Teaching Probability & Statistics through Game Shows

This is the link to the NCTM website with a 2 part lesson featuring a simulation based on the game show The Price is Right and probability theory.  The lesson has a nice introduction, student activity pages with an answer key provided.  The simulation uses the graphing calculator to simulate tossing dice, but it can easily be done by tossing real dice.I saved a pdf copy of the lesson also.…See More

Function Families - Algebra 2

I put this together as a beginning of the 2nd semester activity for my Algebra 2 classes.  I wanted the students to become familiar with graphing using the TI-Nspire calculators, work together in groups, review the function families they had studied and preview the functions that were coming up in the new semester.  After they had time to work on the graphs I had each group draw a number and they were responsible for putting their paper under the document camera and presenting their findings. …See More

Trying out the new video camera

Posted on March 21, 2011 at 6:41pm 1 Comment

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

Posted on January 23, 2011 at 1:42pm 1 Comment

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…
