Incredibly proud of my little sister's contribution to this work!

This session was such a #vibe. Thank you for the math friendship bracelet and the #maththerapy @OAMEcounts @OAMElearns

Happy #EarthDay! More than 2000 years ago, the Greek mathematician Eratosthenes found a way to measure the radius of Earth just using shadows, angles, and simple geometry. Learn more at https://t.co/eXCWnJgq9B

Differentiate like a pro! 🚀 This graphic breaks down 4 key ways to tailor instruction: Content, Process, Product, and Environment. Consider these elements to meet diverse learner needs. #Differentiation #EdTech #InstructionalStrategies #UDL https://t.co/IEG24uDQG6

Here is another Guess Y for you. I’m including a couple of versions of the same context. How many different potential responses can we find for what the Y axis might be? #math #teachers #data

I developed a new math talk routine I’m calling Guess Y? I’d love some feedback. Check out the image and let me know what you think the Y axis could be. #math #teaching #graphs

UGDSB Skills competition well on its way yesterday @uofg This is what engaged students can sound like and look like!

What’s the pattern? Exploring #mathplay @OMCAmath conference with @MrValencia24

Came across this visual while going through some old files and thought it is a pretty cool visual continuum. I especially like how it shows the array being used across grade bands. #iteachmath

Building teacher capacity with #manipulatives so they can foster a #conceptualunderstanding of #numbers, #operations and #proportion in #Mathematics @ugdsb @UGDSBProgram

Thankful to have had the opportunity to attend #SERCC last week. The conversation/study around #groupmetacognition @OISEUofT in grade 9 #destreamedmath stuck with me. Great strategy with beneficial results to support #matheducation @ugdsb

The Ancient Egyptians used symbols to write only unit fractions. For other fractions, they had to find the sum of the unit fractions. For example, 5/6 = 1/2 + 1/3. Can all fractions be represented as the sum of unit fractions? Learn more at https://t.co/1VXMCIIBQn

Reflecting on our learning this past week and when we experienced #joy in #mathematics as an #educator & a #learner - let’s aim to replicate those moments of joy for our students ❤️@ugdsb @UGDSBProgram

Educators engaging in a modified version of the chicken & cow task from @pgliljedahl & #BTC using #VNPS Amazing to see how different educators entered the problem and where they took it @ugdsb #engagementiskey #sparkjoyofmath

💡Fraction Tiles provide a great visual for determining a common denominator! 💥Check out Share Code 5LPTFV6U to practice with your students

Start with 100 dice. Roll them and remove all the sixes. Repeat until there are 25 or less dice left. How many rounds will this take? Learn more about exploring this idea with students in this Polypad Pointer video: https://t.co/7DHEIBj0fU

I decided to put a seasonal twist on a classic chess puzzle to make a new Halloween Puzzle for my students to tackle as one of this week's puzzles. Can you solve the 8 Bats Puzzle? https://t.co/8yLoAFKARf #mtbos #iteachmath #puzzlingclassroom

Handed back assessments, framing them as snapshots of learning, not grades. We’ve discussed intelligent vs. basic failure & the ‘learning pit’—Level 1 means you’re deep in new learning. Does anyone else use this approach? Thoughts on student reactions? #mtbos #iteachmath

Seeing a lot of schools mandating retrieval practice in every lesson but also seeing quite a few misconceptions. A quick thread: 10 ways to get retrieval practice wrong ⬇️ 🧵

Provide students with windows and mirrors in your programming. Windows to look through and see other perspectives and mirrors to reflect who they are. Students need time to do this identity work in the #mathematics classroom - so vital to #CRRP #OAME2024 @OAMElearns
