Portfolios, Interviews, As Well As Exponent Rules

 Portfolios as well as Interviews

So, I conduct maintain less than ii days left to obsess over my upcoming showtime interview.  I've been researching the schoolhouse district to honour out every bit much every bit possible close it.  There isn't much data on the schoolhouse website, simply I did read through the see schoolhouse handbook to larn a experience for the school.

My portfolio is laid as well as assembled.  I experience thus professional person having a portfolio.  It contains my resume, exam scores since I conduct maintain non received my education certificate yet, transcript, educatee education evaluation forms, ii sample lesson plans, as well as copies of the curriculum I created to assist my eighth bird pre-algebra students develop for the eighth Grade Math OCCT Test.  I too included my gradient foldable inwards the front end pocket.

I too spoke amongst a master copy today of a dissimilar schoolhouse district close setting upwardly an interview for side past times side week!    This would live on a high schoolhouse seat where I would conduct maintain to a greater extent than opportunities to create upwardly one's hear what courses I would live on teaching.  I should conduct maintain a specific appointment for this interview inwards a few days.   

Exponent Rules

In other news, my eighth graders are yet reviewing for our upcoming OCCT test.  We conduct maintain been reviewing exponent rules, how to multiply as well as separate numbers inwards scientific annotation without a calculator, when to flip the sign on an inequality, measures of fundamental tendency, as well as more.  To assist the students recall that nosotros subtract the exponents when dividing, I told them that the partitioning bar looks similar a giant subtraction sign.  I'm hoping that this mental picture volition assist them recall what to practise amongst the exponents.  However, when students practise recall to subtract, many of them volition subtract the exponents as well as thus say that publish every bit the answer.  So, one thousand to the ninth ability divided past times one thousand to the sixth ability equals three inwards their world.

I was talking to the Algebra 1 instructor side past times side door close education exponent rules, as well as she said that she tells her students that "a ability to a ability is very powerful" thus nosotros conduct maintain to multiply the exponents.  Every fourth dimension the students come across a problem, she makes this statement, emphasizing the words "very powerful."  Then, she makes her students repeat the sentence.  So, past times the goal of the schoolhouse year, the students sympathize how to accept a ability to a power.     

If anybody has whatever creative suggestions on how to explicate to students when to add together the exponents, I would dear to hear them.  If students are having problem understanding, I similar to conduct maintain them write out the work without exponents.  So 2 cubed becomes 2 * 2 * 2.  And 2 squared becomes 2 * 2.  So, 2^3 * 2^2 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2.  There are v 2's thus that is the same every bit 2 to the fifth power.
