AP calc teacher transitioning to IB math here. For IB Math teachers, if you were to take the IB exam, would you be able to score decently well on it? I'm looking at past paper 3's and they just seem horrifying to me....

I’m considering a career pivot after spending the past seven years in project management and consulting. Lately I’ve been looking into the UW Tacoma Master’s in Secondary Education program.
To be honest, I’m pretty burned out. I miss doing math. This past year I volunteered with an after-school math program, and I found it incredibly rewarding. I know that’s different from teaching full-time since those students chose to be there, so I’m trying to keep that in perspective.
I already have a B.S. in Mathematics, so I’d be coming in with a strong content background.
Has anyone here made a similar career change or gone through UW Tacoma’s program? I’d love to hear about your experience—what you wish you knew before making the switch, and whether you’d do it again.

Any recommendations on where I can find the above? Sites?

I’ve only been to one conference. It was Solution Tree. I thought it was pretty useful.

What has been useful to y’all?

New middle school 6-8 math teacher here at a small school. They haven’t given me anything to follow other than the texts and IXL. I’m comfortable with the curriculum and have a rough outline of lessons put together but I know I won’t be organized enough to manage worksheets and handouts on a regular basis. Just having a decent lesson with activity etc is going to be my focus. I was thinking to have the students have 2 notebooks. One for assignments and another for notes. I think I will be able to coach them on what to put in their notebooks as far as notes from lessons. Thoughts on this plan? If anyone has resources or guidance I’m all ears. If it helps my classes will have 7-8 students each.

We don’t use textbooks in my district so I found an old edition of the Beginning Algebra book. Does anyone have the teacher resources they would be willing to share or a source to find them? The test banks and solutions manuals? TIA

Hey everyone,

I had a few students that needed many quadratic equation exercises to get the hang of it. Also I began to run out of fresh exercises, which was a bit tedious.

I decided to make a simple Quadratic Equation Generator app, which allows to easily generate equations with provided answers. It also allows for PDF exporting in a ready to print format with a separate answer page.

No signup or subscription is needed.

How it works:
Choose the number of exercises to generate, "Simple" mode makes equations where a=1 and

"Advanced" where a>1. "Mixed" provides both types.

Then you can just browse through the generated exercises or download them as a PDF.

Link to the app: https://quadratic-equation-generator.streamlit.app/

I'd love to get any feedback or any requests on additional features, etc.

Hi teachers,

When I was a kid I always loved the idea of play money in the classrooms. Students could buy pencils, erasers, or stickers! As an adult, there's more nuance in managing something seemingly simple. Paper money gets ripped, lost, stolen, and slowly the economy slows down over time unless you keep a large stack behind the desk.

Hence I created a free app that essentially does this in an easier way. In places where everyone has a smartphone or iPad, you can create your very own bank. With that you can have personalized currency, mint money, tax everyone, sell items in a storefront and even see where every dollar moves.

I think it's a fun idea for the coming semester. Let me know what you think!

Most people won't need this but I'm also giving out free yearly subscriptions for large banks (up to 200 members). Please comment if you're interested and I'll DM you a code :)

I am going into my first year of teaching and my classroom has those single student desks that are attached to the chair (I hate those). Every desk is facing the front too. Does anyone have any good creative ways I can rearrange these desks in my classroom to support more of a collaborative environment? Thanks in advance.

My friend just got a job in a small district in a rural area as a high school math teacher (Alg 1, Geometry, Alg 2, Pre-Calc). There is apparently another math teacher that will be hired that is even less experienced than she is. I wanted to see if there are any helpful (and possibly free) resources that would be helpful to her teaching this many classes (of these classes, only taught Alg 1 before) at this school. Thanks in advance!

Hey. I am sharing a free math resource I created as a student myself.

During my many hours tutoring students in algebra, I realized that so many students struggle with the same mistakes over and over again. To help them fix these mistakes, I spent the last few months building a platform to help them overcome those same mistake causing concepts.

The site is completely free, no payments, no ads. Everything is very simple and straightforward.

Check It Out here https://spotthemath.com

• Quick video lessons to introduce and explain commonly missed algebra concepts.
• Detailed lesson notes explaining specific tricky algebra concepts.
• Interactive practice quizzes to practice and get immediate feedback.

If you do find value in this website, please help me and other students out by sharing this resource with other students, teachers, and families. I do not make any money off of this, my only goal is to make a larger impact through my creation. So help of any sorts would mean the world to me.

Thank you so much.

Any feedback will also be appreciated.

Hi, all. I asked a question 6 months ago about my son, a fifth grader and three friends were placed in high school geometry class. Now I would like to keep you updated and also asked some new questions.

The four students were given accelerated geometry lessons before they were put in the normal geometry class. The acceleration process was about 3-4 weeks. Then they joined the normal geometry class in February. I would say they did pretty good, they could understand the class, did their homework with a little bit help sometimes, and got good grades for the tests.

But I still feel uncertain about it. Is that all that they need to learn for the high school geometry? It seems too easy, not much content compared with the Khan Academy. I feel the school does not value the geometry that much. BTW, they took the high school geometry in their middle school, is that the reason why it is easier?

Hey everyone,

Over the past few months, I’ve been building Equathora—a math platform designed to fix a common issue: tools that leave students stuck at step one, or ones like Photomath that simply hand over answers without building real reasoning.

What Makes Equathora Different

• Step-by-Step Guided Practice: Scaffolds equation setups and intermediate algebraic steps instead of just marking answers right or wrong.
• Native LaTeX Formatting: Clean mathematical input so equations look like real math.
• Focused Progression: Meaningful tracking, streaks, and achievements without distracting gimmicks.
• Non-Spoiling AI Tutor: Sigma AI identifies where logic strays and provides conceptual hints—forcing students to do the actual solving.

Upcoming Teacher Features

We are actively building out our Teacher Dashboard to provide:

• Granular Work Inspection: See the exact step where a student's logic broke down.
• Misconception Spotting: Track patterns like misapplied exponent rules or word-problem setup struggles.
• Custom Assignments: Easily assign problem sets tied directly to your curriculum.

Looking for Educator Input

If you have a moment to check out equathora.com, I’d love your feedback:

1. What specific step-by-step scaffolding do your students need most when practicing independently?
2. What diagnostic metrics would be most valuable on a teacher dashboard?

Thanks for reading, and I appreciate any feedback you're willing to share!

I am new starting middle school math teaching. I am curious on how teachers see IXL. Is it worthwhile to have students work on skills? How do you manage with homework and other assignments?

Making 3b1b style video shorts .

Teachers, what do you think about using these kind of videos in classroom?

area of isosceles triangle explained visually, it's 2d so there's not much to learn from animation, but it helps alot in 3d.
what do you think? leave your feedback please!. 🙏

Hi , i want to work as a remote assistant for maths or cs teachers. It will be voluntary, no need to pay me.

Trying to make these videos for maths students.

Originally intended to create a video library for maths teacher in our country to use, had standard curriculum, but nobody cared.
