This year I've taken on the #teach180 challenge.  The challenge is to post one tweet per day showing a glimpse inside your classroom.  I'm also putting the tweets together in a biweekly blog so that I can share the resources that I'm tweeting about. Day 161:  Today we had our weekly cumulative quiz.  Only 3 more weeks worth of these :) Weekly quiz today. Only 4 more before final exams #teach180 pic.twitter.com/VlAWBeNGvR — Jennifer Abel (@abel_jennifer) May 10, 2017 Day 162:  Today in geometry, we practiced constructing parallel and perpendicular lines  using ExploreLearning's Gizmo.

Week 13 quiz today #teach180 pic.twitter.com/EzlgyBs60o — Jennifer Abel (@abel_jennifer) December 15, 2016 Day 72:  Today in geometry, we reviewed lines in slope-intercept form using ExploreLearning's Gizmo.  This is in preparation for working with the equations of parallel and perpendicular lines while reviewing for our midterm. Today in #GeometryChat we reviewed slope-intercept form of line with @ExploreLearning #teach180 pic.twitter.com/bdt6B9ltJF — Jennifer Abel (@abel_jennifer) December 16, 2016 Day 73:  Today in algebra 2, we played +Desmo...

This year I've taken the #teach180 challenge and am attempting to tweet one picture from my classroom every day.  So far this has helped to hold me accountable for planning lessons that have at least one picture worthy moment per day.  I find myself being more mindful about opportunities for student engagement.  I'm also putting these posts together so that I can share the resources that I have collected and created.  Hopefully you will find something useful here. Day 21:  Today the students practiced writing biconditionals and good definitions in geometry while playing a childhood board game.  I wrote more about using board games in class here . Today in #geometrychat we practiced biconditionals with board games #teach180 pic.twitter.com/zjvDIQPNIp — Jennifer Abel (@abel_jennifer) September 28, 2016 Day 22:  On this day, my algebra 2 students practiced distributing and factoring out greatest common factors using +Desmos .   Here is a l...
