Hey @MrDeltaMath quick Q, is there anyway to somehow disable the “answer must be submitted in simplest form” condition and allow equivalent correct, but unreduced answers to earn credit?

An unpopular take but I am struggling to justify giving passing grades to HS juniors who don’t know their basic times tables. What does #mtbos think of requiring timed tests on times tables at the high school level? And any suggestions for teaching times tables to 16 y/os? Lol

Three different sets of “notes to your future selves” on the same topic. I gave Ss the learning goal, and the problems they solved on their boards, and they created this 🤩 #ThinkingClassroom #iteachmath #mtbos

One of my students from last year who’s in AP calc now stoped by my classroom just to say “thank you for forcing me to learn the unit circle it is so helpful now” 🤩💯

How we Show Our Understanding in this #ThinkingClassroom! Before the test Ss record their current score for each topic, then highlight the topics they still need to show or improve! #iteachmath #mtbos

Heard a (male) S calling out his friend, another male, for comparing two girls today, saying one is “better” than the other. S1: “Bro that’s messed up, you don’t talk about people that way, how would you feel if she said she preferred (another S) over you?” 👏🏼👏🏼 love to hear it

Anyone got good #ThinkingClassroom lessons for teaching the graphs of rational functions? Usually I use @Desmos for this but the internet is currently unusable in my district 🥲

Student generated notes are starting to look so good! Notice every student picked their own example, and everyone’s look different because KIDS decided how to structure their own notes! #ThinkingClassroom #iteachmath #mtbos

One thing I didn’t anticipate Ss wanting to learn today was how to draw an ampersand 🙃 #iteachmath #mtbos

What do you do for Ss that lack incredibly basic number sense (I’m talking can’t count by 2s here) in high school? How do you remediate while still teaching grade level content?

Offered a prize for being the first student to be able to name all the other students in your class. The prize was a goat, because “you’re the goat” @CarlosD70460315
