quite a setup - one that makes those in-person days feel even more important
Sometimes the seeds of comunidad are planted in brief, intentional moments that grow long after we’re apart.

A2: I think of the first day of class as the beginning of building a learning community, so we spend most of the time finding out about each other as people. Names & what we want from the class… but we start first with a quick #Notice & #Wonder or another image chat.

I love the connection you’re making between math and language.
I’m curious how might that connection also open opportunities for students to build comunidad and learn from one another’s perspectives?

Students are the life of the classroom!

#edusky #TODOSslowchat
Grow comunidad by making student voices the heartbeat of the classroom. Celebrate ideas, connect learning to our lives, and build trust through routines where every student feels seen and valued. 💛 #MathEquity #iTeachMath #EduSky

Q3: I am teaching two new to me courses and the students and I only meet face to face every other week. I have no idea how I will build meaningful community when our interactions will be so infrequent #TODOSslowchat

So important to consider ALL of our students' identities. Thanks for sharing these amazing resources!
#edusky #mathsky #TODOSslowchat
Several resources for en comunidad in the math classroom:
Choosing to See, Seda and Brown

Q2: I always do a collaborative math task. When I was in K-12, I did origami boxes and Mayan numbers (from @rickbrlw on Twitter…I think). Now I do usually do a pattern task to get future teachers thinking about how to work together and challenge what math classrooms can look like #TODOSslowchat
Q2: What is one activity you do with your students on the first day of math class and why is it important?

love this! math is a language too.

#TODOSslowchat
My first lesson teaches math like it was an English class, using parts of speech to identify analogs in mathematics.

I want it to empower kids who don't consider themselves "math people" to see that if they understand language, they can understand algebra

And that's a wrap! Thank you for joining us and good luck with the new school year! Feel free to continue replying throughout the day, as this is a #TODOSslowchat.

maybe a #slowchat to keep up asynchronous engagement?

#edusky, what are your thoughts?

having multiple sections learning at the same pace is such a struggle. remembering to give ourselves grace to meet our Ss where they are!

#edusky #mathsky #TODOSslowchat
I anticipate having to do a lot of differentiation this year. I expect to have three sections of algebra 2, and I may not be able to keep them all at the same pace. I will have a lot of enrichment (for those ahead) and support materials (for those taking their time) at hand.

Community college: developmental math. Challenge: getting them to believe they can understand this stuff, that it's not too late and 6 new teachers. I'm printing out horiz and vert # lines from mathequalslove.net to put up in those four classrooms and get 'em in for my 1:1 tutoring :)

Thanks for bringing up this crucial partnership. University-school district partnerships also create pipelines for student teachers. How can we support?
#edusky #mathsky #TODOSslowchat
Given today’s uncertain climate in regards to funding, I’m concerned about the impact on teacher and administrator math professional learning. I’m a big advocate of university-school district partnerships. Will they survive?
