My first article!!

 

Over the summer, I was approached and asked if I wanted the opportunity to submit an article to NCTM's Mathematics Teacher: Learning & Teaching Publication. It was such a great experience, both in the soul searching to write the content, and working with the editors to fine tune my message. I can't wait to write another!

Check in Questions

Image
This is a collection of check in questions for distance learning attendance. Please feel free to share more and I'll add them! Many of these are not my original ideas. Please let me know if they are yours and I will happily link your information.  Fun debates/preferences: Would you rather be a hero or a sidekick? Why? Cereal is soup. Prove me wrong. (<-- This prove me wrong part made for some funny responses) Was math invented or discovered? 100 prompts : From Kristen Fouss ' Desmosified Name Tents How do you draw an x (The colored line is the first line drawn)? Which is the BEST way to make a s'more? Which is the best Star Wars Movie (for May the 4th)? Google Form Where is the best place to sit at the movies? Why?

Who Am I?

September 6, 2016 Here it goes. Starting a blog has been something I have been considering for a while. Its value seems obvious just as we are told to reflect on our everyday. Why tonight? Well this amazing mathematician once told me that he learned more from his experience blogging for himself than for other people. Now I can't fathom having the same experience as him, but it was worth a shot. He posted on twitter that today was his 10 year anniversary for blogging, so starting today seemed like a valid choice. Who you ask? None other than Dan Meyer! I have recently started my new position as a high school math TOSA in Southern California. After living and teaching in Boise, Idaho for 4 years, California was a change. I am originally from SoCal and have only been gone for 9 years, but my experience in education has only happened out of state.

I was having trouble balancing this feeling with talking about what is meaningful to me.  However, just because my blog has been silent, doesn't mean I haven't been busy! Over the past few months I had the opportunity to do a webinar through West Ed and the California Department of Education. The webinar series was called "Speaking and Listening" and I was asked to present with a focus on mathematics. My great friend, Meg Rowe ( Arithmetallk ) joined me in this endeavor and it was an amazing experience. Here is the archive:  Calculating the Gift of Gab for Literacy in S...
