The math instructor inward me had to graph my weblog shipping service numbers using Desmos in addition to await for a pattern. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 parabola check my information amongst an r^2 value of 0.8897. I gauge that agency I demand to actually acquire blogging side yesteryear side twelvemonth or this weblog mightiness locomote dead inward 2 years according to this model.



To determine which of my weblog posts were the most pop this year, I took a await at the pageviews of each shipping service published during 2018. Here are my overstep 10 posts according to popularity of pageviews.

1. Review of Angela Watson's twoscore Hour Teacher Workweek Club


With over 12,000 pageviews this year, this was yesteryear far my most pop post. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 follow-up post, An Invitation to Join Angela Watson's twoscore Hour Teacher Workweek Club, also landed inward the overstep 10 posts, but I'm simply including it amongst this related shipping service to allow me to highlight a greater multifariousness of posts. The strategies I've learned from Angela's course of didactics own got actually changed my productivity inward the classroom, in addition to I dearest beingness able to part what I own got learned amongst other teachers. The lodge is 1 time over again opened upwards for novel members, in addition to therefore if yous are looking to larn how to acquire to a greater extent than done inward less fourth dimension at school, I highly recommend that yous cheque it out! 



Inspired yesteryear a puzzle I flora inward a mass I picked upwards at the thrift store, I decided to alter upwards how I commonly boot off the schoolhouse twelvemonth in addition to engage students amongst a whole lot of math in addition to critical thinking on the firstly day. This resulted inward the firstly solar daytime of schoolhouse beingness total of math talk, cooperative grouping work, in addition to a much-needed review of the monastic say of operations.  I loved seeing how other teachers took this thought in addition to modified it for their ain classrooms on the firstly solar daytime of school. 



Another favorite project of mine is a yearly bulletin board challenge that I shipping service at the starting fourth dimension of each novel calendar year. This was my tertiary most viewed shipping service of the twelvemonth amongst over vi G page-views. The challenge for students is to accept the all of the digits inward the twelvemonth (2,0, 1, in addition to 8) in addition to the mathematical operators of your alternative (add, subtract, multiply, divide, factorial, exponents, etc) in addition to create a mathematical facial expression equivalent to each issue from 1 to 100. It's a ton of fun, in addition to my students acquire actually engaged every unmarried twelvemonth without fail. This reminds me that I demand to acquire to operate to acquire my 2019 Challenge printed soon! 



It's no hush-hush that I LOVE decorating my math classroom. And, I dearest sharing the posters I create on my weblog amongst yous guys. So, I gauge it's no surprise that the pictures I posted of my novel classroom at my novel schoolhouse were in addition to therefore pop hither on the blog. 



I regularly shipping service round-ups on Mondays on my weblog of the awesomeness I own got seen inward recent times on Twitter. This is a peachy way to remind myself of the peachy ideas I desire to role inward my classroom someday. And, it's a peachy way to highlight the amazing operate of others that the math instructor community deserves to see. I'm non alone for sure what was extra especial nigh Volume 35, but it had nearly v times the views every bit a normal Mon Must Reads post. I gauge that agency yous should cheque it out! 



I gauge 1 of the reasons my blogging mass has decreased is that I no longer own got interactive notebook pages to part on my blog. I decided that amongst Algebra 2 in addition to Pre-Calc classes of xxx kids that I would attention relieve my sanity this twelvemonth yesteryear moving to binders instead of INBs. It has definitely saved me fourth dimension both inward flat in addition to out of class, but I do fille how attached students ended upwards getting to their notebooks. It's simply non the same amongst binders. So, if yous desire to come across some of my most favorite INB pages ever, cheque out this post! 



I was a lilliputian negligent at getting the photos of LAST year's classroom posted until the schoolhouse twelvemonth was alone over. While yous volition break some similarities betwixt final year's classroom in addition to this year's when it comes to some of the posters, in that location are many differences since I went from teaching Algebra 1 in addition to Chemistry to teaching Algebra 2 in addition to Pre-Calc. 



For several years, I got real discouraged spell working at my former schoolhouse because in that location was absolutely no celebration or fifty-fifty advert of Teacher Appreciation Week. I would log on to twitter to come across other teachers posting photos of beingness showered amongst gratis food, gifts, in addition to sweetness notes from students. After awhile, I decided to halt beingness lamentable in addition to start doing something nigh it. Last year, I decided to own got my students celebrate the teachers inward our schoolhouse yesteryear voting for superlative awards. Teachers were voted to categories such every bit "Most Organized," "Most Inspiring," "Best Story Teller," "Funniest," or "Most Likely to Win Jeopardy." Each teacher's winning superlative was posted on a certificate exterior their door for the whole schoolhouse to read. The teachers loved them, in addition to the students loved walking simply about to come across what laurels each pupil had won. 



Last schoolhouse year, I was actually practiced at putting a novel puzzle on our puzzle tabular array each week. This Mixed Emotions Puzzle from The Big, Big, Big Book of Brainteasers (affiliate link) turned out to locomote the most pop puzzle shipping service of 2018. Want fifty-fifty to a greater extent than puzzles? Check out the Puzzles Tab at the overstep of my blog! 



Seeing this activeness makes me really, really, actually fille teaching intro to polynomials inward Algebra 1. I created this activeness this yesteryear twelvemonth to hand my students extra practise amongst naming in addition to classifying polynomials. I dearest that this activeness is open-ended inward a way since in that location are several possible solutions. There are a few cards that MUST become inward a for sure place, but students commonly don't figure that out without a chip of intelligence in addition to lawsuit in addition to error. I holler back I volition own got to describe this activeness out in addition to role it every bit a refresher amongst my Algebra 2 classes every bit nosotros volition locomote starting polynomials subsequently Christmas Break.
