Delights in being a part of mathematical learning journeys. Curious about curiosity in mathematics. #iteachmath #MTBoS #Edusky #BTCthinks
Appreciate faciliting with UCSD Math Project on their Summer Institute. Teachers get together for a week of learning, and then implement. They’re learning with students in the Summer!  We are exploring gear ratio today as we continue to explore proportional reasoning.

Middle school math and elementary teachers compared and discussed pedagogy, assessments, and key ideas by grade level! What a productive collaboration!

Great day with a math workshop class and painted cubes activity! Ss noticed the inside unpainted cubes were related to the size of the original.

Had the pleasure of observing 7th grade classrooms today doing thin slicing! Two step equations with decimals. The task was actually out of the BTC green book for elementary but very relevant to their current unit. #iteachmath #btcthinks

Got to see exponential decay in action with m&m and skittle face with letters face down totals after numerous tosses! Then compile the data in Desmos to make a model!

Enjoyed co-teaching a lesson on modeling distance changing field of view! Had student gather around for the scenario BTC style and it worked SO well! Interpreted, slope, and y intercept in context! #BTCthinks #iteachmath

♾️ using collaborative, whiteboards while exploring @desmos.bsky.social lesson on scaling state part 2. Accidentally used the warm-up scale of 1 cm to 40 to compare instead of the actual activity, 1 cm to 50 to compare, but the students still did great! #iteachmath #BTCthinks

Love seeing BTC with the @desmos Tiles lesson. What a perfect combination of valuing thinking and the process of learning. We had a lively debate on whether the lesson creator goofed and the scale factor should actually be 9. #BTCthinks #iteachmath

Loving the rich discussion with this Desmos activity in math workshop. Students wondered if it was too hot to play (hot topic in California) well discussing the meaning of slope in context!
