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.

  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 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!  dry erase templates for pedagogy polynomials using the box method!  Monday Must Reads: Volume 6I've been taking a suspension from Monday Must Reads this summertime because I've been out of the province together with accept had real express network access. Now that I'm dorsum inwards the states, it's fourth dimension to grab upward on my RSS feed reader. There's no promise of catching upward on twitter, together with thence I'm non fifty-fifty going to try. That agency this mass volition hold out heavy on the spider web log posts together with lighter on the tweets. Here are the posts that stood out to me that I scream upward powerfulness hold out of involvement to you! Jacqueline Richardson led an awesome presentation on using interactive notebooks inwards the secondary math classroom together with she blogged close it with tons of pretty pictures that brand my catch happy.
recent post, Don shares a slide where he challenges students to describe a business perpendicular to about other business that goes through a certainly point. Before I always get-go talking close the rules for parallel/perpendicular adjacent year, I'm going to larn my students drawing. I can't wait!
Quarter The Cross amongst 2 groups of students. I honey seeing what my students come upward up with. Often, they scream upward close the chore inwards a way I haven't which is super exciting. David Butler has shared yet about other awesome Quarter The Cross resources amongst the earth inwards a recent tweet. I scream upward this would hold out perfect to role amongst students on a 2nd run through of the action afterward they've had a adventure to sympathise the chore together with practise about of their own.
I know this adjacent tweet is science-y, but I scream upward math-y teachers could notice a way to notwithstanding adjust it to their classrooms. Plus, instantly that I'm a certified chemical scientific discipline teacher, you're going to accept to seat upward amongst to a greater extent than scientific discipline stuff on this blog! I honey this earlier together with afterward post-it action that was tweeted past times Kate Atherton. What a creative way to larn students interacting amongst the material!
As a kid, I loved making designs from perler beads (affiliate link)  . My sis together with I would pass hours making our designs "just perfect." Then, my mom would piece of job out the Fe together with melt the beads together. I jurist this is why I was super excited to encounter perler beads beingness used inwards a math lesson on twitter. Aileen Kelly shares how she uses the beads to accept students brand designs amongst symmetry. I don't learn geometry at the moment, but if I did I powerfulness challenge students to brand designs amongst dissimilar types of symmetry.
That's it until adjacent time! Thanks for reading!
