Monday Must Reads: Volume 2

It's difficult to believe it's already been a calendar week since my first mass of Mon Must Reads.  Since the final mass was received thence positively, I'm dorsum today amongst mass 2!  The finish of this weblog serial is to highlight some of my favorite weblog in addition to twitter reads that I cry upwards are worth sharing.

  

Last week, I discovered the Pie Says No (@pie_says_no) Twitter account, in addition to it's definitely worth a follow.  The occupation organization human relationship regularly tweets cringe-worthy pie charts (and other information visualizations).  These are perfect for showing students what NOT to do!  Here's my favorite one:

Fawn Nguyen's recent post service near Solving an Equation amongst a Fraction has me thinking a lot near how I desire to construction my solving equations unit of measurement for side past times side year's Algebra 1 class.  I bespeak to focus less on mindlessly manipulating equations in addition to focus to a greater extent than on a conceptual agreement of what equations genuinely mean.

here.  I await frontward to genuinely having my students construct the towers side past times side year!      

    

Megan Lonsdale tweeted a moving painting of a display she had her students do amongst information from flipping a money in addition to finding the experimental probability of the money landing on heads.  I talked amongst my Algebra 1 students this twelvemonth how experimental probability approaches theoretical probability every bit the unwrap of trials is increased, but I honey how Megan SHOWED this to her students instead of simply telling them.  I peculiarly honey the role of record to demo where the theoretical probability lies in addition to the role of private stickers to stand upwards for experimental probabilities.  Definitely stealing this side past times side year!   Want to run into the poster inward greater detail?  Check out this link.  

Karl Lippa has me really intrigued amongst this tweet about having his students participate inward Opposite Hand Olympics inward Algebra 1.  You MUST click through the link to a higher house to sentry the video of students trying to residual marbles on a textbook.  It looks similar thence much fun!  The screenshot I'm posting below simply doesn't capture the awesomeness of the entire video.    

Teach180 tweets!  I honey this punch carte du jour activity that she created for trigonometric equations.  I've used punch cards i time before, in addition to they worked well.  I bespeak this reminder to seat punch carte du jour activities into my normal pedagogy rotation. 

    

I likewise honey Sarah Newton's role of a Venn Diagram to practise polynomial vocabulary!  My Algebra 1 students convey been struggling a chip amongst Venn Diagrams inward our probability unit, thence I cry upwards that incorporating them before inward the twelvemonth would live on genuinely helpful to them.

I don't learn geometry, but Kerri Sustich's Circumference or Area? activity that she posted on Twitter definitely caught my eye.  So often, nosotros practise all of i type of occupation thence all of some other type of problem.  This activity gets students thinking near 2 types of problems at the same time.  I tin transportation away definitely run into applying this same practise construction to other math topics!

That's it until side past times side week!  Read whatever "must reads" lately?  Share them inward the comments!
