ONE GOOD THING
onegoodthingteach.wordpress.com
every day may not be good, but there is one good thing in every day
check out the site! if youd like to become a
contributor, take a card and let us know!
Teaching is taxing. Sometimes it can be tough to notice, let alone remember, the small but important victories - those tiny teacher and student interactions that powerfully shape our classroom.
There was a teacher who, at the end of every day, wrote down a single memorable moment on a slip of paper and put it into a jar on her desk.
This community blog is our jar - to share and celebrate those stories of success.
Sometimes my one good thing is so easy to find. Sometimes I have to think about my day for quite awhile. And thensometimesit hits me like a ton of bricks and Im reminded how good it is to focus on the positive and let the negative roll off you - Rebecka Peterson

Visual Patterns How is the pattern growing? What will the next step look like? Check out VisualPatterns.org to find a variety of patterns (linear, exponential and more!) to help your students practice predicting and generalizing. What is the equation?
MATH TALKS WHAT IS 3.75 X 32?
3 x 32 = 96 To multiply 0.75 and 32, I kept doubling
0.75 until its easy. So, 0.75 doubled is 1.5, and add another pair of 0.75 would give me 3.
Since it took 4 sets of 0.75 to make 3, then there are 8 of these sets in 32.
3 x 8 = 24 Add this 24 to 96, I get 120.
WHICH IS GREATER, 86 x 38 or 88 x 36?
I did a simpler problem. I made up numbers that would add up to 8, then I also multiply them. (I do this because I notice that if the two original problems were addition problems, then their answers would be the same.)
4 x 4 = 16; and 4 + 4 = 8 3 x 5 = 15, and 3 + 5 = 8 2 x 6 = 12, and 2 + 6 = 8 So I notice that the further apart the two
numbers are, the smaller their product. 86 x 38 are closer together, therefore their product is greater.
Check out MathTalks.net to find a variety of prompts to have your students build their number sense and reasoning skills.

A Day in the Life
DITLife.tumblr.com
Would you like to tell the world that teachers jobs
don't end at 2:00 when the bell rings?
We want the world to know exactly what it is like to walk a mile in our shoes.
Some of our shoes drive a long commute while others walk across campus to get to class. Certain teachers shoes are
tied tight to race from one class to the next as they try to beat their students. Others have a change of shoes as they get
out on the track or court or field to coach. All of us have a different story to tell, but we all have tired feet by the end of
the day!

I was observed by my math
coach during my second and
third period class. My
principal popped in for about
10-15 minutes for each class
and was helping some students during my second
period class. The math team later got a shout out
at the end of the day for incorporating literacy
techniques the students are used to using in their
English classes (more on that later.I hope).

7:00 PM: There are about 30
parents in attendance. We
give them a presentation
about our boards numeracy
goal and show them a video of
students in our board learning through problem
solving and open questions. After the video, we
actually hand out chart paper and markers and ask
the parents, How much do you spend at Tim
Hortons in a year?... Our presentation was only
supposed to be 20-30 minutes but the parent
group was so engaged, they ended up going until
almost 8:00.

Just a normal Tuesday in my
life as a math teacher at a
boarding school in Amman,
Jordan.
This morning, a student asks me to tie their bow
tie for them, which is actually a fairly common
occurrence. I have to say, bringing the bow tie to
our school has been one of my proudest
accomplishments.
Read about what a day is like for all types of
educators in all types of schools around the world.
Elementary, Middle, High schools
Rural, Suburban, Urban districts
Boarding, Christian, Independent schools
Teachers, Coaches, Club Advisors
Share the story of your entire day from
lesson planning in the shower before sunrise
to grading at the kitchen table at night.

Too many kids say, I hate math.
We write Math Munch to help more kids find something mathematical that they love.
The internet is full of amazing mathematical things: art, games, people, stories, videos and more.
But you have to know where to look.
Each week we gather three great math finds and share them in a blog post on Math Munch.
We hope that you and your students will enjoy exploring the site and finding some new math to love.
Bon appetit!

Twitter Chats
Twitter Chats are one-hour weekly chats held on Twitter. There are many different types of Twitter Chats, from general education chats to book chats. And there are math subject chats for everything from Middle School Math to Calculus and Statistics! To follow a chat, just type the hashtag (ex: #MTBoS) into a Twitter search (on Twitter.com or using a program like Tweetdeck). The moderator of the chat will ask questions and people will respond. As long as everyone uses the hashtag, anyone can follow the conversation!

TMC: Twitter Math Camp A conference run by teachers, for teachers.
July 23-26, 2015 at Harvey Mudd College in Claremont, CA
On a number line. Justin Aion: Ready to line dance! Middle school teacher, story teller.
Live Tweeting the experience :)
For most of the year, the #MTBoS is scattered across the globe. Were an online community after all. But for a few days in July we have a chance to get together for face to face interactions. There is a wealth of information that people bring to the conference, and even more ideas are sparked that continue in conversations and projects beyond the weekend.
