Teachers Working Together to make our Struggles Productive. Taking a Teacher Mulligan. Jeff from Trust Me – I’m a Math Teacher. Writes about his kids bombing a quiz:. Sometimes, despite trying to do my best job possible as a teacher, I screw up. I’m pretty sure it’s healthy to accept that it happens from time to time. This happened on a Friday afternoon. I thought about what to do all weekend. I came back to my students on Monday and, in each class, just laid it out for them:. Good news, though! I’...

My Favorite | Vertical Asymptote
https://verticalasymptote.wordpress.com/2016/01/22/my-favorite
A math blogging exploration. January 22, 2016. I teach AP Calculus this year. Today, while exploring the trapezoid rule and Riemann Sums, a student said, “Is this going to turn into limits? 8221; Then I smiled, nodded, pointed at him and got really excited, to which he replied, “Oh, no I said some thing to make her do that excited thing again.”. 6 thoughts on “ My Favorite. January 22, 2016 at 10:17 pm. What a great feeling! 🙂 It’s also great that they know you so well…. January 22, 2016 at 11:27 pm.

Algebra II Highlight | Vertical Asymptote
https://verticalasymptote.wordpress.com/2016/01/12/algebra-ii-highlight
A math blogging exploration. January 12, 2016. We’ve completed three hefty units in Algebra II so far: Functions (including trig), Quadratics and Polynomials, and Exponents and Logs. For these kids especially, Algebra II is HARD! We use Day Meyer style concept testing, so kids have multiple opportunities to show their knowledge, and they can retest outside of class even after a concept is done being tested in class, but this cohort usually doesn’t retest. A new blogging challenge. My Favorite →.

Talking Math with Your Kids. Reports from the field. August 10, 2013. The following conversation took place about two years ago. It is probably the first one that made me realize how important it is to talk math with my kids.

Jaz_math: Value of Visible Random Groupings
http://jazmath.blogspot.com/2014/09/value-of-visual-random-groupings.html
Sunday, September 28, 2014. Value of Visible Random Groupings. I have had students work in groups for my whole teaching career. I love having students share their thoughts collaboratively, in investigative activities, through practice, to discover and to review ideas. In my six years of teaching, I have always worked hard to engineer the perfect groups. I would ask myself questions like:. Who seems like they would make a good pairing? Who do I want to avoid ever putting together? Although it needed some ...

Assigning Blame in High School Math. Slowing it down… maybe the wrong move? October 19, 2013. Walking with kids on a field trip, I observed that they will always be 20 steps behind you. I urged the leader to speed up, as he was walking at a snail’s pace and clearly was frustrated (being the fit and healthy guy that he is). Sure enough, the kids sped up, but were always 20 paces behind. Filed under observation cookies. 2 responses ». October 20, 2013 at 09:18. February 24, 2014 at 00:16. You are commentin...
