-Overall Class Insights✔️
Join us this Wednesday for the webinar “Surfacing Math Thinking with Desmos Notebook” hosted by Dewey Gottlieb.
We'll use Notebook to create dynamic geometric visualizations that can help students make connections between algebraic, tabular, and graphic representations. #mathsky #iteachmath
Well done Jennifer Jacobs! Nice proportional reasoning!

The whole game in algebra is isolating the variable. Whatever is happening to x, undo it with the opposite operation, in the opposite order it was applied. Once that clicks, most equations stop feeling like a trick.

Math Game Monday: Power Up - This game gives students a fun reason to think about calculating with exponents.
Surveyor's Tradition Problems.
Q1&2 are similar, Q3&4 are similar, etc, etc.
Always a risk writing resources when you're no longer in the classroom to experience the outcome (be it glory or mayhem) ... but hopefully this is of use or of interest to some.

Start your week with this #yohaku. Fill in cells with 9 different factors of 240 to get totals shown in each row/column. #mathsky #iTeachMath
Since I dusted off my social tonight, I wonder if anyone around here likes to think about student work in math like we used to via #mtbos and #iteachmath on the bird app? If anyone's up for it, I would LOVE to know what questions you might ask these two different students. Both new 5th graders.

This is also one of my favorite strategies! I ask "what if?" after we've done an example ...
