Feel free to use or change to what you need.]]> 2019-05-09 12:38:28 UTC https://padlet.com/rmiller90/vghs/wish/358430533 rmiller90 https://padlet.com/rmiller90/vghs/wish/358431165 I used this in the beginning of the year to get to know the students more as well as practice some basic math skills. Order of operations is difficult for many of my students and this became quite the challenge for them. ]]> 2019-05-09 12:39:53 UTC https://padlet.com/rmiller90/vghs/wish/358431165 rmiller90 https://padlet.com/rmiller90/vghs/wish/358431742 This activity was a great beginning of the school year activity to get the students collaborating in group. My students sit in pods of 4 and were not used to this in the beginning. ]]> 2019-05-09 12:41:11 UTC https://padlet.com/rmiller90/vghs/wish/358431742 rmiller90 https://padlet.com/rmiller90/vghs/wish/358433518 Here is a sample syllabus that I am using for next year for a freshman level class.

I cut the worksheet up and only give the students one slip at a time, with one for each group member. The group all has to complete it correctly and be able to explain their work in order to get the next slip. I normally gave 2 points of extra credit to the group that finished first, and 1 point to the groups that finished all the sheets by the end of the class period. ]]> 2019-05-09 12:47:44 UTC https://padlet.com/rmiller90/vghs/wish/358434925 rmiller90 https://padlet.com/rmiller90/vghs/wish/358436334 This year, we are using Eureka Math for our curriculum. While I do not like the curriculum for our school overall and we are changing it soon, there are a few lessons that are great! Lessons 17-20 all dealt with transformations of functions and allowed the students to explore. This is a good alternative to using desmos if your students cannot handle using their computers/chromebooks in class. I found it also beneficial since I have many students who still struggle with substitution of values and graphing points. ]]> 2019-05-09 12:50:50 UTC https://padlet.com/rmiller90/vghs/wish/358436334 rmiller90 https://padlet.com/rmiller90/vghs/wish/358439308 I noticed after the first month of classes, my students had no idea how to send a respectful or appropriate email to a teacher. On an early out day, we talked as a class on how to write an email. I had them practice the skill by sending me an email about a topic they cared about. ]]> 2019-05-09 12:56:28 UTC https://padlet.com/rmiller90/vghs/wish/358439308
