If Twitter shuts down, you can contact me by going to a darkened bathroom saying "I'm not a math person" three times in front of a mirror and I'll appear to convince you otherwise.

Grade 5 mathematicians @connectcharter kicked off the school year with the 100#s task to encourage talking in math and to norm what "good" group work looks like, sounds like, and feels like- thank you @saravdwerf! Students were so engaged. Our mathematical classroom came alive!

With your child view the photo and ask “What number do you see?" "Where do you see the number five?" "Where else can you find the number 5?"

🤔 How do you talk about models vs. strategies in your math classroom? 🌟 Our language around these concepts really matters for students!➡️Got some great inspiration for this post from the works of @Dr_John_4_Math @pwharris (links/more in comments) #math4all #iteachmath #mtbos

Wow. This is a 3rd grade class engaging in many standards across grades 3-5. The standards are the floor, not the ceiling. Also, this is ONE problem. We can do so much with one well-crafted problem.

Use of #maths #mindset self #assessment adapted from @joboaler & @youcubed (thank you- valuable tool!), combined w @ProjectZeroHGSE routine for further depth. Nxt step- setting maths mindset AND maths understanding/content goal. Interesting insight from questions about mindset!

#mtbos help me! I used to have a template for doing walk-throughs with administration that focused on academic safety (who was doing the talking, what kinds of questions were being asked, etc.) But the link I have is now broken and I can't remember where I found it! Anyone know?

@geoffkrall was it possibly a resource from you?

#mtbos I need your help! I remember hearing at some point that it is better to write fractions with a horizontal line rather than a slash. But I can't remember the rationale for this thinking. Can someone please explain it to me? @ekazemi ? @TracyZager ? What do you think?

Showing our strategies to our first 3-Act task “Wheels up” from @gfletchy and @TracyZager ! Students were making some great connections between strategies and learned that problems can be solved in different ways. #islconnects #Grade3 #Maths

Unpacking my new #BuildingFactFluency kit for mult/div! It's hard to pick what I love most about this brilliant resource, but it probably has to be all the built-in PD from @TracyZager and @gfletchy. It makes me feel like our building just got the best new math coaches!!!!

I 💚 this one; so simple yet so rich. The children always amaze me w/ how many patterns they notice. Today's big mystery was: "Why are all the 'circle' numbers odd, but not all the odd numbers 'circular'?" Many ss asked to take a copy home to explore it further! #wim2021
