Monday Must Reads: Volume 95

It’s the first Monday of the new semester for me, and I have to be honest that I wasn’t thrilled to set my alarm last night for a day full of professional development meetings today. I know that I’ll get my teaching energy and enthusiasm back tomorrow, though, when I find myself in a room full of teenagers again.

To help get in back-to-school mode, here’s a new volume of Monday Must Reads. This is my weekly-ish attempt at capturing the creative ideas shared by other (mostly) math teaches on twitter. I hope you find at least one or two ideas that you can adapt for your own classroom.

Vocabulary is definitely an area of teaching where I could improve. I really like this idea from Austin Coleman of posting weekly vocabulary that you want to focus on.
