Obviously don't share if you don't feel comfortable, but how many of us in here are men vs how many are women? They always say there are more male math teachers (I'm one) but I work with mostly other women, out of 6 math teachers in our school there are two men.

Male math teacher here! All the math teachers at our school are men. I wonder if it depends on the demographics of your area/school.

Teaching has always been dominated by women and that is part of the reason the pay is so low.

Female teacher, 45 years, live my kids!

We only have 3 male teachers out of i

In my department of 20 we have 4 male teachers.

9 math teachers in our department: 4 men and 5 (including myself) women.

In my math department, there are 5 total teachers. 4 of us are women.

The m to f ratio in my 18 yr career has been near 1:1 in every math department I've been in, while every other department around me has been closer to 1:3.

So in my experience, it's not all dudes, just more dudes than the other departments.

I should add, I'm a dude.

Male math teacher here

6 men 9 women
It shifts every year. Men tend to teach the higher grade math classes. Although the Calculus teacher is Female currently. Algebra 2 is mostly men.

Non-binary…. There are no two genders 🤬

I found using GoFormative’s free version to be very helpful in teaching new topics to my students. I embed videos I make demonstrating how to complete a question, next I ask them to complete an example showing work, and then the next question they type their answer so it automatically alerts them to see if they answered correctly. It can be used live in a meet and on an independent virtual day. In my google meets, I’m able to give feedback on any question they have trouble with in real time.

I’m teaching summer school at a high school, and the co-principals have asked me to focus on only 2 to 3 chapters worth (what they are calling “2-3 standards” in the eight days of summer semesters. However, they are also asking me to give kids the midterm and/or final at the end of each period, which covers 4-5 chapters each semester. My question is this: “Is it legal by California Ed code for the administration to ask me to teach less than each entire semester, yet test each whole semester?”
