If you're a math teacher, are you expected to know math content from algebra to calculus, and teach it comfortably? I'm getting back into areas of math that I need to review. If the kids see me struggle with some content and questions is this OK? Do math teachers ever struggle with their content, the way it is explained, or difficult problems? When I try to help my son with their high school math work, I feel like I'm in the middle of a movie that I've seen before but can't remember how it goes

I asked a new joiner to go get up to speed on specific aspects of a tool. They “read” the material but didn’t do any hands on work in the tool. I wasn’t thrilled about that and mentioned they needed to work with the tool. Later I tried showing another tool to get them to do some basic updates. They balked and said they needed time to learn tool hands on. So gave them some tutorials to work through. Again they read the material without using the tool. I don’t get it. Any insight?

What is the best way to enter tech? Almost all positions online posted for tech jobs say “experience in SaaS”

Recs for elegant, beautiful and warm everyday gloves?

Friends, any best practices while booking Vande Bharat flight from India to US? Website, best fares etc.

Quick poll - what industry do you work in?

Need some perspective -
Paralegals complain that I’m not assigning them work with enough notice. They’re copied when the work comes in and it falls within their typical responsibilities. Shouldn’t it be their job to anticipate what will be needed instead of relying on direction from me?

What should be my salary expectation?

Tech - angular
Yoe - 1.5 yrs

Hi everyone! I currently work in an outpatient setting doing individual therapy but am planning to leave my job. I have a handful of patients, some of which have been meeting with me consistently for over 2 years, that I suspect will want to remain in touch after I leave. Has anyone ever done this before? If so, what did it look like for you and the patient? Or do you advise against it and if so why? I’ve been researching this and can understand both sides of the argument. Thanks in advance!

Hate that I’ve spent so much time helping my retired clients who do consulting take advantage of loopholes in the CAREs Act while small businesses who are really struggling can’t get a PPP loan.

Recommendations for best protein bar? Looking for no sugar/fat and least amount of sodium if possible.

Why is Oxford’s decision deadline so early (Oct 27)? Really messes things up with all the other schools 🙄 anyone else experiencing weird deadlines - got any game plans for what you’d do if you were accepted to a school early but still waiting on a few December decisions ?

Best place to find freelance brand strategists for a smaller company? Are there any specific websites? Thanks so much in advance!

Finally a good Guinness commercial. Joe Montana brings his A-game.

Anyone know what the process is like at Stephens or what to expect? Have a intro call with a recruiter next week

Anyone have any leads in Dallas for SAE roles?

Hi,

Multiple job openings for different roles in Kronos/UKG. Check career page and DM me for referrals.

thanks

Looking to be proactive and start planning for online learning (I think that’s where my school is headed and if not can use it for those absent kids). What are some good ways to teach high school math virtually on a weekly basis? I want to create a consistent schedule so it’s also easier for the kids considering they’ll have some adjusting to do as well!

I have a medium to low 8th grade math class and an Algebra 1 curriculum would not be wise, as it needs to be more an integrated curriculum. Is this like PreAl with some minor Algebra sprinkles?!

Good luck to all of you as we start the second half of the year. Hope this half is better than the first!

Anyone have a solid 8th grade Math curriculum? I’m teaching is a mixture of Algebra 1, and Pre-Algebra. But I’m not sure how much to delve in polynomials and radicals- as they will get that in Alg 1.

Recently, one of my students sent me a Remind asking me to help them put something in Mathway for a graded assignment. When we talked about it, my student could not understand why using Mathway on a graded assignment is considered cheating. Have you notice more cheating since the Pandemic started?

I am about to attempt self paced Math for the first time in 5th grade. I am raw with this one. I need to teach more discovery learning and exploration, rather than rote standard algorithm practice. Has anyone tried a self paced math class in grades 4-6? Tips? Tricks? Thoughts? Encouragement?

Assessments: For those teaching hybrid with a smaller number of students at home, are you giving REAL assessments with no notes, calculators, etc. for those in person? After our school brought everyone back (mostly) I was determined that students needed to do their work without all the aids during tests. I keep hearing it isn’t fair if those at home can cheat and those in class can’t. What are your thoughts?

Step by step math support tools, websites or apps for upper elementary?

What advice do you have for teachers who may want to move up into an administration position?

Who in this group does groups with Eureka Math?

How are you all using calculators with class? What grade level do they become standard use? What are model/brand you using? Do you teach to do by hand first or the calculator first?

I will answer... standard starts at 8th grade pre algebra, we use TI 84s and I try to teach by hand first but then quick move to the calculators to help back up their answer.

What is the hardest part of being a math educator?
Also - what do you teach and how long have you been teaching? I'm been teaching HS math (this year calculus some years algebra I & II) for 5 years.

Anybody have a different word to use for ‘quiz?’ The kids can do the HW with me/on their own- but as soon as you pass out a quiz- everyone freezes. 🙄 I get test anxiety, seriously.

Our math teacher has come under fire recently for how grades are collected. Daily work is worth 4 points. It is scored using a rubric. Tests are worth 100. Test corrections are worth 1/2 a point. There may occasionally be quizzes.
