I can’t count the number of times I’m scrolling through Twitter and think, “Man! I wish I would have seen this two weeks ago!” or I’ll be looking at stuff and think, “I was supposed to remember to use that when I taught that stuff!” Here are many of those tweets from this past year. Looking through last year’s post, I realized I need to go back through those for next year too. (Also, after doing this, I can definitely see why Sarah does this weekly rather than yearly. So many awesome ideas being shared!)
One of the routines from this year I'll definitely keep is #howmany https://t.co/zjP0DQZJw6 @Trianglemancsd #unitchat

A new twist on a favorite @openmiddle task. Playing with fractions greater than 1. Notice I didn't use "improper"? #elemmathchat pic.twitter.com/TNSqXUlo8A

Day93: #teach180 Slope #openmiddle with Math 8. Which is closer to 1? 6/7 or 7/6. Convince us. How many ways can you find to make a slope of 1/2? Can we use 0? Largest slope? #iteachmath pic.twitter.com/lNAg2jpe8e

Ss have been so engaged while I’ve used @WODBMath all year for our Math/Number Talks so we decided to make some of our own. Having the Ss present their ‘talks’ has been so fun and rewarding! #tvdsbmath #tvdsbtech #somersetstarstvdsb pic.twitter.com/IXVGEWGzqV
