As a career changer, I love that I teach classes like Data Science and Financial Algebra that I know students will use later in life.
Exciting to see @dlorah314 lead the change in HS maths @SimiValleyUSD through @joboaler 's Data Science curriculum. Ss collected data from their lives and represented it creatively. See S work & Rs to my Q," Thoughts about this activity?" #21stCenturyMaths #iteachmath #mtbos

@Verizon Please support teachers and students. Remind is a critical tool to keep families informed. #ReverseTheFee

Email from parent today: her daughter "said she had the best math class ever". Thanks @joboaler for giving us tools to transform math learning. …bhi61nm2cr3mkdgk1dtaov18-wpe…

As I seek to grow my library of engaging problems, I'm thankful for twitter and all these wonderful resources. teapaw.org/cindyweitzman/status/9…
Curate engaging problems at the appropriate level, provide time and space, and get out of the way! Thanks @MathforLove @brilliantorg @nrichmaths @YouCubedOrg @fawnpnguyen @GlobalMathProj With ❤ from San Francisco, CA to Totonicapán, Guatemala (problems projected via zoom).
As I moved from middle to high school, I've not had to do bulletin boards, but I think there is value having thought provoking content on display. teapaw.org/Mcoaty/status/99348171…

I'm loving patterns for seeing representations in new ways and making algebra more visual. I'm excited to think through this one a bit more. teapaw.org/fawnpnguyen/status/100…
This is my NEW FAVORITE PATTERN from @eappleton ! So glad Eric didn't send me the equation (inadvertently or not) so I had to work on it. It's lovely, and it's another reason to NOT use the table of values bc if I did, the fun and beauty would be completely lost.

I think many teachers realize we need to do something differently to improve student achievement, but that is easier said than done. teapaw.org/tangentz1/status/10120…
Another tool to add to my summer exploration #polyup teapaw.org/joboaler/status/100476…
Visual maths in students hands - Polyup is cool and free! teapaw.org/PolyupInc/status/10047…

Great math problems don't fit tidily in a 50 minute class period. teapaw.org/alainavasta/status/101…
So many tech options to support learning that it becomes overwhelming. GeoGebra is something I've wanted to explore, perhaps now is the time. teapaw.org/MT_at_NCTM/status/1012…

Tech can't replace great teaching. Thank you Desmos for a teacher guide to help our students get the most out of this awesome tool. teapaw.org/ElaineRustand/status/1…
Desmos activities are not just "push a button and let kids go" lessons. These are thoughtful experiences that a teacher must prepare to use. Teacher guide and teacher tips are excellent prep materials- also practice as if you are a student. @aprilpfortsiowa #iowamath #iadesmos
While I love the flexibility I get in the summer and a chance to rejuvenate, getting "summer's off" is not how I would describe teaching. teapaw.org/TweetsByATeach/status/…
Retweet this if you’re a teacher working on school-related things (lesson planning, classroom set-up, summer school, professional development, etc.) over “summer break”. + Like this if you’re doing these things without getting paid. Trying to prove some points.

Who knew school on Saturday could be both fun and inspiring? Thanks @CoriOrlando1 @edcampOSjr @mathkaveli #saturdayteachers teapaw.org/AyeLilLass/status/9978…

A5: I hate to be negative here, but I really wish parents knew how distracting cell phones are for their kids in class, especially when parents are the ones texting them. #ditchbook

A4: I agree remind is awesome! Parents opt in for daily updates. I only send out mass emails to all parents before big tests or for special events. #ditchbook

A3: For pi day, I invited parents to donate pi(e)s. I was stunned by the tremendous response. I think high school parents and those working liked feeling they could support in some way. Make it easy for them. #ditchbook
