For tests, I dedicate the first 5 minutes to have students hold the tests and talk to their group about strategies (w/out pencils). This lowers their test anxiety AND when you walk around, you hear some of the richest math conversations. #iteachmath

Are there some high school teachers out there who can make me feel better? Seeing my children's high school maths experience is so dispiriting. Tell me you are breaking this cycle? Policy makers need to support teachers in making urgent change. – at Palo Alto, CA

Two years ago, I was saying “do you have any questions?”. Last year I switched to “what questions do you have?” It made a difference. Today I tried “ask me two questions”. And they did! And those ?s led to more ?s. It amazes me that the littlest things have such a big impact!

This is for anyone tchg algebra or supporting teachers who do. On Tue Sep 4 we launch our new algebra lessons, infused with a mindset approach - introducing algebra visually (instead of procedurally). Students will love these algebraic ideas! All free on youcubed.org

I asked students to respond to: If I'm angry, please...If you're proud of me, I hope you...When I'm not in school, my responsibilities include...I hope this class is a place where...I hope we don't...I respect teachers who... Their responses provided valuable insight. #1st5days

Set aside 12 minutes today to read this outstanding piece by @LadyOfSardines. It is the best thing I have read about how to create the conditions for meaningful classroom conversations. Insightful and humble and provides a model that can be replicated. medium.com/@ursulawolfe/dang…

Before I re-create the wheel, does anyone have a student handout of their standards where students have room to record their progress? #MTBoS #SBG

I created this for students to choose partners for stand and talks and other activities where I will have them work with people outside of their pod. I couldn't think of an Algebra idea but I like this #iteachmath
