PROOF POINTS: Many high school students have unique retention & understanding of math concepts, so math teachers cobble together their own instructional materials to better meet the needs of their students instead of using a one-sized-fits-none text, a survey finds.

Maybe the Direct Instruction folks are the ones without an inner monologue.
What’s your least favorite #geometry theorem to teach and why is it the altitude to the hypotenuse theorem?
I can multiply a binomial times binomial and get a binomial. Or a binomial times a trinomial to result in a binomial. Is it always possible to multiply polynomials with any # of terms and end up with a binomial? (m terms) x (n terms) = 2 terms? Does m or n have to be even?
Overheard in junior high: “Hey, today’s date is the same spelled backwards!”
Geometry today: “One of the US presidents wrote a proof of pythag thm. Can you guess which one?” They guess the famous ones. Then ask if it’s one no one knows. (Yes.) Finally… “Andrew Garfield?” Well, it was James Garfield. Andrew is Spider-Man. “Spider-Man proved PT?” 😵💫
Maybe the answer to “when are we going to use this?” is: You might not. But people who build bridges, predict financial outcomes, invent vaccines, engineer defense systems, operate on you, develop your games, design stadiums are using math. It’s not random. Be aware.
Me: Happy Earth Day! 8th grader: It’s Earth Day? I should drink more water bottles so I can recycle them.
Hey, look at me! I did inquiry learning AND direct instruction today IN THE SAME LESSON! It was AMAZING! Also know as: a Monday.
A students asked me this week if the trig ratios were considered operations. If yes, where do they fit in our OoOps? If no, what are they? What about logs? Absolute Value? #mtbos #iteachmath
How come I have to wait a whole week for my new glasses but Mary Ingalls and Pa take the buggy to Mankato to the eye doctor and he can make the perfect pair for her right there? I smell a rat.
Here’s a Curriculum Reform thought: I teach the same kids in the same class with the same curriculum. Some do great, some do not. The rest are in between. Is it the curriculum? Is it me? Or is it that all people are different people?
I just missed the last drop of coffee from my Keurig and I’m NOT going to let that ruin my day, right??
Love how this hellscape’s “Discover More” tab shows me tweets I’ve already seen (and often interacted with.)
I always make our warmup with the date. Today: a rhombus has diagonals of 4 and 9. Find the lengths of the sides and the angles formed by the sides. AND THE SIDE LENGTH WAS 4.9 AND THE ANGLE MEASURE OF ONE OF THE RIGHT TRIANGLES WAS 24°! 4.9 24 4/9/24 Serendipity
Both dogs tried to make nice with a porcupine today. The porcupine wasn’t having it. $1200 later, they’re resting semi-comfortably.
Why did that TV ad look suspiciously like a Back-to-School commercial????

@Dsrussosusan @desmosclassroom I love it! The subtlety of the joke that the painting skis upside down 🤣
Just found out my fave co-worker is staying when I thought she might be leaving
I feel like this is obvious, but a main reason why teachers make their own curriculum is because assigned materials are too hard for students. Another is because it's boring for kids to do the same kind of stuff every day. This is apparently debatable?
I'm enjoying seeing students' creative approaches to this design challenge using @desmosclassroom 😎💯

Cart teacher story: One first grade class I have on Wednesdays earned an incentive to have stuffed animal friends on their desks with them all day. One kid got very concerned that I might not have known to bring an animal and would feel left out. So she made me one.
For every snapshot of bad inquiry-driven teaching, I can FOR SURE show you bad “direct instruction.” I mean if you wanna go, we can go 😆
Them: Inquiry based teaching is the stupidest form of education Also Them: Socrates was the greatest teacher ever the Greeks ruled all Me: Square that circle for me there, Euclid
So this just happened: My doorbell rang. I opened the door to find one of the men (half my age) who delivered my furniture last week standing there saying, "I stopped to say hello & tell you how beautiful you are." Next time I buy furniture I'm requesting it be delivered by bears
while I appreciate that some colleges pushed their deadlines back from today, that not all did and that some students still lack complete financial aid info means students were still forced to make decisions on incomplete information
@Dsrussosusan Yep. For this type of tree anyway it’s yellow blossoms from red buds. The yellow is actually made of stamens rather than petals, which is pretty cool.
I got a window unit air conditioner for my sons room and it made you download an app?? Please can we stop using apps for everything, it’s too much, it’s just too many apps.
@HeatherL114 I could say things about the way she’s teaching them letter sounds in that lesson… but I won’t 🤐
“Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood” This was my instructional coaching goal this year. Didn’t always meet it, but did way more than didn’t.
@MrAleoSays Edutwitter is mind boggling - that people cannot understand that different teaching methods serve different purposes across different contexts and that understanding the benefits & limitations of each and how they complement each other is what effective teaching looks like.
It's the time of year when every professor receives an e-mail: "Dear Sir, I need to make a B+ in your class in order to graduate but I have never attended the course or done any of the classwork. Is there extra credit I can do in the next hour that would make up for that?"
