Pop Machine Functions | RitsemaMath
https://ritsemamath.wordpress.com/2016/10/26/pop-machine-functions
October 26, 2016. I teach functions using pop machines! Which in my opinion, is the best way for students to remember functions. In the second pop machine, every time you push button 1, you get a Diet Coke. But if you push button 2, sometimes you get Cherry Coke, and sometimes you get Fanta. For someone that only likes Cherry Coke, they’ll be so mad to get a Fanta! Every time you push button 3, you get water.] Because button 2 leads to angry people, this is not a function!

May 16, 2016. Long story short, I want to know what you do to motivate your students and tackle apathy. My math colleagues and I got talking this afternoon about the idea of reward systems in high school. I’m toying with the idea, but I hate the idea of rewarding things that are just expected. What are your thoughts on a reward system for freshmen (and perhaps sophomores)? Other ideas to tackle apathy? Quick Go-to Math Games (almost no supplies needed). On Quick Go-to Math Games (almost….

Quick Go-to Math Games (almost no supplies needed). August 17, 2016. I was looking for an activity/game that I could do with my students that would review order of operation and came across Witzzle; while it is good practice for order of operations, it’s also just a good general practice and I plan to keep using it throughout the year. With the amount of time I had, I asked them to try to find 15 of the 30 numbers; you could easily change this with the time limit you have. You try to find three cards tha...

Rational Expressions: The Mid-Class Launch

Hey, guys, it's Michael Pershan's blog! Series: On Feedback and Revision. Saturday, January 31, 2015. I've been thinking lately about how formative assessment and feedback can sometimes feel overwhelming. Maybe that's just the lay of the land, or maybe there's something we can do about that. Can formative assessment be more manageable? The bare-bones version of this can still make a big difference. Here's what it might look like:. MONDAY NIGHT: You read their work. You notice where they had trouble.

Just a crazy math teacher turned instructional coach. Middot; professional development. Middot; teaching resources. Musings about Assessing and Advancing Questions. January 30, 2016. January 30, 2016. But after hashing it out and then actually teaching the lesson, I realized that all of the planning was the best thing I could have possibly done for my students’ learning! So, any advice on how to help teachers see it as a valuable tool? What are your thoughts about it in general? Has anyone used it before?

Sine Of The Times: Sine Law
http://sine-of-the-times.blogspot.com/2015/02/sine-law.html
Saturday, February 7, 2015. Last semester I taught the Grade 11 College level math class. I was very disappointed to see that 12 out of 26 of my students had failed the course. Luckily, I get to teach the class again this semester. This means I can make some changes in the hopes of improving my students' understanding. This is a summary of my first change. I wanted them to look at the ratios (mentioned above) from a number of different triangles so I had them complete this handout. Posted by Dave Lanovaz.
