Hope you lot are finding the resources I've been posting from the Oklahoma Geometry together with Algebra Project to survive useful/inspiring/helpful. If you lot missed the notes from Day 1, click here. Here's my notes from Day The Second:
Advice: "If it's non well-nigh the students, only tell NO!"
The most valuable classroom fourth dimension is the really kickoff together with really halt of class. Sadly, these are also the most wasted times.
Recommendation: Use Exit Tickets to maximize halt of class. And, exercise Tickets In The Door to maximize the kickoff of class.
Tickets inwards the door were a novel concept to me. Here's how they work: plough over students a brusk assignment that they must guide keep the side past times side 24-hour interval to locomote into your classroom. Students who guide keep non completed the assignment cannot locomote into your classroom until it is completed.
You tin exercise a tool similar Remind101 (now only named Remind) to remind students of their upcoming ticket inwards the door.
"You guide keep to survive at to the lowest degree a niggling chip uncomfortable to survive learning!"
After a quick review of the unit of measurement circle, nosotros got out our graphing calculators to piece of work through or thence other activity from the Balanced Assessment inwards Mathematics Project.
The file for this activity together with an respond telephone commutation tin survive downloaded here. I'll survive teaching trig for the firstly fourth dimension this side past times side schoolhouse year, together with I'm excited to exercise this activity inwards that class! I'm sure enough my students volition survive shocked to realize that the answers to 1-3 are all the same! Should Pb to a nifty conversation well-nigh why...
The side past times side activity nosotros worked through was an instance of how nosotros could guide keep something nosotros were already doing inwards our classroom together with heighten the rigor of the activity. For example, nosotros aspect our Algebra 1 students to survive able to rearrange literal equations to solve for whatever variable. A typical work would read: "Solve the formula C = 2*pi*r for r." Not just exciting.
To pace these problems upwardly a notch, nosotros were asked to write the equation for the expanse of a circle equally a role of its circumference. Or, write the equation for the expanse of a circle equally a role of its diameter. Another: write an equation for the book of a cube equally a role of its surface area.
As nosotros sat together with worked through these problems, nosotros actually had to think. Were these super difficult questions? No. But, equally teachers, nosotros tin acquire thence used to ever approaching something a sure enough means that it tin guide keep a infinitesimal to reorient yourself when a interrogation is asked differently. We weren't only going through the motions together with solving for a unmarried variable. Instead, nosotros had to aspect at both equations, come across what they had inwards common, create upwardly one's heed which equation to solve for that mutual variable, together with thence plug the final result into the other equation.
There are tons of ideas out at that spot on the Internet for information collection activities for linear, quadratic, together with exponential functions. But what well-nigh rational functions? Those are rare!
This activity comes from a collection of information collection activities for an introductory physics class. You tin download the file here. The same publishing fellowship that made this file available for gratis has or thence other files online that may survive of interest.
The activity begins past times giving students this page of paragraphs to measure. Ask students: what is constant on this page? What is changing from paragraph to paragraph?
Measure the width (x) together with length (y) of each paragraph. Record your information inwards a tabular array together with create a scatter plot. Predict the mathematical model that would best stand upwardly for this data. Find a regression equation that models this situation. Why is this appropriate?
To survive honest, my unit of measurement on rational functions has ever been BORING. I'm hoping that my students volition survive able to come across why this must survive modeled past times a rational function. After all, would it ever survive possible to guide keep a width of zero? Can't hold off to attempt out this out amongst my students! (Plus, it also fits inwards or thence much needed measuring practice. My students are the WORST at reading rulers.)
After working through or thence basic constructions, nosotros moved on to an activity called I Really Gotta Go!
We received a newspaper that had 3 points, labeled A-C, together with these instructions: There are 3 playground areas inwards the common indicated past times A, B, together with C. The recreation region wants to identify restroom facilities thence the volition survive an equal distance from each playground. Show where the restroom facilities volition survive located.
I had problem amongst this activity. I bisected each side of the triangle, but I wasn't sure enough what to produce afterwards. One of my tablemates was able to demo me what to produce next. Geometry actually is i of my weak areas. I haven't actually needed to produce geometry since I took the flat inwards the ninth grade!
The final activity of the 24-hour interval was from NCTM Illuminations. It's called Too Hot To Handle.
You tin download all the resources for this activity here. Because nosotros were running out of time, nosotros had to slightly modify our information collection. We set the thermometer inwards the water, removed the thermometer, together with recorded the temperature every 10 seconds. The actual activity calls for you lot to locomote out the thermometer inwards the H2O together with tape the temperature every 3 minutes.
It was suggested that you lot could guide keep your students inquiry several of the questions from the worksheet bundle earlier doing the project. They could fifty-fifty survive a ticket inwards the door! For example, guide keep students inquiry "What temperature is considered scalding? or "At what temperature is it prophylactic to guide keep the firstly quaff of coffee?"
One of our homework problems was a business called Gligs together with Crocs from the Balanced Assessment inwards Mathematics Project.
You tin download the file for this activity equally good equally an respond telephone commutation from the Balanced Assessment website. This work was a fun niggling challenge. My firstly sweat at working out this work did non acquire well. But, I regrouped, tried a unlike approach, together with succeeded. This is i of those problems that doesn't guide keep a pretty answer. But, I should plough over my students to a greater extent than problems amongst messy answers. They shouldn't right away mean value that they got something incorrect only because they got a fraction/decimal.

Ask Students: "What's your takeaway for the day?"
If you're using technology to supercede pupil thinking, that's inappropriate!
If using technology encourages pupil thinking, that's appropriate!
Technology doesn't guide keep to plug inwards or guide keep a battery.
