Very excited to welcome a new math manipulative to the middle school landscape!! Meet the Integer Beaded Number Line.Thanks @DidaxEducation for adding a concrete option to support students understanding with integers & operations. didax.com/integer-beaded… #teachmath #mtbos #math

"Smudge" problems, where we show "student" work and ask students to fill in the smudges But then importantly, craft a conversation about what the strategies have in common What do you think these help build? bit.ly/mifh2mx #MathIsFigureOutAble #MTBoS #ITeachMath
It's going to be an energizing, joyful day of professional learning. One week to go!
I can't wait! See you there!
