I am currently reading Mathematical Tasks by Chris McGrane and Mark McCourt. I also follow several UK maths teachers and really enjoy the tasks they share. It makes me wonder about task design - is it part of the teacher training program or just related to who I follow?

Does anyone know if there is a collection of error analysis or spot the error problems for HS Geometry? Thanks! #iteachmath #mtbos #mathsky

I need a better way to organize ideas, tasks, & activities for various lessons/chapters... I've tried electronic and I always forget it even exists - out of sight, out of mind? I've tried paper and that works ok, but maybe need to organize it better? What do you do? #mtbos #iteachmath #mathsky

Geometry teachers - what are some of your favorite tech explorations? Here are ones I have already: - Geogeobra - parallel lines and transversals - Geogebra - properties of parallelograms - Geogebra - trig ratios - Desmos - angles in polygons

@abeljennifer.bsky.social Thanks for the re-post (what are they called on here??)... What's on your summer reading list? I also love seeing what you are reading!

I am vaguely remembering someone (years ago), compiling a geometry problem set book based on the Exeter materials plus maybe some other materials? Does this sound familiar to anyone? #mathsky #mtbos #iteachmath

Okay #mtbos friends - summer is approaching! What's on your #eduread Reading List? #iteachmath #mathsky

Hey @ddmeyer.bsky.social - I was going to use some of the 3act tasks in my Geometry class and many of the "get the goods" links are dead due to the 101qs site being down. Do you have them available anywhere else? If not, no biggie, just thought I'd ask! :) Thanks!

Any good activities or lessons for volumes of revolution for a high school honors geometry class? I'm planning hands on and literally revolving them but looking for ideas #mtbos #iteachmath #mathsky

For any of my MTBoS friends that love reading thrillers - both Falling and Drowning by TJ Newman are now on KU!

Does anyone know if I can schedule an assignment on GC to open at a different time for one student? My class isn't until the last period of the day, but I have a student that needs earlier access, but I don't want to open it for everyone.

Why is there not an "unpublish" button on Google Classroom? I just don't understand...

Does anyone have a right triangle review where students have to determine the method to use? (Pythagorean, SRT, or trig) #mathsky #iteachmath #mtbos

We've been on distance learning a LOT this month due to illness and weather. I'm running out of DL ideas. I thought of having them use Desmos / polypad to create a quadrilateral themed artwork, but does something like this already exist maybe?

Does anyone have an example of a k-12 learning progression for a single strand (like functions, etc)? My professor has asked us to make 3 of them, but before I get too involved in making one, I was hoping for an example just to make sure I'm on the right track. TIA! #mtbos #iteachmath #mathsky

Hi friends! I'm working on an assignment for a class I'm taking and I wanted to get your feedback on a question: What questions should teachers strive to ensure that students can answer about functions? I am curious what others would say. I have a list of ideas, but checking if I forgot anything

3 preps plus a broken finger (arm/hand in splint) plus 2 grad school classes might be more than I can handle... Thankful for yesterday's snow day for giving me two 3 day weekends in a row to try to juggle it all!

Some days, every book on my TBR sounds fascinating and I add more and more. Somedays, nothing catches my eye, even though I have plenty of books on the list... I'm definitely a mood reader and having a grumpy mood right now isn't helping. My arm itches under the splint and winter break is over :(

If anyone wants to join us, here is the book we are reading: Making Sense of Mathematics for Teaching High School www.amazon.com/dp/194249648... This term is going to busy with teaching full time, 2 grad classes, and a broken right pinky but I am so grateful to be chatting again #eduread

#eduread Thank you for doing this #eduread with me! I've missed our chats!! Any last minute thoughts on the Intro or Ch 1?

#eduread One of the chapter reflections questions was about any challenges you see in using these strategies... For me, I think time to develop and explore... overall, I don;t teach a ton of algebra, but I want to look for some tie-ins that I can help make better connections

#eduread The TQE (Task, Question, Evidence) process mentioned in this book reminded me a lot of the 5 Practices as well. I enjoyed watching the classroom snippetts to illustrate the process

#eduread In Ch 1, I found the discussion on inverses quite interesting as well. I had never thought about the function of y=2x+5 and its connection to solving an equation such as 13=2x+5 and how you could use that to really teach the idea of inverse functions

#eduread One concern I had while reading is how many teachers in my state are emergency / noncertified... how do we get this kind of PD into their hands to help them make connections in order to teach their students?

