a routine that provides students opportunities to construct arguments when comparing objects, such as numbers or shapes.

When you model in math, you HAVE to bring 🍬candy! After @rwestjh explored a modeling @GetSchoolAI Space, Ss measured height & span for linear, linked cubes for quadratics, & watched their Skittles "decay". Ss shared their analysis in an @AppleEDU Keynote workbook. #AppleEDU

🤔🌎"Why does this matter?" "Where would I see this?" Ss in Alg2 partnered to interview career fields that use rational equations w @GetSchoolAI and shared out in a collaborative @CanvaEdu Whiteboard (💕Sort feature). #RISDDreamBig Shuffle cards for roles & watch them go!🙌
