It makes Algebra 1 easy to teach multiplying binomials. I show them a reminder from elementary school and then put up a problem from Algebra 1 and they figure it out without direct instruction.
12-year-old Nigerian boy based in the UK, Chika Ofili, has been presented with a Special Recognition Award for making a new discovery in Mathematics.
The little Mathematician just discovered a new formula for divisibility by 7 in Maths.
Teaching is hard.
Especially when several students actively hate math. Working to flip them Into math lovers. I feel the effects of tracking. #MTBoS#iteachmath
When the "Regular" track for math becomes the "Low" track, who is being best served?
If 75% of Ss are in "Advanced" math classes, is it possible to create equity in education?
What chance do the 25% have if there are no S role models left in the room?

Round 2: Centers in Geometry
Triangle Congruence and Intro to Proof - solve for angle measure puzzle, @desmos AB, & #proofblocks.
Thank you #MTBoS for all the resource sharing. Students were so engaged and I could work with the same groups as they created proofs.

I've made @openmiddle problem matrices for 3rd grade to Algebra 2 to show how a single problem can replace an entire worksheet. This blog highlights the 8th grade #DOK matrix but has a button to download EVERY grade level right now. robertkaplinsky.com/depth-of…#iteachmath#MTBoS
#mtbos, does anyone embed honors into general classes? Meaning that everyone has the option to do Honors work (and then get the Honors designation on transcript) If so, how do you structure it?
I am transitioning to Standards Based Grading. Many of my struggling students have stopped doing the practice (not graded, not worth it) which they start in class and finish at home. Tying practice to retakes. Waiting for attitude shift but this is hard. Any advice?

I used centers for the first time today in my Geometry class. Lots of room for improvement but the students were engaged and told me it was fun. So, #MTBoS any tips for making centers run smoothly?
To avoid looking completely utterly out of touch w/ the reality our prison system:
Instead of asking, “Should the Boston Bomber have the right to vote?”
Try, “Should a nonviolent person stopped w/ a dime bag LOSE the right to vote?”
Bc that question reflects WAY more people.
