Focus...
I don't know why, but this whole blogging affair seems to live getting harder. I start posts, but I can't appear to discovery the inspiration/motivation/time to complete them. Today, has been 1 of those days...
I've spent a lot of fourth dimension latterly on educatee council duties. But, I lastly got the basketball game return t-shirts ordered today. I got a bullying assembly scheduled, together with I flora out that nosotros volition select the funds to select Victims' Impact Panel inwards to acquaint to our students earlier prom.
We had our kickoff educatee struggle of the twelvemonth today. I'm incredibly thankful it didn't laissez passer on inwards my classroom. I'm also amazed it was this belatedly inwards the schoolhouse year! And, it was all the students wanted to beak most today...
Algebra two started polynomial long sectionalization today. I flora it truly helpful to select my students function through several regular long sectionalization problems, first. I was surprised when unopen to of my students told me that they didn't know what long sectionalization was. But, they seemed to all scream back the procedure amongst a lilliputian review. At first, my students told me that polynomial long sectionalization was likewise confusing. I heard multiple students tell that they would simply ever split polynomials past times factoring together with cancelling. (Of course, these were the same students who told me that they hated factoring together with couldn't scream back how to element yesterday.) I tried convincing them that they wouldn't ever live able to element together with cancel, but I'm pretty certain my reminders savage on deaf ears. By the halt of the shape period, my students were truly starting to choke comfortable amongst the process. Tomorrow, we'll create a lot to a greater extent than exercise together with await at unopen to give-and-take problems that tin live solved past times polynomial long division.
Something truly cool happened, though, inwards my Math Analysis shape that pretty much made my day. One of my Algebra two students is also inwards my Math Analysis shape this semester. These students had also been struggling amongst remembering how to factor. So, today nosotros worked through the Polynomial Puzzler problems from NCTM Illuminations. It changed things upwards a lilliputian bit, together with it gave my students to a greater extent than exercise earlier nosotros proceed our function amongst quadratics. My Algebra two educatee was having problem figuring out how 1 of the quadratics factored, together with therefore she asked me if she could create the "division thing" from this morning. Incredibly surprised together with delighted, I told her that she could purpose polynomial long sectionalization to discovery the missing factor. It was a proud instructor moment. Later, when she turned inwards her assignment, she told me that polynomial long sectionalization made solving the puzzles much easier.
I did select to confiscate something from 1 of my students this afternoon which was disappointing. Then, unopen to other educatee stole the confiscated detail from my desk. I caught it, but I was fifty-fifty to a greater extent than unhappy. My students told me it was the kickoff fourth dimension that they had seen me mad. Apparently, I await evil when I learn mad. Usually, I would focus on this 1 bad affair when reflecting on my day. But, today I'm choosing to focus on the good. Student Council is going well. And, whether it feels similar it or not, I am making a divergence amongst my Algebra two students.
