Remember you can always use the nomination form and I will put it in my next post!
Let’s start with a super happy post from Elissa (@misscalcul8). Sometimes it’s nice to reminded that, yes, this job can sometime rock. And it couldn’t be rocking for a nicer person! I bet making lessons like these is definitely helping the positive trend!
Man, I love books. Beth (@algebrasfriend) was nice enough to share some that are great for any age! (I added The Most Magnificent Thing by Ashley Spires because I LOVE reading that book to my classes. Look at this cute video of it!)
E (@cheesemonkeysf) is a pro at turning everything into a good set of Talking Points. Her newest one has the theme of (loosely translated): Keep Calm and Carry On; You Can Do This.
(I never know if I should use someone’s name if they don’t use it on Twitter. Thoughts?)
Pam (@pamjwilson) has a easy way of getting students to slow down and think about graphs.
If you need some logic games, make sure you visit Julie’s (@fractionfanatic) blog. So many good ones that are new to me!
I found Math PD for Substitute Teachers fascinating, both the idea of having PD for that and what Allison (@allison_krasnow) chose to do for it.
Scroll, scroll, scroll and you will see the most genius idea ever from Jennifer (@MrsCookKHS): ZIP TIE PENCIL POUCHES TO DESKS. I feel like it is so genius that everyone must already know it but me.
This has nothing to do with math or school, but it made me laugh. 
And now for some starred tweets:

@mathymeg07 @MTMambo Had this idea based on your radian slices. Not sure how good an idea it is… pic.twitter.com/hqpjaQ0NBE

“I’ll know if you’ve read your syllabus carefully.”
“How will you know?”
“I’ll know.”
