Well, I withal don't know what math classes I volition be teaching, just I induce got had the chance to come across my classroom.  Here's a preview of the earlier pictures.  This summertime has consisted of a lot of reading as well as pondering of how I desire to things to run inward my classroom.  Once I know precisely what classes I'll live on teaching, I volition live on able to get down doing to a greater extent than specific planning.   

While organizing around of my educatee instruction papers, I ran across around notes I took at a presentation on using Smart Board technology inward the math classroom.  I don't desire to lose these again, as well as so I idea I would postal service them on here.  Maybe someone else tin laissez passer notice notice around inspiration inward them, too.        

Notes from Presentation on Using SmartBoard Technology inward the Math Classroom

By: Kathy Pickup from Bishop Kelley High School, Tulsa, OK

Use the Smart Board to rearrange the corporation of the textbook.  Everything should live on customized for EVERY class. 

Kinesthetic Memory is CRUCIAL inward math.  Students NEED to induce got notes.   

Ms. Pickup would induce got students mensurate angles from pictures she had taken on her vacations.  Instead of criterion angles from diagrams inward the geometry textbook, students would mensurate the angles formed past times tree branches as well as mountains. 

Students were confused past times which scale to purpose on the protractor.  “Where does the torso of the tree deport on the zero?  Use that scale.” 

If you're struggling amongst the protractor on the Smart Board, students won't experience as well as so foolish acre working amongst their ain protractors.  

Always mensurate angles amongst the fun materials first.  Then, movement onto to the typical textbook examples.

Everyday, she issues students a Non-Optional Challenge Problem of the Day.  If students produce non consummate the problem, they lose five points from their homework grade.  If students consummate it correctly, they arrive at five points on their homework grade.  If students consummate the occupation incorrectly, their homework remains unchanged.  This encourages all students to endeavour the problem.  There is no penalisation equally long equally they try.   

Teach parallel lines amongst opor-garai pictures (ski tracks, trees, etc)

Then, induce got students induce got pictures featuring parallel, perpendicular, as well as skew lines.  Have a present as well as say hateful solar daytime where each educatee explains the pictures they took. 

Take what yous similar as well as convey that into your classroom. 

Don't live on satisfied amongst what the mass publisher provides.  Insert your personality.  Add yourself to your presentation. 

If you're enthusiastic, it's contagious. 

There's no improve instruction tool than making mistakes at the forepart of the classroom. 

Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 junk drawer is essential.  Make a Smart Board page amongst symbols yous purpose frequently or induce got customized.
