Always, Sometimes, Never amongst Measures of Central Tendency

Recently, I tried out the Always, Sometimes, or Never? exercise construction amongst my Algebra 1 students.  We used this equally a last-minute review earlier our quiz over finding measures of key tendency.  

I gave students this laid of xi problems.  They were allowed to dyad upwardly to function through the problems.  I laid a timer on my telephone for five minutes.  Students worked inwards pairs without whatever aid from me during these five minutes.  


After the timer went off, nosotros went through each problem.  Groups shared their initial thinking, as well as thence the disagreements started!  I dear when my students disagree inwards math degree because it way they are thinking as well as explaining their thinking.

It was awesome to run across students alter their minds equally their immature human being students shared sets of numbers that disproved their hypotheses.

I definitely desire to contain this exercise construction into my classroom on a to a greater extent than regular basis.

One of my twitter friends suggested that I ready 3 sections of the room to signify Always, Sometimes, as well as Never.  Instead of having students but say their answers, they convey to physically movement to stand upwardly inwards the department that represents their thinking.  Then, students percentage their thinking.  Students maintain to percentage their thinking until the degree comes to a consensus as well as is standing inwards the same area.  Doesn't that audio awesome?!?

I've uploaded the file for this activeness here.  The Always, Sometimes, Never statements are non original.  I establish them on page 135 of this PDF.  I volition likely modify the questions earlier using them again.  My students were quite miffed that in that place ended upwardly beingness thence many "Sometimes" equally the right answer!

How to Make Pockets for Storing Notes inwards your Interactive Notebooks

I've been asked a few questions lately almost how I arrive at got my students brand pockets for their interactive notebooks.  I idea for certain I had blogged almost this already, but I couldn't discovery the weblog postal service anywhere!  

I arrive at got my students brand pockets for their interactive notebooks whenever I'm giving them a bunch of similar papers that don't demand their ain split upward pages.  We arrive at got a LOT of notes, then many of my Algebra 1 students arrive at got had to get down a novel notebook purpose agency through the year.  Making pockets helps forestall them from going through pages *too* fast.  Of course, I ever arrive at got the students who turn down to write on the dorsum side of their notebook pages.  These students FLY through notebooks no affair what!  

H5N1 few years ago, I used to arrive at got my students brand pockets for their notebooks using the actual notebook pages.  This worked great, but I can't pick out myself to waste materials a precious notebook page to brand a steal anymore! 


Here's what our pockets expect similar lately: 


Usually, I write a championship on the steal to push clit the contents.  I did championship this ane "Measures of Central Tendency" afterward I took the photo!  

Begin amongst a sail of colored paper. 


Fold the newspaper inward half, "hamburger style."


Unfold the newspaper to disclose the crease.


Cut along the crease.  Each steal alone requires ane sail of paper.  Whenever nosotros brand pockets, I volition arrive at got kids yoke upward too portion a sail of paper.  They ever larn into the cutest debates over what color of newspaper to utilisation for their pockets!


Position the newspaper inward front end of yous then the long border is facing you.


Fold this border away from yous almost 1-2 inches.


Fold the left border 1-2 inches over to the right.


Find the papers that volition last held inward your pocket.  We volition desire to utilisation them to brand certain nosotros larn our steal sized properly.  Often, kids volition skip this footstep at the commencement of the year.  They won't realize that they arrive at got made their steal ridiculously minor until they larn to lay inward their papers!


Slide the papers into the partial pocket.


Fold the correct border over.  Make certain yous exit some wiggle room!


Now, we've made all of our creases.  We're almost done!


Unfold everything.


Place a chip of gum inward the bottom correct too left corners.


Fold them up.



Place a chip of gum on the novel bottom correct too left corners.


Fold them over.


Apply gum only about the right, left, too bottom edges.


Stick the steal inward your interactive notebook.


Slide inward your notes.  The firstly fourth dimension yous slide inward your notes, it may last a chip tricky to larn them to fit.  Sometimes some of the gum escapes too pins downward purpose of the pocket.  This is unremarkably easily fixed past times sliding your paw into the pocket.
