I love that! I had one grad class that encouraged us to write tasks, but I wish the professor had also had us share the tasks on a discussion board for feedback and to build our collection.

I think that's one of the things I am really loving about this book too - there's a chapter on procedural tasks and how to elevate even that type of process.

It wasn't until I started getting involved in social media that I started seeing classroom teachers actively engaged in writing tasks.

Agree on Don Steward - some amazing tasks there! And I also agree that experience plays a part, but is it currently addressed at all? I would say that for a good part of my career, I thought that tasks were up to the textbook writers, not the everyday classroom teacher.

True - Most of my best growth as a teacher was due to social media.

And I recognize that because of the global connections we've made due to social media, we are exposed to ideas outside of our geographic area. And when I'm thinking of good problems, my go-to's tend to be some of the UK sites

I totally understand the time issue. Even once you are out in the workforce and you have the content, students and pedagogy, there's still the time issue :)

I purchased it on Kindle - it's been VERY thought provoking! I hope you enjoy it!

Or is it just who I follow? Am I just in a bubble due to the experiences I've had online and being able to connect with so many amazing educators?

All valid points. But at what point do we engage with that discussion? It seems like there should be a point where task design is part of the journey / training.

I am currently reading Mathematical Tasks by Chris McGrane and Mark McCourt. I also follow several UK maths teachers and really enjoy the tasks they share. It makes me wonder about task design - is it part of the teacher training program or just related to who I follow?

Does anyone know if there is a collection of error analysis or spot the error problems for HS Geometry? Thanks! #iteachmath #mtbos #mathsky

Flipped Math might be another resource to check out. I know our Calculus teacher has used it.

The ST was assigned to this teacher and then took over after spring break. It worked really well and I saw a lot of growth in the ST over the semester.

We were really lucky this past semester that we had a student teacher that took over during maternity leave.... but something like ATA where they already have videos and notes and assignments might not be a bad idea depending on what you are teaching

Maybe not ideal, but would the school purchase something like ATA that comes with videos?

There is at least one Desmos activity similar to this

Okay - this is BRILLIANT - thank you! I always go to my previous year's planner and/or my copy of the student notebook. Putting post-it's there would be perfect. I could have a stack of post-it's to jot notes and then move to them to the notebook as needed. Thank you!

Drive drives me crazy TBH - I have multiple Gmail accounts and it's so difficult to switch ownership between them. I think I'm in one account and then it's switched me to another one... and it's a pain to organize!

LOL - the idea behind an electronic copy is good, but I don't follow through with it well :(

I need a better way to organize ideas, tasks, & activities for various lessons/chapters... I've tried electronic and I always forget it even exists - out of sight, out of mind? I've tried paper and that works ok, but maybe need to organize it better? What do you do? #mtbos #iteachmath #mathsky

I am having to write a tech-integrated lesson plan for my EdTech class and those are ones I've used with success in the past, but curious about other favorites out there!

Geometry teachers - what are some of your favorite tech explorations? Here are ones I have already: - Geogeobra - parallel lines and transversals - Geogebra - properties of parallelograms - Geogebra - trig ratios - Desmos - angles in polygons

The course I'm in isn't subject specific - it's required for all of the C&I programs as part of the general ed coursework. So far, we've blogged, made a podcast, did an LMS, made an infographic... it has potential to be a good course, but I'm not crazy about it yet

I am vaguely remembering someone (years ago), compiling a geometry problem set book based on the Exeter materials plus maybe some other materials? Does this sound familiar to anyone? #mathsky #mtbos #iteachmath

Hey @ddmeyer.bsky.social - I was going to use some of the 3act tasks in my Geometry class and many of the "get the goods" links are dead due to the 101qs site being down. Do you have them available anywhere else? If not, no biggie, just thought I'd ask! :) Thanks!
