Miguel Morell's Learning Diary by Miguel Morell https://padlet.com/manifold2/8fb29714coa5 Currently taking the course "Introducing Project-Based Learning" en-us 2017-10-16 14:59:31 UTC 2025-01-21 20:02:50 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/File.png My name is Miguel, I'm a math teacher at a high school. I would like to learn more about project-based learning to take into my classroom. manifold2 https://padlet.com/manifold2/8fb29714coa5/wish/197398057 2017-10-16 15:09:40 UTC https://padlet.com/manifold2/8fb29714coa5/wish/197398057 manifold2 https://padlet.com/manifold2/8fb29714coa5/wish/197429107 2017-10-16 15:58:34 UTC https://padlet.com/manifold2/8fb29714coa5/wish/197429107 DAILY ROUTINE IN MY CLASSES: I'm a math teacher. My classes are student-centered. Most of the days are the students themselves who correct the rest of the activities that are done. One day a week I use the computer lab to see a real application of the contents studied. For example we are now studying the percentages and we are learning excel at the same time in the computer lab. At first they did not know excel and now they are doing PBL working on the idea that they are entrepreneurs and need to keep the accounting and registration of all products that are sold ... etc manifold2 https://padlet.com/manifold2/8fb29714coa5/wish/197653454 2017-10-17 06:21:41 UTC https://padlet.com/manifold2/8fb29714coa5/wish/197653454 OPINION: The greatest difficulty is to find activities that cover the contents marked by the educational administrations. Sometimes it is simple but in others it becomes a very difficult task to perform. manifold2 https://padlet.com/manifold2/8fb29714coa5/wish/197654922 2017-10-17 06:30:53 UTC https://padlet.com/manifold2/8fb29714coa5/wish/197654922 QUESTION: Explain the process of build the wings of a plne by using an airplane toy.

This is one of my remind groups. manifold2 https://padlet.com/manifold2/8fb29714coa5/wish/199578337 2017-10-23 14:02:09 UTC https://padlet.com/manifold2/8fb29714coa5/wish/199578337 INVOLVING PARENTS: Use the association of mothers and fathers as a jury member for a drawing competition, projects ... manifold2 https://padlet.com/manifold2/8fb29714coa5/wish/199856661 2017-10-24 05:50:29 UTC https://padlet.com/manifold2/8fb29714coa5/wish/199856661 HOW TO MOTIVATE manifold2 https://padlet.com/manifold2/8fb29714coa5/wish/201751399 Most of the times I stuck trying to explain a concept with a group are due to not being placed in the student's position. It is very important to empathize to have another perspective. Also know how to start from scratch, without any previous information. I consider both things fundamental also to take into account in our daily problems.]]> 2017-10-30 14:51:45 UTC https://padlet.com/manifold2/8fb29714coa5/wish/201751399 RESILIENCE: I believe that it is important to influence students to be positive. In addition we must enhance their skills and promote self-esteem. All of this is basic to strengthening resilience. manifold2 https://padlet.com/manifold2/8fb29714coa5/wish/201769909 2017-10-30 15:21:55 UTC https://padlet.com/manifold2/8fb29714coa5/wish/201769909 ACTIVITY: A store seller knows the cost prices and sales prices.

On the other hand, it is important that certain personal minimums are reached that must be agreed upon by the teaching team according to the personal characteristics of each student. manifold2 https://padlet.com/manifold2/8fb29714coa5/wish/203971210 2017-11-06 16:26:20 UTC https://padlet.com/manifold2/8fb29714coa5/wish/203971210 PBL manifold2 https://padlet.com/manifold2/8fb29714coa5/wish/204683889 ACTIVITY: A store seller knows the cost prices and sales prices. How would you create a excel chart so that net benefits appear based on the number of items you sell from each product?
TLA QUESTIONS:
What is the relationship between the cost price, the sale price and the profit?
Is it better to consider the benefit of each unit or to separate it by groups of the same type?
What columns are you going to have to consider to create the calculation sheet?
What formulas will you use to create excel?
WARM UP:
Calculate x percent of y
Perform a simulation through a game to reflect before starting
METHODOLOGY
Work in groups of four, share and discuss with your peers
Prepare a presentation for the rest of class
Make some graphs or charts to clarify
Small debate of the whole group, in which we ask our students in which facets of their daily life they use without realizing the fractions and the decimal numbers
Survey on the different columns that our students would use.
Activities and problems (trying to be related to food or clothing or shoes and discounts) that facilitate the development of specific content of mathematics
Presentation by groups to the rest of the class
ASSESSMENT TOOLS
Daily observation in class.
 Student's notebook.
 Written tests.
 Exhibition of the different proposed works.
 Group work.
 Interest and motivation when carrying out different Jobs.
