Hi all!
This is the first year in many I am not teaching core math. I'm currently teaching Physics, Comp Sci, and Robotics. For the decade prior I taught mostly Alg 1, Precalc, and AP Calc.
#NCTMDC23 was great, even though I was only there for 24 hours :/

It did not pass the test. Hashtags don’t work in BlueSky to make it easy to follow the collective conversation of #NCTMDC23
Twitter worked.
Hello!
We, like many of you, are fresh of #NCTMDC23 and back at work, simultaneously invigorated and exhausted.
In a little over 48 hours, we are going to run our SECOND EVER #MathMemeChat.
🕕p eastern (5p cdt) - Wed 1 Nov
Come discuss our October #MathMeme collection
And here is a video of my Ignite talk at NCTM on how my search for belonging shaped my work as a math teacher: bit.ly/bw23ignite. Transcript at www.bobsonwong.com/teaching/nct... #NCTMDC23 #MTBoS
If you missed my session at #nctmDC23 (or weren't in DC but like to play along from home), the handout and materials for "Inquiry Strategies with Technology" are all available at bit.ly/InquiryStrat...

#NCTMDC23 is a wrap!
Did you attend #NCTMDC23 ? If so, consider blogging about the sessions you attended so we learn from each other!

Giving an Ignite talk at NCTM was definitely one of the highlights of my professional career as a math teacher! #NCTMDC23 #MTBoS
Conference time in D.C.! Here's what I've been up to all week at #NCTMRC, #NCTMDC23, and now #ASSM:

“Number sense isn’t acquired, it’s developed." This quote from Skip at #NCTMDC23 made me think about how important it is to honor what assets students are bringing into the classroom.
Giving a workshop on promoting mathematical speaking and writing at #NCTMDC23 was such a blast! #MTBoS

Happy to be in Dr. Kate Marin’s session this morning! Lots of good discussion about what small children CAN do- we are naming the practices attached to their amazing thinking. #NCTMDC23 #IteachMath #MTBoS
Hey #MTBoS folks attending #NCTMDC23: @NCTM is holding an initial meeting for people interested in forming affinity groups at 12 pm in Room 204c in the convention center. (See the NCTM app for a reminder.) Maybe we can get an #MTBoS group picture?
Hey #NCTMDC23 - welcome to DC! We are so glad to host you. Come hear more about the local K-5 math work of DC Public Schools. So proud of how we are DREAMing big excited for our team to share.
Friday, 1-2 in 202A.
Thanks President Dykema for the invite!
Safe travels to all of you heading to DC for #NCTMDC23 #NCSMDC23
Have a great time. Learn lots and share with the rest of us 😊

Loved @mathematize4all.bsky.social’s session at #NCTMDC23 research conference! She shared the danger of focusing only on the deficits of students identified with special needs and the divides between special education research and mathematics education research.

As a Californian visiting the Museum of American History, my first visit is to the Latino Gallery…of course.

Visiting some museums before the #NCTMDC23 fun hits tonight.
This conference will be the TEST if BlueSky can really replace Twitter as my professional learning community building tool.
[Updated Post] I'm not at #NCTMDC23 this year so instead I updated all of my 60s #geometry construction videos using @Desmos Geometry 2.0. Watch them here and have fun constructing your own:

Excellent suggestions!
ALSO don't hesitate to attend sessions by speakers you've never heard of (maybe me?😉)...but seriously, the program committee has selected excellent speakers/ topics, you could learn something new, extend your network & enjoy a less-crowded room.

I'm a third of this ... come on over
