  1. #ClassroomMath #Prompt1 #mtbos #iTeachMath

    1) Hello, I am a HS math teacher in SoCal. I've taught everything from Basic Math (back in the day) to precalculus. Looking forward to teaching AP Precalculus in the fall.

    2) First apple pie, second donut and third cake

    3) Outside of the classroom, I am a soccer mom. With 2 boys playing club, there's very little down time. Between practices, league games and tournaments, we are busy all year long. In addition to that, I became the photographer for the two teams. I enjoy capturing the soccer action and recording images of my boys doing what they love.

    Thanks @jreulbach and @samjshah for bringing us together.

    I would love to pick your brain on #SBG @Mathvice I attempted it last year but I know it could be better.

  2. Time Timers, in the digital age, has to be one of the largest and most useless money drains for schools, already equipped with projectors and computers?

  3. Classroom prepared for @mikrotik_com #MTCNA starting tomorrow.

  4. For a long time I was struggling with how to organize the various useful websites that I have found for math, science, teacher tools, and general fun. A few years ago I decided to organize them into a Google slide deck, and it seems to be working much better for me.
    And now I share with you all....

  5. Establishing effective classroom discipline is crucial for creating a positive learning environment. Clear expectations, positive reinforcement, consistency, personalized discipline policies aligned with school guidelines, involving parents, and feedback-driven adjustments are key strategies for new teachers to enhance the discipline framework. #ClassroomDiscipline #EffectiveTeaching #EducationSupport teachermentor.blog/2024/11/13/

  6. I understand, of course that times change. We work harder to make the #classroom a #welcoming and #accommodating place for all students. We no longer have nuts in classroom celebrations. Vegan and gluten-free treats are available for children who need them.

    And as a #TrueAlly to the Christian population of our school, of course I’m aware that not everyone celebrates Tu B'Shvat. Some people follow strict religions that require them to skip these kinds of #holidays.

  7. In this new open access article published on the cover of the journal Near Eastern Archaeology, Dr. Peter J. Cobb and Dr. Juuso H. Nieminen introduce and evaluate a pilot experiment of deploying #VR in an undergraduate archaeological course. The article explores #pedagogical implications, from the creation of #3D models to challenges with 3D software, as well as the students' experience in the VR #archaeology #classroom.

  8. Introducing systems today. Had the students make 2 lists; one where pairs of numbers summed to 6, and the other with pairs of numbers whose difference is 11. Then asked them to find a pair of numbers that are on both lists.

    Absolute crickets.

    I had to ask leading questions, give hints, ask them if they had tried such and such. I really had to drag them along before they realized they could do something other than stare at their paper.

    So the next period I had them start standing at the whiteboards before I gave them this task. And I did not have to seed them at all. Some were graphing the pairs and realized they made lines. Others were finding the equations of the lines and realizing they needed to find the intersection point. All in all, in 15 minutes I watched the whole class figure out systems of equations. I taught them nothing.

    I really feel like when the students are sitting in their desks, they are waiting for me to give out answers and pour knowledge into their brain. But when they are standing at the whiteboards, they take control of their learning. They are willing to try different things, take risks. And they don't wait for me to tell them what to do.

    #ThinkingClassroom for the win.

  9. Day two in #Algebra2 went well. Did the checkerboard problem (Counting the number of squares in an 8x8 checkerboard, look for patterns, extend to an nxn board). Yesterday we experienced how using tables to organize our thinking could be useful and illuminate unforseen patterns, so I was happy to see many groups using tables today. I was especially giddy when two groups saw they had different numbers in their tables, but they added up to the same total, and then proceeded to spend some time trying to understand eachother's approach. All in all, a good day.

  10. #ClassroomMath #prompt3

    This week will be fun and frivolous in the best kind of way, dear peeps who love math and teaching! We’re going to do two things. We’re going to play “Some truths and maybe a lie?” and also you’ll share a photograph from your phone that brings you joy -- and explain why.

    In your post:
    1. Write down three facts about yourself, but one, two, or all three can be lies!
    2. Share your photo and explain why it brings you joy.
    3. Tag your post with #prompt3 and #ClassroomMath

    Of course the whole point of this is to get people talking! So after you post, look around at other posts with the #prompt3 hashtag and make a guess! Are any of them lies? All of them? Bonus fake points if you start talking with someone you’ve never talked to.

    As always, to practice using mathstodon, two challenges. First, find a new hashtag based on one of your interests that people are posting with (for example, #knitting) and “follow it” so it shows up in your timeline. Then share it with the #ClassroomMath community in case others are interested.

