☮️ Know this: the work of Jenna Laib is masterful & has educated us all. I recently thanked her for this. ➡️ Her content does what we all should be doing with our instruction: it invites students to see math not just in books but out in the world. Prove me wrong. #iteachmath

💭Fellow math educators: How do you know your grading system is fair? "The 0-100 numeric scale merely provides 'the illusion of precision' & increases the potential for subjectivity." ❓What say you? What Is Standards-Based Grading, and How Does It Work? edweek.org/teaching-learn…
