A warmup question with four questions about slope and average rate of change.

A warm-up question with two different simplifying fractions questions. One "mild" and one "spicy" (a compound fraction).

Students sketch three different functions each is discontinuous at x = 1 but each has a different type of discontinuity.

A few warm-up questions from this week in my high school Calculus class. I start each day with a question. Sometimes for review/retrieval, sometimes to launch the day's discussion and sometimes for practice/consolidation. #ITeachMath #MathsToday

framework for planning: what? so what? now what? in a cycle

Love seeing @jennalaib.bsky.social using this framework. I learned from @deltadc.bsky.social . Often ask learners to pick one to consolidate thinking. Applying to planning is great. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dH7...

I created a Google Sheets template to play Connect Four.
It allows you to create quiz cards and students earn their next move by answering the question.

School leaders, give your people time to just do math together. I promise it's SO worth it.

a man in a suit and tie is asking if he has something for me ALT: a man in a suit and tie is asking if he has something for me

Hi everyone! It’s been a minute.

Need your help with high school math sequences. Anyone whose school changed from an alg1/geo/alg2 sequence to alg1/alg2/geo??

Or have read research on the topic.

I see what you did there.

We no longer have funds for conferences. I think it is so important to have those connections and learning with teachers from other states and countries.

Shelli was a guiding light for me during virtual COVID learning. Her Saturday Zooms helped keep my sanity. I was always inspired by her continuous learning. Such a loss. May she rest in peace. Her legacy lives on.

Missing all of the interaction I used to have with my mtbos/i teach math connections.

I hope all of you have a great 25-26 school year. πŸ“šβœοΈ May you be able to teach the way you know is best for your students. Please take care of yourself and continue the good work!
