6. Teaching in 2012 Teacher: "You have thirty seconds to find the rules for adding and subtracting integers. Next you will get in groups and solve these three part math problems." @mraspinall www.brianaspinall.com

7. Mt. Everest, the highest elevation in Asia, is 29,028 feet above sea level. The Dead Sea, the lowest elevation, is 1,312 feet below sea level. What is the difference between these two elevations? @mraspinall www.brianaspinall.com

8. Teaching in 2014 Teacher: "You have twenty seconds to find the rules for adding and subtracting integers. Next you will work in groups to solve these three part math problems. Everyone will use a different colour marker so we can see who did what during the final phase of today's class - The Gallery Walk." @mraspinall www.brianaspinall.com

9. Teaching Today Teacher: “Google the rules for adding and subtracting integers. Ask Google to solve these three part math problems. No need for a Gallery Walk because Google will show you four different ways to answer each question." "There will be a test tomorrow.. Or not. Should we be doing tests anymore?” @mraspinall www.brianaspinall.com

10. “If you can Google a math answer, is the question rich enough?” @mraspinall
