Happy first week of school DPS109! This fall I’ll be spending my time with these mathematicians-in-training during my maternity leave, but I’ll be cheering you all on from the sidelines as you embark on this new adventure of remote learning! #engage109

My interpretation of Jax’s facial expression in every photo: “Mom, when are you going back to work? I’m tired of dressing up in fancy clothes, sitting in pumpkins, and taking selfies.” 😉 I am excited to announce that tomorrow I will be returning from maternity leave! #engage109

Using Jamboard has been great in math, but sometimes you can’t beat paper-pencil ✏️! Making packets for students to pick up for the 7RP unit since it involves a lot of tables and graphs! #engage109 Jamie Mall @rfrase1

My favorite real life example of 7.G.1 (scale drawings + scale factor) yet! Over Thanksgiving break, I drew this scale drawing and then my husband and I brought it to life using our DIY skills! Using math in the real world! #engage109 #mathinreallife

Instead of continually hearing: “This is not America” Let’s start hearing: “This is not what we want America to be”. And then let’s do things to help make it better. 💛

Saturday is for the best kind of multi-tasking; work and snuggles! #engage109

Did you miss your chance to catch the live webinar for MAP Assessments today? Don't worry, you can watch the recording anytime on the DPS109 website: dps109.org/site/default.a… #Engage109

They got me! By the time my full class logged in, I had five “Sarah Hogan” name imposters and one Steve Shannon name imposter! Crafty April Fools trick 🤪#engage109 #AprilFoolsDay

Instead of a traditional test on Probability, my 6th graders showed their knowledge through creating & playing probability games at our Virtual Probability Carnival! The pictures show screenshots of a few of the creative student games! #engage109

Today, my 6th graders were able to derive the formula for volume of a cone all by themselves after watching my demonstration! V=1/3(pi)r^2h is no joke but hands on learning = understanding! #engage109 #handsonmath

I had so much fun reading a math folktale (involving exponential growth) to @109Shepard 8th Grade Algebra students! If you get one grain of rice on Day One, and your rice doubles for 30 days (1, 2, 4, etc), how much will you have by day 30? 🤔 #engage109

Attention Target shoppers 📢 students practicing real-life application of tax and discount with my co-store manager @rfrase1 made this Friday so much fun ❤️🏷 #Engage109 #SMSPride

First grade minds are brilliant! Ms. Doherty I am always so impressed with the mathematicians in your class!
