We shouldn't be trying to remove struggle from math. We should be adding it back in--and without the performance adjective of "productive".
Mathematics is not a a chore or a project.
Mathematics is a lifetime devotion to beauty.
We teach the skeleton of math; not the soul.
Summer is almost over & I am excited to announce that we will be joining the @WorcesterAcdmy family! I will be teaching Grade 8 math and be a dorm parent!
Any advice on teaching Geometry or boarding school would be appreciated!

A myth about #StudentAgency is that Ss are completing all their work by themselves on whatever topic they want and it is complete chaos in the classroom.

My best advice for tough conversations came from my mentor teacher, Melinda. Give "oxygen." The other person wants to feel like they have been heard and understood. Let them have that space and voice. #tlap
Need help - We are still #distancelearning and using @Zoom. When I go into a breakout room, I can't chat with other students, not in the break-out room.
Has anyone found a solution to quickly answer student questions while in breakout rooms?

What are your feelings on calculators? It is a constant conversation in our math department and I am curious what others are doing.

Unfortunately, life doesn't always go as planned.
@heyheyman and I have decided to end our four year journey in the Philippines and head back to the US.
We aren't sure exactly where we are going yet but we know there is a great adventure waiting for us!
I feel so helpless right now. Like hi Iβm your stupid math teacher & I want to help you but I canβt really do much besides teach you math but not very well bc itβs on Zoom & everyone is really tired & really sad & I have so much love to give but I donβt know what to do with it.
