Don't Accidentally Transform Your Lab Partner Into A Fish.

I dear algebra.  I actually do.  My initiative of all twelvemonth of teaching, I taught iii unlike levels of algebra.  Last year, I taught 3 periods of Algebra 1, two periods of Algebra 2, as well as 1 menses of Statistics.  Next year, I volition instruct 3 periods of Algebra 1, two periods of Algebra 2, as well as 1 menses of Trigonometry/Pre-Calculus.  I don't instruct Geometry, as well as I honestly don't immature lady it.  I was a neat geometry educatee inwards view school, but I never did aid besides much for proofs.  And, proofs didn't actually grow on me spell I was completing my bachelor's of scientific discipline inwards pure mathematics, either.  My collegiate sense alongside writing proofs helped me to gain an agreement of the truthful beauty of mathematics, but they never came naturally to me.

Every in 1 trial inwards a while, I run across a geometry lesson persuasion that makes me desire to instruct geometry.  Examples include Algebrainiac's Dance Dance Transversal, School of Fisher's If You Give Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Mouse Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Cookie Project, the Algebrainiac's Dance Dance Transversal, MissCalcul8's Surface Area Tin Man Project, as well as Proof Blocks (I realize I only said I don't aid for proofs, but I intend these would live on fun!).

In a perfect basis that didn't cause got high stakes testing as well as a bazillion standards to embrace always year, I'd dear to instruct a Geometry course of report that was 100% motivated yesteryear origami.  

My sis late forwarded me several e-mails that she received from her college.  These would live on the perfect affair if I was pedagogy conditional statements inwards geometry!  Since I'm non pedagogy geometry, I'm going to part them alongside y'all guys inwards the promise that individual powerfulness honour these useful and/or inspiring.

The videos were made yesteryear Northeastern State University to persuade students to participate inwards Priority Enrollment.  The videos are short, clever, as well as they made me laugh.

Each video is nigh xl seconds long, as well as I encourage y'all to picket them all.  I'm non certain who made the videos, but they did a actually skillful job.  I actually wonder nigh the background of the creator of these videos.  Math major?  Logician?  If You Give Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Mouse Influenza A virus subtype H5N1 Cookie lover?

I could run across myself showing these videos to my students as well as having them write their ain scripts using the if-then structure.  To avoid using besides much course of report fourth dimension to brand their ain videos, y'all could operate the Paper Slide Project that I learned nigh before this calendar month from Janelle Graham.  Students could ready their newspaper slides every bit homework, as well as they could as well as hence cinema them inwards 1 cause got at the initiative of all of a course of report period.

Obviously, this would serve every bit a real basic introduction to if-then statements.  After students cause got done to a greater extent than piece of work alongside conditional statements, they could revisit their scripts as well as write converses, contrapositives, etc.    

Enjoy the videos!  And, part whatever ideas y'all cause got inwards the comments.   

Don't acquire disowned.  
   


Don't acquire chased across campus yesteryear angry mobs.
