First Hateful Solar Daytime Of Schoolhouse Plans 2013

Well, today was my final 24-hour interval of summer.  Tomorrow is district inservice.  Then, kids come upward on Thursday!  I went to schoolhouse today to function on my initiative of all 24-hour interval of schoolhouse plans.  Last year, I did a ton of planning during the final few weeks of summer.  I created a bunch of interactive notebook pages.  And, I kinda mapped out the initiative of all few weeks for each of my preps.  That was final summer.  This summer, I don't know where my motivation has gone.  I've had enough of motivation to decorate my classroom, but I've lacked motivation to map out my curriculum as well as function on lesson plans.  I mean value purpose of my work is that I got actually proficient at doing things at the final infinitesimal during my initiative of all yr of teaching.  But, that is a bad habit that I demand to function on breaking.  My motto needs to drib dead "Plan Ahead!"

I got to run into a lot of students today when they were picking upward their enrollment packets at school.  It was proficient to run into their grinning faces as well as withdraw heed what they receive got been upward to this summer.  One of my Algebra 1 students from final yr came upward to me to brand certainly that I was going to hold upward her Algebra two instructor this year.  I reminded her that I was the alone Algebra two instructor inward the entire school.   Her reply was "That's proficient 'cuz I'm alone capable of learning math from you."  I know that's non truthful because she had some other instructor final yr for Geometry, as well as she did only fine.  But, it's ever proficient to withdraw heed that students experience similar I furnish an effective as well as productive learning environment.  Some students as well as I were talking almost if nosotros were laid upward for schoolhouse or not, as well as I mentioned that I yet didn't know what I wanted to create on the initiative of all 24-hour interval of Algebra 2.  She was shocked.  "Why don't y'all only create what y'all did final year?  I actually liked final year, as well as I learned a lot."  When I mean value dorsum to my Algebra two course of education final year, I cringe.  At the kickoff of the year, I was all over the house because I hadn't actually known what I was getting myself into.  This yr should hold upward much, much better.

Someone asked me what my plans for the initiative of all 24-hour interval of schoolhouse are.  So, hither they are.  I couldn't quite brand upward my heed almost what I wanted to do, then I chose a dissimilar activity for each of my 3 preps.  This way, I acquire to create 3 dissimilar things on the initiative of all 24-hour interval of school!  My finish for the initiative of all 24-hour interval of schoolhouse is to create something mathematical that does non involve going over the rules as well as my syllabus.  (Yeah, perchance I should acquire to a greater extent than or less to writing my syllabus...)  By the halt of the year, my students volition know that I accept math seriously as well as that nosotros create math every unmarried 24-hour interval inward my classroom.  So, I figure the best fashion to start out the initiative of all 24-hour interval is past times doing some fun math.  Well, all math is fun, but at that spot are certainly math activities that my students mightiness reckon *more* fun than others...

Algebra 1 - My Algebra 1 students volition hold upward starting out the yr past times playing 31-derful.  I had never heard of this game until individual mentioned it a few weeks agone on twitter.  The object of the game is to accept whatsoever 25 cards from a deck of cards as well as adapt them inward a v past times v array then that the substance of each column as well as each row is 31.  I similar this activity for multiple reasons.  Number ane - the students receive got to function inward a grouping to consummate the task.  Every activity done past times an private impacts the function of all the other students inward the group.  Good communication volition hold upward a must.  Students volition demand to employ work solving strategies.  This volition hold upward a overnice review of basic addition.  And, I only actually adore logic puzzles.

Algebra 2 - This summer, I attended a Pre-AP Math Workshop inward Tulsa that was hosted past times the Oklahoma State Department of Education.  My schoolhouse does non receive got a Pre-AP or AP program, but I yet figured that it would hold upward a slap-up rootage of resources.  One of the initiative of all activities nosotros worked through was Five Easy Pieces past times the Exeter Math Academy.  This activity volition hold upward a proficient review of real basic Algebra 1 for my Algebra two students.  The activity emphasizes next directions.  If students create non correctly create their v tardily pieces, they volition discovery the remainder of the activity difficult, if non impossible.  It too review fractions, variables, writing basic equations, as well as solving systems past times substitution.  The activity ends alongside some to a greater extent than fabulous logic puzzles.

Statistics - So, I learned today that my roster for my stats course of education alone has iv students.  I've got my fingers crossed that I mightiness gain a few to a greater extent than students.  This morning, @druinok pointed me toward the Kristen Gilbert case equally a possible Day 1 Activity for Stats.  She e-mailed me an article to read, as well as I mean value this volition hold upward the perfect introduction to stats!  I made a Smart Notebook Presentation that reviews the case.  I'm hoping to engage my students inward a good, thought-provoking discussion.  I volition permit them analyze the information for themselves as well as create upward one's heed for themselves whether they mean value the determination of the jury was correct.  As a fashion to laid out to contain to a greater extent than writing into my courses, I believe I volition receive got the students write an explanation of whether they handgrip or disagree alongside the verdict as well as why.
