My freshman noticed two ways to see this pattern growing, and both equations gave us 30,800 blocks in step 99. This was a great pattern to facilitate making viable arguments and using structure to solve problems.

Do you know a LGBTQ+ high school student with an interest in math? Send them this tweet ASAP so they can apply for our virtual "Camp” of Mathematical Queeries today. Applications are due tomorrow, and applying only takes 10 minutes. bit.ly/3olpHQV

Posed some questions about Cuisenaire rods today and some interesting discussions took place ☺️

One of the unintended outcomes of @pgliljedahl #thinkingclassroom is students suggesting how we could rearrange the classroom to better fit the activity. They went to work rearranging tables and it was cool to see them take ownership of the space & make it work for them 💛

I am so darn proud of my students today. They used @fawnpnguyen visual patterns to show similarities and differences between linear and quadratic relationships 🤯

From one of my juniors today: “I never expected a math final to be fun but I actually did so much thinking today” 🥹🥹🥹

Anyone have a good visual or animation for why factoring quadratics by grouping works? #MTBoS #math #mathed

@robertkaplinsky @openmiddle Not necessarily my favorite reason, but I do tend to challenge the questions I’m giving students by asking myself “is this google-able” and Open Middle always passes that test.

I could have swore someone shared a self-checking #desmos activity for the 4 4’s task, but I’ve searched my bookmarks with no luck. Anyone have it accessible? #MTBoS #math

@CarlaAmplify I didn’t use a pre-built activity, in activity builder you can add a polypad. Then students clicked “algebra” and “algebra tiles” from the menu. So I displayed expressions and they created them on their screens.

It’s a minimum day so I planned relaxation stations. My sophomores were so hooked on yesterdays problem they wanted to go to their whiteboards instead 🥲🥹

@CherishToday08 I’ve tried so many different brands and this one does not bother my asthma or the students’. The plug also lets you control the output, so the lightest setting is perfect.

Bought new loafers I thought were really cute and my students were quick to roast me. “Ms. Carter why you in your church shoes?” 😂💀

@flyingmonkey13 I wish that walk throughs and observations were treated as collaboration. That it felt safe and a place to try new things and grow. Often it feels punitive and like a trap. I don’t want to pull out a special lesson I want helpful feedback on the everyday stuff
