So I'm like why you be talking about all this jazzy fancy stuff that you read about somewhere when you've got 70% of kids who go through an entire day without participating in class questioning?

Does anyone have a good resource for finding high-quality assessment questions? Specifically for Algebra 1. #iteachmath #MTBoS

Love this perspective! And also, a good reminder: riseoverrunblog.wordpress.co…
I anticipate my feed will be flooded with math teachers taking selfies with @pgliljedahl at #BTCC23 over the next couple of days.
I don't mind.
To me, each selfie represents a teacher who's transforming the way they think about teaching and learning.
Thanks, Peter.

Does anyone have a really good Algebra 1 curriculum they would recommend? Ideally something that uses tasks and encourages problem solving! #iteachmath #mtbos

I updated my Like Terms Search for our unit on simplifying expressions with square roots. Maybe you can use it too? #iteachmath #mtbos dropbox.com/s/p8ixduvyj0xkeg…

I love the suggestions in this article! I’m rewriting my survey now to include my answers for each question. “I use she/her pronouns. What pronouns do you use?” Such a simple shift that changes the nature of the survey! 👏🏼 #iteachmath #mtbos

Really interesting connections to the classroom in this conversation. Sheds light on why Vertical surfaces might be better than desks - around 31:30) (a la @pgliljedahl) #ThinkingClassroom #mtbos #iteachmath open.spotify.com/episode/3a2…
I just finished @pgliljedahl’s Building Thinking Classrooms. Hands-down one of the best teaching books I’ve read! I’m thinking through how to implement practice 14. Anyone in the same boat? #thinkingclassroom #mtbos #iteachmath

Here are my questions: if a student doesn’t attain the basic level, they will get a 0? Won’t this distort the grade? Also, if they can only achieve at a basic level for each sub-skill, that would be a 50% - which is failing.

Here's a visual for my negative times a negative pattern. Can someone with a fuller math background verify this makes sense (@howie_hua 👋) The fact that I'm 37 yo + have been teaching for 10 yrs but just realized this is proof that math is a growth subject! #mtbos #iteachmath

Can we say multiplying by a negative is repeated subtraction? That would make explaining “a negative times a negative” much easier to visualize (repeatedly subtracting a negative results in addition) #iteachmath #mtbos

Does anyone have good resources on UDL in the math classroom (articles, books, websites, podcasts)? #iteachmath #mtbos #UDLchat
