Had to capture this moment. One student taking the initiative to teach his peers! Does this mean I’m out of a job? I’m very proud to see my students supporting each other. #peersteachingpeers @JoeOBedu D128Union Anne M. Beninghof

Student votes from yesterday's VHHS Pi Day Extravaganza were tallied and the "winner" of a pie in the face was VHHS Math Teacher Jennifer Tye who received her honor this morning from Principal Jon Guillaume. Thanks for being a great sport, Ms. Tye!

Give standing Ss a marker, whiteboard, & partner, and watch the magic happen! 🪄 ❤️ hearing the discussions, support, and encouragement Ss give each other... So much more active learning than when I've given the same task sitting @ their desks! 💡 #inquisitive #thinkingclassroom

Teaching Linear Regression through a real world context: phone battery at different times during the day.

Always a fun time playing Turkeys in the Oven! Ss work in groups on ?s, and put their "turkeys in the oven" after each answer. Each oven has a secret point value - always an uproar with the negative points! 🤣 mathequalslove.net/turkeys-in-the…
