I 💚how a group of Ss decided 2 cut & paste their graph paper 2 fit all of their transformation steps on 1 paper. It was a creative solution to their problem #problemsolvingskills #iteachmath #thisisnorthside Task: Build a Polygon, then follow the 3 step transformation process

We had fun building 3D models of intersecting planes, naming planes, and looking at their intersections. 💜🖤I love my students. #thisisnorthside #MTBos #iteachmath

For any #geometry teachers interested: Sample navigation tool for a quick unit where Ss study parallel lines & related angles & polygon angles: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…. Peter Liljedahl Melisa McCain Building Thinking Classrooms #BTCthinks

Calculating slope from a table of coordinates has been so much easier for them to grasp compared to using the formula! Whiteboards>>> #iteachmath #MTBos #ThisisNorthside

I got to see my sweet student from Jones MS today and she looks fabulous in her Lydia attire from Beetlejuice. ♥️🖤

Today my students discovered how to determine the sum of the interior angles of polygons. 🔺🔸✏️ #ThisisNorthside #iteachmath #MTBos

The game changer for Ss understanding this concept of functions was to talk about soda machines! Making the connection of a broken soda machine and graphing possibilities helped them come up with the vertical line test. #iteachmath

I had a great time last night at Steubing Elementary supporting their STEM night with my dad. We shared big takeaways about cyberspace, internet use, and how to have good 'netiquette'. 💻🛜

Algebra tiles are a great way for students to have a concrete experience with an abstract concept. Magnetic algebra tiles are fantastic if you can find some. You could always laminate colored paper and glue the magnet on the back too. #iteachmath

This was the best Monday surprise after a long break!🍂🦃🧡🩷 #thankateacher

Market Days at Dr. Hector P. Garcia MS is a sight to behold. These students are future entrepreneurs and leaders. I love seeing my students outside of my classroom. #iteachmath

We had a blast today with some Math/Holiday trivia on Desmos. Students were on teams, they got to wager points, and they had an engaging day before break! See you all in 2025! #IteachMath #iTeachGeometry teacher.desmos.com/activitybuilde…

Not sure why I never thought to do this sooner. I offered extra credit for Ss to send a video of themselves solving a trig question must have audio and steps for their process. These videos fill my heart with joy! Listening to their voice use math language is gold! #iteachmath

I love that my students are gaining a deep understanding of the relationship between the volume of a cylinder compared to a cone! 🥰😎

My students always love the surface area of a sphere activity. One student told me that orange peels are good for your skin so we of course had to test that theory. 🤓🍊

Today my Ss worked on an Open Middle task with groups at the whiteboards and their collaboration made my teacher heart full!

Here is a fun one slide puzzle for your MS students who would want a challenge. If you are aiming for productive struggle you might like this! 🤓teacher.desmos.com/activitybuilde…

Here is a TomTom puzzle activity you can try with your students. Great for MS or HS students looking for a challenge. #mtbos #iteachmath teacher.desmos.com/activitybuilde…
