My 3U s are having challenges with stretching & compression factors, partly due to number sense misconceptions, so we are doing Number Talks...and they are loving them!
Amazing to see their reactions and quick growth.
I so wish we did them K to 10 consistently
Question for universities faculties of Math re current HS cohort:
Could you please share any plans that are being considered to support these students?
We want to inform our G12 teachers

This is the translation of a letter from a student in Mexico about returning to the classroom. Shared with me by my dear Jorge Garcia. Talk about perspective!
So cool to see @TimGeoGebra teaching GeoGebra. Thanks @wheeler_laura for organizing and @cbrownLmath for today's session #ggbchat. Looking forward to Wednesday.
Now I need a break!

2 questions about feedback to students via AB @Desmos :
1. Will earlier activities created by desmos will be "retrofitted"?
2. Can I edit my earlier activities to include feedback?
Gracias @mrchowmath #iteachmath @MaryBourassa #MTBoS @jreulbach
AB Moving Dot. With the help of @mrchowmath @Desmos I was able to refine this activity. It is awesome to work with Jay, like watching magic.#iteachmath #MTBoS #MHF4U

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
So happy about this!
Thank you Desmos.
Tonight, we're rolling out a beta version of our distance teachers' #1 request:
✨ WRITTEN ✨ FEEDBACK ✨ IN ✨ ACTIVITIES ✨
Turn it on at teacher.desmos.com/labs.
And see how it works right here. 👇

This quotation is hitting hard today, not only because of my own experiences in #HigherEd but also because of what’s going on in ON. My sister and her #etfo colleagues are picketing in a blizzard today, standing up for students, to get the gov’t to support the work they do.

This is good news for anyone considering evaluations using dynamic geometric software.
#GeoGebra Graphing Calculator is now fully compatible for high-stakes exams, as all geometric construction features have been removed: geogebra.org/graphing. It can easily be locked down to student devices on all platforms to provide a safe & secure testing environment!
Graduating from MMT @uWaterloo_CEMC with my mentor Dr. Amanda Garcia. So fortunate!
Great session with our DDSB math leadership teams sharing our learnings from #OAME2019
Thanksto Matt @math_henry123 for one of the most valuable, informative, inspirational and well prepared sessions. We need to move in this direction.
Some of the best OAME sessions happen on Saturdays...thanks to Mark C @tansinecosine for many valuable ideas #Oame2019
Thanks to all participants to our session today. Lots of great collaboration, math thinking and fun. #OAME2019
