Stop saying what black and brown kids can't do. This is a campus that is all black and brown from the kids to the teachers on the south side of Houston. Look at this growth from one interim staar test to the next for 6th and 7th grade. I'm so proud of them! #iteachmath

Working on a consulting project and taking a look at how 2nd graders are seeing instruction for subtraction. I hated "borrowing" when I was a kid. Still do. So I like this model. A lot.

The T said she's having difficulty teaching surface area.
I got you!
Tell the kids to bring cereal boxes from home. We can do vol, area, and SA all in one! Break the box down and let them investigate. I grabbed a box from Ms. Bobbi and showed her how it will work. 💯 #iteachmath

2. Lil girl asked me what I do? I said I help your T make sure math is exciting for you. She says, "Oh you a boss huh?" No baby but thank you! 😂💜🥲

Walking with AP to obs 7th grade. T says his morning has been crazy. Exhaustion all over his face. I asked how can I help? His reply was he just needed a few copies. Done.
You might say why wasn't he prepared and that's valid but at that moment he needed to be lifted. #iteachmath

Been in my head about a podcast I'm a guest of later this evening where I'm speaking about how powerful it is when we feel good about the math we teach. In a Ts class now and I hear him say, "Hol up. Lemme cook right now."
And I'm no longer nervous cause he just inspired me!

He said he didn't like math. That he was never good at it.
