  1. @dcox21 A student's mom emailed me the link.
  2. Have you all seen this Eminem math parody? http://www.vimeo.com/7785044
  3. @JackieB I like the stations idea too... making it work effectively is the thing I am still working on.
  4. @JackieB based on their skill needs, with extension problems for the kids who get it all. Give up a day of "progress" so kids can catch up?
  5. @JackieB Maybe think about reteaching instead of review. They can figure out what skills they need to learn; break class into stations...
  6. @hemantmehta I love vegan Thanksgiving. Potatoes, cranberry relish, veggie sides, apple pie, and this year: http://bit.ly/36jWuf
  7. Our former photo teacher takes our department photos each year. Here's this year's... they are pretty badass: http://bit.ly/6y1M2w
  8. I did a lesson based on xkcd's Grapefruit cartoon. Fun. http://bit.ly/1psplt
  9. @druinok Yuck. What's the topic?
  10. Hi all. My colleague is ready to give twitter PLN a try. Has questions about quadrilaterals! @rtrochetdcp
  11. Cool! RT @davidwees Created my own algebra puzzle generator. Read about it here: http://is.gd/4RR97
  12. @Fouss (This is what I think about all day, every day) :)
  13. @Fouss But figuring out the root cause of the problem, and helping kids through it, is a difficult, time-consuming, non-linear process.
  14. @Fouss I think true laziness in kids is actually pretty rare. It usually is a cover for some kind of fear or insecurity.
  15. @Fouss The kids that don't try - do they really have the same skill level as those that do?
  16. @Fouss I only have experience with low skilled students, so that's the lens I always see things through.
  17. @Fouss You said the kids are dragging you down. Is it lack of motivation caused by skill deficits? Or are they trying but not getting it?
  18. @Fouss There are so many steps to one of these problems that putting it all together right away is too much for some kids, and they'll quit.
  19. @Fouss Also, give several feasible region graphs and a maximization function.
  20. @Fouss I would definitely chunk it out. First give them multiple problems where they only come up with the system, nothing else.
