Kids can ask questions in the moment; can add and share files, invite others, link. Use as a birds eye view for exit slip or formative assessments. Acknowledge students in the moment without taking away from small groups you're working with. Improve culture of collaboration by giving and receiving detailed feedback from peers as well as teacher.

How to problem solve:
1. Do something
2. Do something else
3. Do a simpler problem (or maybe many simpler problems)
4. Learn from mistakes and dead ends
5. Don't stop just because the problem is solved. #myfavorites #TMC18 @nhoskee

For memory facts, need 12 consecutive right answers, every student has three answers but not necessarily the correct answer, forces collaboration and communication. Don't ruin a good thing by trying to grade it. Little prizes increase engagement.
Amie Albrecht @nomad_penguin- Valuing the Back of Math(s)
The front of math is neat, polished, orderly. The back of math is something we forget to tell students about. Focus on draft thinking, oral over written, self evaluated, no stakes. Mini-talks 9 times per year, 1 if you show up and try, 0 if you don't. Bit.ly/BackOfMath

Students can request it, I can suggest, only call when it's genuine, call early in the year. Hang clipboard in high traffic area, use highlighter when done, make calls when it's rejuvenating for you. Changes their affect in your classroom from 2 days to 2 months.
