Who else should have graded all the things over break but hasn’t?🙋🏻‍♀️ I’ve enjoyed binging entire seasons of shows on Netflix, eating good food, enjoying great company, and taking ALL the naps. Sometimes, it’s OK to just let things wait. Sure, I’ll have some major Sunday night stress, but. It. Will. Be. Okay. Self care can be difficult to fit in, so don’t be sorry for one second if you didn’t work over your break! #iteachmath #iteachgebra #mtbos #mathteacher #mathteachersofinstagram #mathteachertribe #iteach678 #iteachhighschool #highschoolmathteacher #teacherspayteachers #teachersfollowteachers
Looking at the first unit of Algebra 1 😍😍. I’ve worked really hard and I’m so proud to say that I finally have the entire unit up in my store-everything is available individually or in a bundle. Everything is totally print and go, and completely worked out answer keys are included for every single resource (none of that, “here’s only the answer, but I’m not going to show you how I got there” answer key BS). I made a blog post with LOTS of pictures, if you’d like to take a closer look inside any of these notes and I explain in depth how I carry out this first unit of the year. 🔗 I’m liking the blog post and the bundle in my bio! Here’s to one of many units! 🎉 #iteachmath #iteachgebra #mtbos #mathteacher #mathteachersofinstagram #mathteachertribe #iteach678 #iteachhighschool #highschoolmathteacher #teacherspayteachers #teachersfollowteachers
Keeping things fresh is super important, so I like to do daily “recap warm-ups” with my Algebra 1 students. I give them 3-5 minutes to work independently at the beginning of each class and then let students present. This is one of the most impactful routines I use in my classroom. These can also be used as exit slips or mini-quizzes! 🔗 Link in bio! #iteachmath #iteachgebra #mtbos #mathteacher #mathteachersofinstagram #mathteachertribe #iteach678 #iteachhighschool #highschoolmathteacher #teacherspayteachers #teachersfollowteachers
How did you spend your extra hour? I woke up and made a great set of notes that is based off of preventing common mistakes and misconceptions for combining like terms! I find when there’s meaning behind WHY we do something, it just sticks SOOOO much better! This will be up later today! #iteachmath #iteachgebra #mtbos #mathteacher #mathteachersofinstagram #mathteachertribe #iteach678 #iteachhighschool #highschoolmathteacher #teacherspayteachers #teachersfollowteachers
Color coding is one of the easiest ways to help students SLOOOOOWWWW down when doing problems that require reading. It also makes it much less intimidating and helps to reinforced the skill. Here’s an example of how I use it for translating expressions, equations and inequalities. I find that students have much longer retention when color coding is used, which is super important in math. I just added this set of notes to my TPT store.

Have you ever found that your students can totally solve an equation but checking their work totally confuses them? Checking work is SUCH an important part of math, and I make it a priority from the start. That said, I want to make sure students actually understand WHAT they’re checking. Do your students actually know what a solution IS? You might be surprised how few students can actually explain what a solution is. To start promoting this concept, I use this duo of notes. I ❤️ these notes that I use each year in algebra. I just added them to my store! The links in my bio. It’s 50% off for today! #iteachmath #iteachgebra #mtbos #mathteacher #mathteachersofinstagram #mathteachertribe #iteach678 #iteachhighschool #highschoolmathteacher #teacherspayteachers #teachersfollowteachers
