Math world… In my class we are looking at factoring. What sort of feedback would you give to this student? Many definitions of factoring refer to “expressing the polynomial as a product of two or more factors.” Have they done that? #mathchat #iteachmath

Setting up my Middle School Mathematics classroom. Would love for anyone to share some great diversity/equity/inclusion/justice posters and resources to help me out! Preferably relevant to math, but happy for anything!

Happy Pi day everyone! Enjoying a chicken pot pi(e) tonight. #3/14 #PieDay

@infinite8math Starting the winter break off in the mathematician’s “domain” in Vienna at the ISMTF Junior Competition! #mslearns @ISB_MS

Overheard another teacher leaving his cohort session: “That was mental gymnastics in there... and I like gymnastics!” I hear ya! ‘Stretching’ our views and philosophies at #KSI19 #mslearns

Day 2 at KSI: Growth mindset and the challenges of assessment and homework in math. We talked about frustrations in teaching math and what we would like the subject to be. Well, what’s stopping us? We tell our students to not fear failure, but do we model that? #mslearns #KSI19

Day 1 of KSI is wrapping up! The day involved a lot of conversations about mathematics, diversity and equity, and we finished the day learning about the research on how students learn. Now, time for some reading and some rest! #mslearns #ksi19

Showing appreciation to our excellent driver for the week! Thanks Ferdinand for writing and delivering the speech! #MSlearns #Alsace2019

Grade 7s hike around the Vosges and learn to use a compass navigate with a map. Some lovely lookout points along the way! #MSLearns #Alsace2019 #FutureIA

How much has mathematics changed since 1945? #MSlearns #Alsace2019

A little rain isn’t going to stop us! Taking some time to explore the European Institutes! #mslearns #Alsace2019

Success is opening doors for students to find areas of strength, struggle, and passion. #ISBLbd

Power in Numbers! ISMTF Junior Competition Team Rounds are well underway! The focus has “shifted” to collaboration and communication! #mslearns @ISB_MS @IntSchBrussels @infinite8math

ISMTF 2019 Junior Competition in Vienna is on!! Our 6 students got a good night’s sleep last night to ensure they can “function” well this morning! #mslearns @ISB_MS @IntSchBrussels @infinite8math

A3: Move away from assessing a checklist of skills and toward an assessment where students make connections between content areas and apply their learning to something bigger than the classroom. #ISBLbd

Families that Math together, laugh together. Successful Family Math Night 2018! #mslearns #livelaughmath @ISB_MS

Using math to ‘track’ our fitness growth. Get ready @ISB_MS students for a great year! @IntSchBrussels #mslearns

Exploring the link between mathematics and art! Great hand dance from E block today! #mslearns @ISB_MS
