Number of People Per Representative in the US (1789-2017)

How many people does each US representative represent? How does this compare to other OECD nations?

I notice there is little room for sensemaking or almost any of the math practices.

I wonder how much flexibility of understanding students will have if the concept is applied in a different way.

I also notice it describes many of my lessons for a large chunk of my career.

Me as a middle school teacher: how come these parents aren't holding these kids accountable to do their hw?

Me as a middle school parent: it is so awesome that my son is able to finish all his work at school.

True story🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

You can find a proper subset of #iTeachMath ♾️ educators in this list:
bsky.app/starter-pack...

(2/2) And I know square numbers are separated
by increasing odds, so it will continue to be perfect squares.
Trying to think what I do with any/all of that.

I am seeing if you take the first number on left and divide it evenly between other terms on the left side, you get the right side.
Also notice first number on the left side is always square number. (1/n)

Does this pattern (whatever it is) continue? If not, when does it first falter and how did you find the breakdown? If so, how might one justify it to a middle/high school student?

1+2 = 3
4+5+6 = 7+8
9+10+11+12 = 13+14+15

PS: what other questions might you ask? 🧮

Sooo feel that. In 2021 I taught 3 weeks of summer school to get my fix.

Hey #Edusky, does anyone have a starter pack for finding early elementary school teachers? I’d love to connect with more teachers of #firsties but K or 2 teachers would be great too.

Looking for advice: teaching rates to gr 8 next. Always seems to be a v challenging concept for Ss. Engagement is not the issue, any ideas to help Ss develop ways of calculating Unit Rates and finding best buys? #iteachmath #edusky #mtbos

1/3 Hey #iteachmath #mtbos Community. I'd love your support.

I'm creating a LOT of content connected to my job in MN (hosted by the MN Council of Teachers of Math)-webinars, etc...connected to MN Math standards. BUT lots might be enjoyed by those outside of MN www.youtube.com/channel/UCJT...

A bar drops down and says 100%. 20% is added on.

👋 Wherever math teachers are talking about teaching math, that's where I wanna be. Tomorrow I'm teaching % increase & decrease here in Oakland, CA. Tell me what students find hard here. What am I walking into? #iteachmath

Just did!

Correct, Incorrect, Incomplete examples Period: Name: Graphing 2-Variable Inequalities 3x + 4y < 24 3(0) + 4y = 24 y = 6 3x + 4(0) = 24 x = 8 Test point: (0, 0) 3(0) + 4(0) < 24 0 < 24 True 2x – 6y < 18 2x – 6y < 18 -2x -2x -6y < -2x + 18 -...

I've been making CII (Correct, Incorrect, Incomplete) tasks to deepen students' understanding of particular topics. First, they discuss the Correct work in groups and I ask them questions. They do the Incorrect column and we debrief, then they finish the Incomplete. #MTBoS #iteachmath bit.ly/3YXGpW2

No time this year (teaching topic this week), but this book offers an interesting introduction to scale factor.

Gotta get a lesson built someday.

Thank you!!

Thanks for trying to be helpful. My question is that it seems no hashtag exists for cmc or the conference. I know how to pin. I need to find the thing to pin. If someone can help me find it, I will pin it.

Thanks. I cannot find any feed re this

#iteachmath #mtbos
Still learning the platform and hashtags don't seem exactly the same. Trying to find conference posts for CMC Central Symposium coming up march 8-9. Can someone help me connect? #cmccentral
