16x24 = 4x96 so I would start with 4x100 and then subtract 4x4

That sounds amazing! Wish I was closer.

Post sounds good to me. I get where skeet came from, but to my middle school teacher ears it’s too much like yeet. 😅

I better pay attention to the game… watching one of my former 6th graders play college ball :) Great chatting with you all! #ElemMathChat

as a kid my thought was “teachers are stupid” Now I know they were products of their environments but that doesn’t excuse not trying to be a better human each day. #ElemMathChat

A1: Honestly, no, I was always very good at math but I remember my classmates feeling that way, especially girls. #ElemMathChat

And I remember a teacher seeing me as an individual (instead of just one of the Whalens) #ElemMathChat

Good evening #ElemMathChat I’m a middle school math teacher in Missouri, posting from a college basketball game

So we obviously don’t say we are tweeting. What do we say? Flying? What do we call a post? Maybe a cloud. #edusky #iteachmath

I so wish I could be there! Especially since I’m only two hours from KC. I will be “at” the virtual conference. Maybe I can find a way to pull off both. #edusky #iteachmath

Car line probably, but I like both. I love having a chance to say hi to the parents and tell them how awesome their kids are.

Fellow teachers -

I just published three new and free templates at www.figma.com/@k12education.

They are math games ideal for grades 4-6: Place Value Bingo, The Factor Game, and Fill the Grid. If you need engaging math games on place value, factors, multiples, or prime numbers, check these out.

A0: Middle school teacher at the moment, have been k-8 math interventionist and teacher, love all things math and love the snow and sunshine combo we’ve had for several days #elemmathchat

This week on #MSChat we will discuss the infinite of an adolescent - a vast, uncharted personality where identity, dreams, and potential stretch beyond an event horizon. We hope to see you THURSDAY at 8:30 pm ET! (note the slight time change) #EdChat #MiddleSchool #Cosmos

NCEA = National Catholic Education Association, attendance varies from 4,000 to almost 10,000 depending on location. It’s in Orlando this year so I imagine it will be on the larger size.

99 days until #NCEA2025 and I can’t wait!

I am a featured presenter this year, leading a session on Making Math Make Sense.

Hope to see you there!

These are great questions! Maybe I need to go see Wicked. 😬 #mschat I’m heading out to focus on the game. Go Irish!
