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 7Life has been busy amongst the start of a novel schoolhouse year. I'm yet working on achieving that matter called work/life balance, in addition to then today's Mon Must Reads postal service volition last shorter than normal.