#eduread One thing I really like so far about this book is the DOING... The authors ask you to do the task before the discussion / connections

(Please forgive typos... still learning how to type with right hand in a splint!) #eduread Q1: What do you feel were the key points in the chapter? (Intro and Ch 1)

It's been a busy year so far, but @mathymom.bsky.social and I decided to start 2025 with an #eduread! We are reading Making Sense of Mathematics for Teaching (High School) and would love for you to join us! Today we are talking about the Intro and Ch 1

Trying to plan for next week today... however with my dominant hand in a splint (broken pinky), it takes 2-3 times longer. I'm exhausted and I'm only on Monday's plans!

@mathequalslove.bsky.social when making your 2025 puzzles, have you made one like the 1 to 9s puzzle? Just curious

Math friends.. any suggestions for a good video on Sierpinski's triangle? My next chapter is similarity and thought that would be a good Monday activity after break. #mathsky #iteachmath #mtbos

One of my favorite things of a new month is seeing what is new on Kindle Unlimited (KU). Here are some that caught my eye today: The Briar Club by Kate Quinn The Measure by Nikki Erlick Sandwich by Catherine Newman The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas The Lost Apothecary by Sarah Penner

Are there any online fiction book clubs you would recommend? Just something I've thought about a lot this break! #mtbos

@karencampe.bsky.social Looking at old MT calendars for our school math challenge. Just looked at Dec 2017 and it seems like one you would enjoy :)

Stocking up my Winter Break Reading list... (as if I don't already have a TBR a mile long!) What was your favorite / best read of 2024?

What a day.... The fire alarm went off 23 times during my 6th and 7th hour finals. Only 1/2 day left before break!

Any suggestions for a good online "scoreboard" for classrooms that allow multiple groups?

What are some low / no cost ideas to help boost staff morale? What are some things your staff has participated in that brought smiles to faces and just an overall joy to the workplace? Any and all ideas appreciated! #mtbos #iteachmath #mathsky #edusky

Random thought / question of the day... What makes a problem engaging to you? Digging around some old resources, looking for some tasks for my honors class tomorrow and this thought popped into my head... I'm drawn to problems with diagrams more than ones with just words. #mtbos #iteachmath

Finished my paper - it's not great, but it's done :) Last assignment of this term and I'm free until January in doing college assignments. We have 3 weeks until Winter Break at the HS.

I need to write a paper today - using NotebookLM to help get me motivated. It's kind of neat to hear an AI podcast over a research article.

@mathequalslove.bsky.social Do you have a set of big tangrams for the whiteboard by any chance?

What are some cool #Desmos activities for early elementary? Asking for a 3rd grade foster child who loves math but is getting his confidence hurt by so many timed standardized tests. He just got his own Chromebook for home and wants to do some math activities. #MTBoS #EduSky #ITeachMath

I've enjoyed my reading time during this break, but gosh, I miss #eduread I learned so much from our book chats! #mtbos #iteachmath #mathsky

I should be reading an article and writing a paper for my class, but it's so hard to motivate myself in this cold weather!

@mathgarden.bsky.social Is it in Math Recess that you mention the power of a story? I'm pretty sure I read about it in one of your books, but just not sure which one :)

A thought I've been pondering the past few days... I'm a good teacher. But I'm nowhere near the teacher I was 10-12 years ago when the #mtbos was going strong. I'm really hopeful that the bluesky energy brings back some of that passion and excitement for me.

Don't mind me, I'm just over here adding books to my Kindle unlimited TBR list for Thanksgiving break :) #booksky

Due to some scheduling issues this week, one of my classes was a bit dull. Kiddo from that class yesterday - "Hey T, why didn't we get to be on the boards this week? Can we go to the boards next week?" Engagement matters! #mtbos #iteachmath #mathsky

I really enjoy using Bingo Baker for quick bingo games for my classroom. I also recommend paying the $25 for the lifetime access to allow you to put in images. :) #mtbos #mathsky #iteachmath

Hey math friends! Does anyone have a worksheet / practice activity on scatterplots and lines of best fit using the calculator? I want my students to practice using the calculator to find the equation and use it to make predictions. I could make one but thought I'd ask! #mtbos #iteachmath #mathsky
