If only you lived in Indianapolis….

This might be a unique perspective in a blue bubble in a red state where funding formulas have changed to disadvantage complexity.

So sorry. I would say it is sort of rough in general right now everywhere in education. I definitely supplemented my teacher salary with on the side consulting and much of that is drying up. Would you consider working in a district? I feel like I still see lots of jobs as math instructional coaches.

I made it a goal that I wasn't going to go to math conferences on my own anymore and I've really focused on bringing colleagues with me. And it is totally worth it for things like this to pop up. Harshman's own Tina Ahlgren. www.instagram.com/reel/DKADGYy...

Yes! They would love it! I would love it.

My students love these so much. Saving the last one for the end of the year. There also so very impressed by the fact that it's in the graphing calculator! If you ever do a peak behind the scenes at your process they'd love to see it.

I wish I had some democratic senators to get them to hold the line. If you do, call them for me.

I need everyone who cares about education in cities or is involved in anyway in the complex history of charter schools, but especially those of us in Indianapolis to watch this. creativemornings.com/talks/tina-a...

That was fast! Sorry I missed you in Indiana (we had a school visioning day Saturday AM).

Enjoying Kimberly Rimbey’s BTC journey keynote at #ICTM (Indiana). I feel like this mirrors my own journey with BTC. Takeaways: Talk less. Especially at the beginning. Get the kids moving and thinking faster.

I'm excited to announce I am the 2023 Mathematics #PAEMST winner from Indiana.

My favorite thing about @illustratemath.bsky.social Geometry has been this amazing Flag Project. Especially lucky to live in the same city as Michael Green from
@flagsforgood.com who was gracious enough to come talk to our students. #MTBoS

And they really already have learned about sine and cosine because I teach IM and we have discovered them as ratios.....and they are going to geek out tomorrow when they see this objective.

And they have been all year asking about when they will learn about "themselves." (aka sine and cosine).

Well my honors Geometry 8th graders are so goofy and nerdy and one of them couldn't pronounce cosine and kept saying cuisine. So I nicknamed him cosine and his bestie sine.

In my Geometry classes this year, I named the standing groups after functions. Each day, I use a randomizer google sheet to sort into "function families." Three of the groups are sine, cosine, and tangent and each group has a cute little sign.

Maybe expect to hear more about this? I'd love to hear your other ideas.

I've been doing a little bit of work helping teachers outside of math use Math Language Routines in an effort to Optimize Output in their contents. I wrote a little about it here: sites.google.com/view/math-te...

Love this. I've also been thinking about cross content collaboration more and more. Working on sharing what my school community has done to essentially use Math Language Routines in other contents. Sharing with a blog here: sites.google.com/view/math-te...

Hi--I'm Ms. Hereth and I teach middle school math (or HS math to middle schoolers) in Indiana. Once I asked a math coach how to teach negative exponents and she said "The upstairs downstairs rule." That's the worst idea I've ever gotten in real life feedback.

I just figured out how to get back here! Lol. I'm here!
