When teaching math online, build understanding through showing and representing with #manipulatives rather than text. My favourite repository is from @JGTechieTeacher

Thanks for attending the session! Can't wait to see how these examples inspire your teachers to develop their own #MathematicalModeling inquiries. And the #CoffeeCrisp snack was appreciated! #OCanada #mtbos #iteachmath #NCTMCHI24
Lots of authentic examples of elementary math modeling with @GLewisOCT from Toronto! 🇨🇦 @NCTM #NCTMCHI24

Thanks @ddmeyer for reminding me about how the teacher's words "Let's Try It" shift the learning contract with students and teachers. Powerful mindset shift I'll use in my co-teaching and mentorship. #NCTMCHI24 #mtbos

I would describe #CEMC2024 as a fun summer camp for math teachers! This year I presented on connecting #VirtualManipulatives to #OntEd 7/8 expectations: how tools in @Amplify #PolyPad @geogebra @PearsonK12 help support student thinking. @michele_mellow @te_bokkel @UWaterlooCEMC

As someone who spent a decade teaching and a decade as an administrator, I found the suggestions and tone of this piece reasonable and respectful of both teachers and leaders. https://t.co/eFlvdIYdCw via @tatertutt @edutopia

By listening to educators and building supports that reflect their genuine needs and concerns, these leaders are shifting school cultures in ways that go beyond lip service.
