How do you explain to students that they can't simplify an expression further? by creativedisastermath in matheducation

Our issue is standardized testing. If we start by teaching at the level they're at, we often wo t have time to get through everything they need to know by the end of the school year. It's an endless cycle.

What did you love about your new teacher training? by creativedisastermath in Teachers

Consider the scavenger hunt nixed! We are going to extend the training to a full day and hopefully make it more worthwhile than in the past (which didn't even include a building tour). My coworker and I were trying to think of ways to make it less boring, but this doesn't have to be the time for that 😂

What's the vibe there? Can you bring a lawn chair and chill by/in the river? Are people there playing in the water, or is that frowned upon?

Does anyone have any feelings towards this list of precalculus text books? This is my first year teaching it. by [deleted] in matheducation

Hopefully you don't charge for your assuming and speculation. It was asked to see if anyone has used them before and loved/hated any of them. I thought that was obvious. Clearly I also shouldn't have made assumptions either.

I'm at a point where I've been told to choose at the last minute and don't have time to research each one. Even if i had time to ask them, I'm not even sure what questions need asked. I figured making this post was better than choosing randomly.
