3-Act #Math Tasks are some of the most powerful #learning experiences @BeattieClass used in their middle school classroom. Learn about the research behind these effective #teaching practices. sbee.link/xg9b7vyfpu #Mathchat #teachingideas
When subtracting from a number that ends with a lot of zeros, consider subtracting 1 from both numbers so we don't have to "borrow" several times.
Thank you @CFPExtraYard and @CCSSO for this surreal experience at @CFBPlayoff! I’m humbled to represent teachers in both the big and everyday moments this year. To my #ntoy23 cohort: you are some of the best parts of me. Thank you for being my teacher. #GreatTeachersChangeLives
