Launching Math Monday!

I'm so excited to share with you my idea to host Math Monday.  I love the teaching of math!  I love to spot math in my life, spark interest and curiosity with numbers and other areas of mathematics.  I love planning math instruction and watch students learn to struggle and think through problems.  I've wished for quite some time there was more math discussion and conversations in the twitter/blogging world.  It's getting better and there seems to be momentum brewing so let's take it a step further with a chance to blog and talk more about math within our online community.  

It is my hope Math Monday will be a place to share ideas, connect with others, and celebrate anything math related.  Here are some ideas of what could be shared on Math Monday.

-A great picture book or chapter book with math ideas in it. 

-A picture book or chapter book to launch a problem solving situation.  

-A professional resource you've just read.

-A math manipulative you love or don't love.

-Digital math resources.

-A "Math in my World" picture

-A celebration involving math teaching

-A reflection on something that didn't go as well

-A plea for help in understanding a math concept

-Ideas for bringing math into your classroom

-Ideas for organizing math tools or workshops

-Student work

-Anything is possible!

I hope you will consider stopping by weekly or once in a while to help create a community fostering mathematics and supporting each other with the hard work we do, called teaching.  I need your help to build this community.  Please consider joining next week or in the future and spread the news that teachers of math have a place to come together and connect.  Math Monday is just starting with so many possibilities!