    Second, many of you have been using the official mastodon app, but (@jreulbach and @samjshah) have tried many apps and we’re loving IceCube for iPhones: apps.apple.com/us/app/ice-cube. So our first suggestion is to check that out!

    If you have any ideas for future prompts or ways to build community, please DM @samjshah and @jreulbach! We’d love help keeping the conversations happening!

    [Note: If you want to know what the previous prompts were, you can read them here samjshah.com/2023/07/04/lets-g and you can also search for #prompt1 and #prompt2 to see the replies!]

  11. Hi all! I've been teaching for 17 years-math at first, but now full time computer science, in Texas. I'm equal opportunity on the sweets. When not doing nerdy/teaching things, I enjoy running, cycling, or almost anything outside. Excited for the potential mastodon has for connecting with other teachers! #classroommath #prompt1

  12. #ClassroomMath #prompt2

    Superb! We’re introducing ourselves, we’re getting used to the platform! Wunderbar!

    One thing we all have in common in this community, no matter how different we are (including in many of your terrible rankings of desserts from #prompt1), is that we have worked with kids in the classroom teaching math. We all have millions of stories inside of us that are hilarious, heartbreaking, harrowing, hopeful… When you rallied against the administration, when a kid said something wonderfully outrageous, when you accidentally had an answer to a start-of-class question be 69 and you were being observed…

    So we ask you to share just one small story from your teaching life -- something you’re comfortable sharing! Something you’d share with friends over dinner after a particularly eventful week. (Remember if you use the mathstodon.xyz site, you can get 1729 characters in a post.)

    In your post:

    1. Share your SMALL story. No pressure… and remember this is a judgment free zone.

    2. Tag your post with #Prompt2 and #ClassroomMath

    We also realized that if others are reading your story and want to find the prompt, they might not know how to find the original prompt. So if you can, REPLY to this post so others can see what the prompt is replying to!

    Lastly, to practice using mathstodon, here’s the new challenge! In the next few days, go to your LOCAL timeline. That’s posts by EVERYONE on mathstodon.xyz (or whatever “instance” you’re on), not just people you follow. Find someone new to follow AND boost a post of theirs that you find. (Boost is like a re-tweet.) That will help others who follow you see something you find interesting… and maybe they’ll start following that person too.

  16. Classroom teachers tend to offer less help to a student who has a 1-1 paraprofessional. This disrupts the student-teacher relationship and belongingness with friends. There are better paraprofessional models. #LeadInclusion #EdChat #UDL #Inclusion #EduTooter #education #disability

    Here is LibreOffice Online. Today, my student tried #Nextcloud and learned how to make backups with #Encryption, and finally discovered #LibreOfficeOnline. He learns computing with #Ubuntu. I am the happiest person today alhamdulillahi rabbil 'alamin.

  18. I once had a 3rd floor classroom that was missing the screen on the window. I had told maintenance about it many times but kept my windows closed so it wasn't a huge deal. Well then we had one of those days in the winter where the heat got broken on too hot (happened fairly often at that school) so a student asked to open a window and without thinking I said sure. Next thing I know, a student has thrown his shoe out the window just so he could "see for sure that there was no screen". What?! Teaching freshmen is an adventure sometimes...

  19. My small story about one of my favorite moments from this past school year:
    Me and a math teacher at a nearby elementary school started a partnership last year between my math team and his 5/6th grade Math Olympiad math team. I traveled with my students every 3-4 weeks to the elementary school so my kids could work with and help his kids complete problems, develop problem solving strategies, etc. So cute and heartwarming to watch them work together.
    The big end of year event was a district-wide fun math competition at my high school for all 5/6th graders in the district. My students helped me create a middle-school friendly, pump-up playlist to blast as all the buses arrived with the middle schoolers (lots of Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars lol). Watching the high schoolers yell the lyrics and cheer for the younger kids and greet them with a huge high-five line as they got off the buses was so fun to see - an amazing end to the school year!

  21. I was teaching 7th grade math, and we were discussing the concepts of integers and their opposites.

    Students were giving real life examples of numerical opposites, like making $50 and owing $50.

    One kid suggested 12 donuts.

    Me, surprised: What's the opposite of positive twelve donuts?

    Kid, exasperated and clearly questioning my intelligence: Negative twelve donuts!

    Me:

  25. One of my favorite "I really should have thought before saying that!" moments--I told a class of 11th graders, "We don't like you for your A-ness". Instead of stopping to investigate the chuckles, I continued, "We don't base our love and support for you on your B-ness."

    Context: As an advisor after a bad round of test grades, I was trying to make the point that teachers see students, not their grades getting ability. Not a fan of giving grades at all anymore!
