My 3U s are having challenges with stretching & compression factors, partly due to number sense misconceptions, so we are doing Number Talks...and they are loving them!
Amazing to see their reactions and quick growth.
I so wish we did them K to 10 consistently

This is the translation of a letter from a student in Mexico about returning to the classroom. Shared with me by my dear Jorge Garcia. Talk about perspective!

So cool to see @TimGeoGebra teaching GeoGebra. Thanks @wheeler_laura for organizing and @cbrownLmath for today's session #ggbchat. Looking forward to Wednesday.
Now I need a break!

2 questions about feedback to students via AB @Desmos :
1. Will earlier activities created by desmos will be "retrofitted"?
2. Can I edit my earlier activities to include feedback?
Gracias @mrchowmath #iteachmath @MaryBourassa #MTBoS @jreulbach
AB Moving Dot. With the help of @mrchowmath @Desmos I was able to refine this activity. It is awesome to work with Jay, like watching magic.#iteachmath #MTBoS #MHF4U

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
So happy about this!
Thank you Desmos.
Tonight, we're rolling out a beta version of our distance teachers' #1 request:
✨ WRITTEN ✨ FEEDBACK ✨ IN ✨ ACTIVITIES ✨
Turn it on at teacher.desmos.com/labs.
And see how it works right here. 👇

This quotation is hitting hard today, not only because of my own experiences in #HigherEd but also because of what’s going on in ON. My sister and her #etfo colleagues are picketing in a blizzard today, standing up for students, to get the gov’t to support the work they do.

This is good news for anyone considering evaluations using dynamic geometric software.
#GeoGebra Graphing Calculator is now fully compatible for high-stakes exams, as all geometric construction features have been removed: geogebra.org/graphing. It can easily be locked down to student devices on all platforms to provide a safe & secure testing environment!

Thanksto Matt @math_henry123 for one of the most valuable, informative, inspirational and well prepared sessions. We need to move in this direction.
