Five Things Friday: Book 9

It's finally Friday! This calendar week felt similar it dragged on FOREVER. In honor of it existence Friday, hither is my newest book of "Five Things Friday" where I portion the small-scale things that learn on inwards my life/classroom that aren't worthy of an entire weblog post simply past times themselves.

1. This calendar week I happened on what is probable the most mathematical graffiti I volition e'er observe inwards my classroom.


2. I got simply about happy post service this calendar week from Pam Cruz. First, isn't this bill of fare adorably cute? Yes, yeah it is.


I tweeted late virtually wanting a re-create of the Silhouettes puzzle for my classroom's puzzle table. Pam printed off half dozen sets of the puzzle in addition to sent them my way. I can't human face to endeavor out this puzzle alongside my students! 


3. We *finally* started electron configuration inwards chemistry. I used a POGIL activity that relates electron configurations to boarding houses, in addition to it's ane of the most bright activities I induce got e'er used inwards my classroom. I literally had to produce goose egg to a greater extent than than impress off the activity in addition to mitt it to my students. Then, I sat inwards my desk in addition to pretended to learn simply about run done. Okay, I got a fighting of run done. But, to a greater extent than oftentimes than non I simply sat in addition to eavesdropped on the incredible conversations my students were having equally they made feel of electron configuration past times themselves. Now, I desire to drib everything this summertime in addition to endeavor my mitt at writing similarly structured activities for Algebra 1.


4. I made a pair of posters for the history instructor across the hall. He gave me this quote to plough into a poster. 


I'm pretty proud of my finished product.


5.  We started fractions inwards Math Concepts. This has given me argue to add together all kinds of fraction-related decorations/manipulatives to my classroom. I wrote a grant through my school's pedagogy foundation this twelvemonth for fraction manipulatives. With simply a calendar week of use, I've decided that they are definitely a peachy investment! 

The magnetic jumbo fraction tiles (affiliate link) are in all probability my favorite purchase. They've fifty-fifty constitute simply about purpose inwards my Algebra 1 class. Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 educatee was confused this calendar week why nosotros changed the 2/4 inwards our work to 1/2. I pulled out two of the 1/4 magnets in addition to 1 of the 1/2 magnets. It was awesome to run into the student's reaction when they saw that they were indeed equivalent.


I beloved that my novel Equivalency Center (affiliate link) has tiles for fractions, decimals, in addition to percents. The pockets at the bottom concur the pieces that we're non currently using. 


The private student sets of fraction tiles (affiliate link) are in all probability getting the most use, though. I beloved that students tin laissez passer the sack view a gear upward off the dorsum counter in addition to induce got them to their spot whenever they ask them. The plastic greyness keeps the pieces organized which helps maintain my sanity! I too beloved that most of the time, students tin laissez passer the sack purpose the fraction tiles spell they are even in addition to hence inwards the tray without fifty-fifty having to induce got them out!
