When teaching math online, build understanding through showing and representing with #manipulatives rather than text. My favourite repository is from @JGTechieTeacher bit.ly/TechieTeacherMath #edtech #mtbos #VirtualLearning #TCDSBVSfam @rosemortillaro @msasilvestre
Found time during vacation to attend the @MathEdLeaders Affiliate Leaders Conference for the next two days. Lots of learning about resources, outreach and leadership to bring back to @OMCAmath. If you're in the #Orlando area, let me know!
Thanks for attending the session! Can't wait to see how these examples inspire your teachers to develop their own #MathematicalModeling inquiries. And the #CoffeeCrisp snack was appreciated! #OCanada #mtbos #iteachmath #NCTMCHI24
Lots of authentic examples of elementary math modeling with @GLewisOCT from Toronto! 🇨🇦 @NCTM #NCTMCHI24
I've learned so much from @edutopia articles in my career as an educator. I wanted to express my gratitude in person. Thank you for making professional development accessible for all teachers! #NCTMCHI24
Channeling the support (and expertise) of two Canadian pedagogues and mentors. Thanks @dr_costello @trev_mackenzie for the inspiration and drive to share #MathematicalModeling #inquirymath with others. #NCTMCHI24
Thanks @ddmeyer for reminding me about how the teacher's words "Let's Try It" shift the learning contract with students and teachers. Powerful mindset shift I'll use in my co-teaching and mentorship. #NCTMCHI24 #mtbos
First-time attendee and presenter at #NCTMCHI24 @NCTM. Already overwhelmed but excited to share my co-teaching story with #MathematicalModeling #inquiry #mtbos #iteachmath
I was part of the @SAME_OAME book study last year, and it was fantastic! Can't wait to join in again this year w/ @dr_costello
"How do you #CelebrateMath" @OMCAmath is looking for virtual guest speakers for our monthly meetings for #OntEd coaches and coordinators. DM me for info and apply before Sept 30! #mtbos #iteachmath
Looking specifically at @howie_hua @anniek_p @MathforLove @NatBanting @mathyawp @jennalaib @SteveWyborney 😎💪

BTC (& guided inquiry at large) in math IS, in fact, supported by cognitive science. Read my post to learn more:

“7 Moves for Effective Destreaming in Mathematics Classes”
Every K-12 math teacher in #onted & beyond that teaches in an inclusive setting will find something useful in this article.
Thanks to @LDatSchool for giving me space to share some ideas.

I would describe #CEMC2024 as a fun summer camp for math teachers! This year I presented on connecting #VirtualManipulatives to #OntEd 7/8 expectations: how tools in @Amplify #PolyPad @geogebra @PearsonK12 help support student thinking. @michele_mellow @te_bokkel @UWaterlooCEMC

As someone who spent a decade teaching and a decade as an administrator, I found the suggestions and tone of this piece reasonable and respectful of both teachers and leaders.

Researchers at MIT have questioned whether SMART goals (specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, time-bound) actually work. They suggest we might get better outcomes if we make our goals FAST (frequently discussed, ambitious, specific and transparent) not SMART.

We can't wait to host @ShelleyYearley and @taracflynn at our end-of-summer Mini-Conference on #RethinkingFractions! Registration is open for virtual and in-person learning. See the flyer below for more details! @OAMEcounts #iteachmath #math #MTBoS #onted
We are looking forward to our upcoming Summer NOMA mini-conference taking place on Aug. 26 in North Bay! We are welcoming @taracflynn and @ShelleyYearley to explore #RethinkingFractions. See the Conference Flyer for more details, including options for a virtual morning session!
Any friends in Cincinnati, Boston, Chicago, or Columbus want to hang out? I'll be in those cities before the end of the year, and would love to connect with anyone who's available! #mtbos #iteachmath #summervacay #NCTM #OCTM

Ask your students for feedback. My students have provided transformational feedback that has helped me become a better teacher for them #MathPlay🧮 #ITeachMath #MTBoS #EdChat
