I used the writing prompt builder to have students respond to an open ended question. This allowed me to check for understanding with systems of equations. Students completed the task as an exit ticket.

Students were given four math problems and asked to analyze the given solutions.  They were told that one solution was flawed, and that they should find the flaw and correct it.  The sample problems were varied to bring in a wider range of problems.  The problems included finding slope from two points and from an equation, putting a linear inequality in slope-intercept form, and determining whether given lines were parallel

Students used Discovery Ed to research a career that they are interested in. After we spent a few days in the library and on our tablets, they wrote a paper on the requirements for their career, the yearly salary, daily responsibilities, and also if they think they are still interested in that career.

Students were organized in teams and competed against each other on quizzes.  This has been a good activity to review before an assessment

The paper slide was part of the board builder assignment in my Career Prep class. When the students did their presentations, I played their paper slide that they posted to their board builder.

In my Prerequisite Algebra class, we used stations to show the different ways we can utilize information to write the equation of a line.
Students worked in groups and showed their work to get each equation in slope-intercept form. I also asked students to leave "hints" on the white boards or on sticky notes as they left a station.

I adapted the Four-to-One strategy to have students complete a pre-scripted sentence "I would use _________ method because...." to determine the best method to solve a linear system. Students had to verbalize their reasoning and justify their responses.

Students were shown a picture of a right triangle, for 10 seconds, 15 seconds, and then 30 seconds. The first 2 times they were shown the picture, I asked them to write down anything they noticed about the picture. The third time I showed them the picture, I asked them to write down questions I may ask about the picture. Students then compared their notes, and answered the questions they thought I might ask.

In my Career Prep class, students worked in groups to put together a presentation using board builder. I assigned topics from Discovery Education, so the students would learn about topics such as Time Management, Study Habits, Test Taking Skills, and other good habits.

I brought a ball to class and allowed students to team up and answer questions. Once a student answered a question correctly, they were able to pass the ball to a teammate. The last person to answer correctly got to shoot the ball into the trashcan for points.
The strategy worked a lot better than I originally expected. Several students were really excited about shooting and passing the ball, and they encouraged their team to answer the questions correctly. I feared someone throwing the ball too hard or something getting broke, but they did a really good job.

I used stations again in my Algebra class, but this time I did not allow the students to work in groups. The strategy was still successful and treating the assignment as a quiz really cut down on any behavior problems you may have with more difficult classes. Some students preferred to stay at their desks for the majority of the assignment, while others sat in different desks or used clipboards to do the problems around the room.

Students created step by step explanations to problems in our section on rational functions

I presented to the math department the Writing Prompt Builder. I showed them how easy it was to use, and how students could strengthen literacy skills with a creative and engaging platform.

I presented an SOS strategy to our math department, titled "3 Truths and a Lie". I helped them understand the activity and also led them to the discovery-ed site to find more SOS strategies.
