It’s not Monday but I love this math meme. There’s so much here to unpack… aside from the heteronormative stereotypes… #mathmemes #math #mathteacher #apstatistics #mtbos #iteachmath #teacher #highschoolmath #mathematics #statsteacher #teachersofinstagram #mathteachersofinstagram #mathteachers

Students have a funny way of showing their appreciation! #math #mathteacher #mtbos #iteachmath #teacher #highschoolmath #mathematics #mathteachers #ilovemath #highschoolteacher

What do math teachers do on Pi Day? Serve over $2000 worth of pie and many other snacks, drinks, and goodies (as well as goodie bags for our friends observing Ramadan). And have a library full of math activities! #piday #math #mathteacher #iteachmath #mtbos #teacher

Last stop - visiting the office of former Denver Public Schools Senator Michael Bennet where we talked about how teachers need more of an investment - and when you invest in teachers, you invest in students and our future! Way to go everyone with me from @nctm.org - such powerful work today!

Another awesome sit down with Blaise (a Denver Public Schools graduate) who works with the amazing Rep Diana DeGette where we talked about the need to fight for teachers, fight for funding, and most importantly fight for our students! I’m so honored to be a part of @nctm.org and its advocacy!

Had a great talk with the staff of Rep Pettersen about the state of education and the needs of public educators, particularly in mathematics! Thank you @nctm.org for this chance to represent you and advocate for a better tomorrow!

That’s me!

Help fam! I want to teach factoring but don’t want to just show the algorithms (students forget those). I’ve been showing guess and check with some algorithms to support that process, but they are struggling! Thoughts? #math #mathteacher #mtbos #iteachmath #highschoolmath #mathteachers #ilovemath

Transgender Awareness Week! Now, more than ever, our Trans Ss need to know there are adults who care and support them! Today, I informed my Ss that my color choices were celebrating the trans community and we discussed trans mathematician Autumn Kent and her words! #mtbos #iteachmath #teacher

Teachers are bad at asking for help. Math teachers in particular. It is not a sign of weakness to know your limits - it takes great strength to ask for help! I’m here to support any and all who need it! #mathteacher #mtbos #iteachmath #teacher #highschoolmath #mathteachers #highschoolteacher

This is my math world! What does yours look like?

I had this absolutely brilliant thought about teaching while working out today… and now I can’t remember it. Any thoughts as to what it was? #iteachmath #mathteacher #mtbos #teacher #mathteachers #teachers

While many had amazing answers (and I’m not sure how to shoutout those right now), here’s why I used this: We discussed factoring out a GCF that day. This low floor number talk paved the way for a successful lesson - so kudos to those that talked about factors!

Which one is unique and why? Shoutouts to best answers! I’ll follow-up with when and how I used this one in class (trust me, you’ll love it)! #math #mathteacher #mtbos #iteachmath #teacher #highschoolmath #mathematics #mathteachers #ilovemath #mathfun #nctm #highschoolteacher #numbertalk

#mathmememonday - stats class learning about normal distributions… ain’t it cute? #mathmememonday #math #mathteacher #apstatistics #mtbos #iteachmath #teacher #highschoolmath #mathematics #statsteacher #teachersofinstagram #mathteachersofinstagram #mathteachers

This is not math. This is not analyzing the world using complex models. This is not problem solving. This is not critical thinking. This is not reasoning and persevering. This is rote memorization of an algorithm imposed upon a useless array of numbers. This doesn’t not determine genius status

We all know six was afraid of seven because seven ate nine… but can you really blame seven? They just wanted three squared meals 😝 #mathjokes #iteachmath #mathteacher #math #teacher #mathpuns #dadjokes

#nctmchi24 was great! But it’s also great to be back home! Now the work begins… #mtbos #iteachmath #mathteachers #math
