Blog posts 2 days inward a row - what craziness is this?!? I figured since it's Friday, I powerfulness equally good maintain upwardly my new-found blogging momentum alongside a novel book of Five Things Friday. These posts are a collection of things I receive got been upwardly to of belatedly that haven't made it on the blog. Since I've been neglecting this spider web log then much, I could in all probability sit down downwardly together with write a Fifteen Things Friday, but I volition endeavor to maintain it to simply Five.
1. This has been an extra crazy week. We had a professional person twenty-four hr menses on Tuesday for Election Day. Then, the residual of the calendar week has been a fleck out of the ordinary. Wednesday, I was displaced yesteryear the Pre-ACT beingness given inward my room. Thursday, all the sophomores went on a acre trip. Then, today our schedule has been thrown off yesteryear a Veterans Day Assembly. This meant our exclusively normal twenty-four hr menses of the entire calendar week was Monday!
I had to comprehend all of my beautiful decorations for the Pre-ACT which turned out to hold upwardly a existent pain. The newspaper would NOT remain upwardly on the walls. Apparently, to a greater extent than or less of the newspaper ended upwardly falling off the wall during the actual test. Oops...
Do you lot know what else happens when you lot comprehend upwardly all your decorations? Every unmarried fry who walks into your classroom for the residual of the twenty-four hr menses has to inquire "Are nosotros having a test?" "Is at that topographic point a pop-quiz today?" "Why are the walls covered?" Given the fact that I've never i time earlier covered the walls, I don't sympathize why my students automatically equate that alongside having to receive got a test.
I create receive got to acknowledge that I got tired of telling students the existent argue for the walls beingness covered at a for sure indicate together with started telling them that I was inward a bad mood. As a result, I decided the room was besides colorful together with I had to comprehend upwardly the posters to fit my mood. I idea they would realize I was joking, but I heard from the chemical scientific discipline instructor afterwards inward the twenty-four hr menses that students were talking nearly the fact that I was inward a actually bad mood.
2. In used Christie Bradshaw's surface area model puzzles were a perfect introduction to the box method earlier nosotros jumped into factoring using the box method!
4. Shaun together with I receive got actually been enjoying help the Tulsa Math Teachers' Circle this schoolhouse year. We've e'er loved help inward the past, but it's super squeamish to alive much closer together with non receive got an hr long drive dwelling afterwards! We tackled to a greater extent than or less fun puzzles at our finally meeting. Our opening chore was a novel i to me.
Take a measure checkerboard together with take away 2 of the corner pieces that are diagonal from i another. You tin regard inward the movie below where nosotros marked them out alongside an x. Then, receive got a measure laid upwardly of dominoes together with comprehend the remaining squares of the checkerboard.
Afterwards, nosotros discussed the mathematics of the famous Fifteen Puzzle. It was a fleck mind-blowing.
4. Years ago, I attended a Common Core Workshop where nosotros did an action involving rope together with systems of equations. It was called "All Tied Up In Knots." Well, I finally tried the action inward my classroom alongside my Algebra 2 students, together with it was an awesome introduction to solving systems of equations. There are a few things I would tweak earlier doing the action again, but I volition definitely hold upwardly doing it inward the future.
I didn't burn downwardly the ends of my rope because I'm a major procrastinator together with didn't receive got fourth dimension to cutting the rope until the morning time of the activity, then I ended upwardly having to throw all the rope away. In the future, I volition definitely burn downwardly the ends of the rope to preclude fraying then I tin maintain the rope together with reuse it from yr to year.
The finish of the action was to determine what divulge of knots was required to receive got 2 ropes of unequal lengths together with brand them the same length. The students achieved this yesteryear collecting data, creating a scatter plot, drawing inward lines of best fit for each rope, together with finding the indicate of intersection.
5. Sadly, I'm finding that a lot of my go-to review games from the yesteryear vi years at my former schoolhouse simply aren't working for my novel school. Having thirty students inward a degree is really unlike from having 10-16 students inward each class. One game that has been working good this yr has been ZAP. It has popular off i of my students' most requested review games. Whenever i degree gets to play it together with to a greater extent than or less other doesn't, I definitely listen complaints.
I dear that directly that I receive got the cards prepped, the exclusively existent prep is to discovery a laid upwardly of questions to run equally a review.
Enjoy your weekend!
