180 days of math post-its. Note: some lessons may be less sticky than others. Introducing systems of equations: graphing. Posted by Mary Dooms. I’ve run out of gas with my daily postings. Here’s what we did in pre-algebra on Friday. Many of my pre-algebra kids continually seek context, so I thought I’d head them off at the pass by introducing graphing systems of equations as an exploratory activity using a couple of word problems. Here’s one of them:. Question to guide their thinking. Posted by Mary Dooms.

Adventures in Middle School Mathiness. Why I Procrastinate – #July2014Challenge. Mtbos30 Day 16 (missing days 10-15). All of my life, I have been one who procrastinated. Mostly, it was to avoid pain. I greatly dislike being in some sort of pain or discomfort, so if I could put it off, I would. This extends from school work to exercise to yard work to dealing with issues with myself to dealing with other people. Recently, a friend of mine said this about her husband:. I know my students are this same way&...

The Wisdom of the Crowd: First Day Task? #msmathchat | TeacherPaulP
https://teacherpaulp.wordpress.com/2014/08/02/the-wisdom-of-the-crowd-first-day-task-msmathchat
Adventures in Middle School Mathiness. The Wisdom of the Crowd: First Day Task? Earlier this summer, I watched this video:. I wonder if we can make this into a task for our 6th, 7th, and 8th graders? Here’s my idea:. Each student will receive a slip of paper when they walk in, and will write their names and their guesses on them. As the slip is handed in, a teacher with their laptop will enter the name and guess in a spreadsheet. Is this a task worthy to be tried? August 2, 2014. Enter your comment here.

Adventures in Middle School Mathiness. Scanning and Grading Assessments #July2014Challenge. Day 8 #mtbos30 #July2014Challenge. On Students Grading Their Own Tests. Mylene had the students write a duplicate copy of the quiz to hand in, and one to keep and grade together. I think that could be a bit cumbersome for a test with longer answers, and using twice the amount of paper. Then she posted this:. The Scanner In My Pocket. Now this is a good idea! To do the scanning, hooked directly up to a computer.
