Completed another exponential activity. In true @desmos fashion I included some turtles. @AlgebraDesmos #iteachmath #mtbos #improvemyAB

Just updated my Function (or Not) Puzzle with links to a Google Slides version and a Jamboard version.
Challenge 1: Place the numbers to make 3 FUNCTIONS.
Challenge 2: Place the numbers to make 3 NON-FUNCTIONS.

I can't imagine a better asynchronous math activity than this.
It's the classic "Four Fours" task, now in @Desmos w/
👉 Student avatars.
👉 Answer recording.
👉 Classroom leaderboard.
Awesome work from @KenClarkson3. #iteachmath

In Balance the Scale, students will use scientific notation to figure out questions like ...
... how many jellybeans will balance an Egyptian pyramid?

So much more interesting than your normal missing angle task. #mtbos #iteachmath

Check out this lesson that combines healthy eating with combining like terms and solving one and two-step equations. bit.ly/2fmE9DT #MTBoS #iteachmath

We hope you had a great time, and we would love to know if you did!
We’d also love to know if there was something that could’ve been better for you, or if something wasn’t quite right.
Please provide feedback on this year’s conference here:

"It's not uncommon for students to graduate from high school believing that every math problem can be solved in 30 seconds or less. And if they don't know the answer, they're just not a math person," said @MathforLove #edchat #mathchat #mtbos kqed.org/mindshift/53404/why…

Last year I saw another educator design a video similar to this. I just recreated it digitally. I think this could be a powerful way to show the angle relationships with parallel lines cut by a transversal. #iteachmath #MSmathChat #mtbos 🧠💚

I don't trust your ideas about teaching if they depend on knowledge being "basic" or not.
👉 "Students need to know the basics and THEN we'll let them do interesting stuff."
All knowledge seems basic after you know it. All the stuff should be interesting.

The standard I hold for all math classes and instructors is to include this statement in your syllabus AND actually live up to It. There’s more than one way to be a math doer and perfectionism isn’t one. #MathForAll #Respect ift.tt/2ZC4WD7

In case you love @desmos like I do, and didn’t know about this one huge list of all the amazing #retrodesmos activities... here it is!! I had been finding them one at a time and this is so much easier!!! retrodesmos.com/ #ITeachMath #AlgebraIsAwesome

Have you ever called on students to ask them for an answer or explanation and gotten the feeling that they were just repeating what the earlier students had said? This video and blog post might explain the psychology of why that happens: robertkaplinsky.com/psycholo… #MTBoS #iteachmath

Never let your students forget that loads of math is just noticing stuff and making up names for it. #iteachmath xitter.cf/fermatslibrary/status/…
