Common Core - Algebra 1

My district just had a professional development day that was spent on looking at how the common core is changing our Algebra 1 course and how we are going to implement the 8 practices into our teaching.  We also met with the middle school teachers and found out how the curriculum and topics are changing in the middle school and how that will impact the skills that our students will come into high school with. In my district we are not changing very much of the content for next year.  We were…See More

Graphing Quadratic Functions

I am getting ready to teach graphing quadratic functions and am posting 3 lessons. The first is an old fashioned paper and pencil activity that involves making a table of values and exploring the effects of a, b & c on the quadratic function family in standard form.I use it every year.  It is an easy introduction to the features of the quadratic function, promotes good discussion and is a resource that I refer back to throughout the unit. The second is a graphing calculator investigation on…See More

Trying out the new video camera

I decided to try out my new video camera and set it up on a little tripod in the back of the classroom while I did an activity with my Algebra 2 class today.  It was a very interesting experiment!

I told my students what I was doing, it was for my own personal use and to carry on as usual.  Here are some of the observations I made while I was going through the activity:

It kept me really focused on my personal goals for the activity.  I was working on wait time, giving clear…

ACT/MME preparation

I teach both Algebra 1 and Algebra 2.  In our district we spend time in Algebra 2 for review targeted to MME preparation.   I was wondering if any other districts spend time preparing their students for the MME. 

I concentrated a lot on reviewing geometry topics last year since our students take geometry in 9th grade and algebra 1 in 10th grade.  I attended a workshop at the DACTM conference last fall where the presenter said to really review the pythagorean triples and right triangle…
