At Parent Night, I had families write encouraging notes for their students to read before their first math test.
This is a small gesture to build the home/school connection and remind kids that assessment is about growth, not just a grade. We’re all in their corner! @Ensworth
Reposting this for the beginning of the year. This is a great resource math teachers!
Update: "180 Days of Math Tasks" is my collection of curated math tasks from resources around the web - organized on a Google Slides deck. I just completed task #100 - so only 80 more to go! Thank you to all of these incredible math websites. Find it here: bit.ly/180daysmath
