Adventures in Middle School Mathiness. Why I Procrastinate – #July2014Challenge. Mtbos30 Day 16 (missing days 10-15). All of my life, I have been one who procrastinated. Mostly, it was to avoid pain. I greatly dislike being in some sort of pain or discomfort, so if I could put it off, I would. This extends from school work to exercise to yard work to dealing with issues with myself to dealing with other people. Recently, a friend of mine said this about her husband:. I know my students are this same way&...

The Wisdom of the Crowd: First Day Task? #msmathchat | TeacherPaulP
https://teacherpaulp.wordpress.com/2014/08/02/the-wisdom-of-the-crowd-first-day-task-msmathchat
Adventures in Middle School Mathiness. The Wisdom of the Crowd: First Day Task? Earlier this summer, I watched this video:. I wonder if we can make this into a task for our 6th, 7th, and 8th graders? Here’s my idea:. Each student will receive a slip of paper when they walk in, and will write their names and their guesses on them. As the slip is handed in, a teacher with their laptop will enter the name and guess in a spreadsheet. Is this a task worthy to be tried? August 2, 2014. Enter your comment here.

Adventures in Middle School Mathiness. Mindset – Jedi Edition #July2014Challenge. At a Professional Development workshop for the district this summer, we were introduced to Carol Dweck’s Mindset.

Thoughts and Ideas from a Classroom Teacher. BC 27: The Struggle. Every day is a struggle… and that isn’t a bad thing. I’ve spent 15 years in the classroom, and I would be a complete liar if I told you that I have everything figured out. Every child over every year over every curriculum mandate is different, and the differences create the struggle. I need guidance from those of you who are masters at growing students from where they are and meeting on grade level targets. What tips can you offer? A posit...

There is a wealth of information out there, and I have gained quite of bit of information on what to do for next year, but now it is putting it into place. Here are a couple things I will implement this year:. A couple of thoughts on the blogging challenge:.

Adventures in Middle School Mathiness. Star Wars – 8 Jedi Math Practices #MTBoS #msmathchat. I am blown away by the response to my Jedi posters, and am grateful that people are asking for the files and have already put them up in their classrooms! A special shoutout goes to @JustinAion and @jrobbins00 for being major “sneezers” to make this possible! 8221; Or “Give me a viable argument, tell me how you did this.” Hopefully this could provide a bridge to other classes as they move on.
