Fired up for today’s Secondary Math Framework meeting. We’re diving into RBIS 2–4, pushing thinking, and shaping what math learning will look like for our students. This team is built for big work and I know it’s going to be a great day! #SecCI

Today we used @formative to order real numbers & approximate square roots. Being able to see my students data in real time and provide interventions on the spot as they work through their independent practice is such a game changer.
