Thank you in advance for participating in my informal survey: Should students ninth grade and above be tested (standardized) in basic facts (the four operations) without the use of a calculator?

@ussoccer Hi. I ordered a jersey 3 months ago and it has not arrived. I also have tried to contact customer service several times over the last 3 months and have received 0 replies. What’s going on?

My son is obsessed with mazes and this seems like an nice opportunity to foster his interest in recreational mathematics. Any suggestions for resources for mazes (preferably digital or reproducible) for the preschool set? #iteachmath #MTBoS #elemmathchat

@ddmeyer @howie_hua @timricchuiti People are posting to #iteachmath and #MTBoS on TikTok. Maybe we can move some of the twitter chats of the past to TikTok or IG lives? That feels more like a webinar, but that seems to be the only way to bring that aspect of Twitter to those social media platforms.

A7: I agree with @joanna_hayman6 less edu jargon would go along way to increasing family and student involvement and access to the IEP process. Also focusing on implementing ways to have students lead their own IEP meetings. #SwDMathChat

A6: We have IEP coordinators that work with families to advocate for students who struggle to advocate for themselves. They also take a lot of the paperwork/bureaucracy off of the teacher’s caseloads. #SwDMathChat

@joanna_hayman6 @SwDMathChat Zoom as a main Avenue of communication hasn’t helped any IMO. #swdmathchat

A1: We generally have very good relationships with families at our school, because it has taken a lot of work and advocacy to get their children to our school. So our families are pretty committed to our school community. #SwDMathChat
