Teach Like A Pirate
Edit
I simply read through Dave Burgess' Teach Like a Pirate: Increase Student Engagement, Boost Your Creativity, too Transform Your Life every bit an Educator
for the minute summertime inwards a row. As I filled my re-create alongside fifty-fifty to a greater extent than underlining, highlighting, too margin notes, I ran across pages littered alongside post-it notes that were covered alongside lesson ideas that I wrote downwards final twelvemonth every bit I read through the book. Some of these lesson ideas came to fruition. Others didn't. Some yet appeal to me. Others don't.
For the most part, these are non fleshed out lessons. They're either master copy or semi-original ideas I thought of spell reading the majority or lessons that I've read of others doing earlier that I was reminded of spell reading. Either way, I thought I would part them hither on my blog. First of all, I tin search things that are written hither on my blog. It's difficult to search post-it notes when you're looking for a lesson thought inwards a pinch! Also - mayhap individual volition autumn inwards honey alongside ane of these ideas, deport it out inwards their classroom, too weblog almost it too thus nosotros tin all read almost it!
Graph Aerobics for Families of Functions inwards Algebra two - Act out linear, quadratic, cubic, quartic, foursquare root, absolute value functions alongside arms
Slope Aerobics - Act out positive slope, negative slope, zero slope, too undefined gradient alongside your arms. I genuinely did this this by year. We turned it into a game of Slope Dude Says (like Simon Says). I talked almost this during my Global Math Department presentation, but I haven't blogged almost it yet. So much fun!
Go to the abode ec kitchen for class. Pull diverse nutrient items out of the cabinets. (If at that spot is no nutrient stored inwards the kitchen, convey nutrient from abode too pretend it was from the kitchen!) Have students attain upward one's heed how many servings are inwards each container. How many containers would they demand to purchase to feed the entire school? Ratios too proportions inwards action!
Have course of educational activity inwards the gym on the basketball game court. Have students brand costless throws. Calculate their costless throw percentage. If repeated, yous could extend this to calculate percent growth or decrease. Use every bit an chance to review converting betwixt fractions, decimals, too percents.
Go outside. Divide students into groups of v or so. Each grouping needs a hula hoop. Lead students through the team-building activity where students stand upward alongside hands joined too popular off a hula hoop simply about the circle. In each group, students mensurate the amount of fourth dimension it takes for the hula hoop to become simply about the circle once. Then, each grouping uses ratios/proportions to calculate how much fourth dimension it volition choose for the hula hoop to become simply about a circle composed of the entire class. The grouping alongside the closest gauge wins.
Algebra Vocabulary Charades - Could testify to go hilarious!
Introduce the thought of functions every bit a gang. (Relations must popular off the vertical work exam to go component of the gang.) Come upward alongside some form of paw indicate to stand upward for the business office gang. Project graphs/equations/tables/sets of information on the board. Students must flash the business office gang sign if they desire to choose the relation every bit a function. Students could choose turns existence the bouncer. Other students depict a relation that is or is non a business office to exam the bouncer.
Have a wrapped acquaint at the forepart of the classroom to innovate the thought of using the do/undo method for solving equations.
Graphing alongside Twizzlers - Actually did this lesson too blogged almost it here!
Play pictionary alongside describing graphs - Have done this lesson, too!
Transform matrimony of Q too U into a math lesson somehow.
Tape a graph to the dorsum of each student. Students must inquire questions of other students too utilisation that information to graph the work on their private dry out erase board. Bring board to instructor to get got checked. Emphasize utilisation of proper vocabulary inwards describing graphs!
Have students draw/design subject common attractions based on dissimilar families of functions. Function World. :) Contest - what subject common would yous rather attend?
Compare isolating the variable to a quarantine. Have caution record hung simply about classroom to railroad train interest. "Enter at your ain risk."
Time move to the fourth dimension earlier calculators to learn why nosotros rationalize the denominator.
Mystery of the Cooling Corpse - Set upward room every bit a criminal offence scene. Taped outline on flooring for corpse. Crime scene record on door. Have schoolhouse employees every bit suspects.
Secret password needed to acquire inwards classroom. Vocabulary Word - ship service Definition exterior of door.
