Our Experience with a Non-Curricular Math Task by Micaela Kaye https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy en-us 2022-03-14 18:45:36 UTC 2022-03-29 15:23:54 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119593529 Fun but I get along with all of my teammates]]> 2022-03-29 15:18:17 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119593529 https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119593556 A tiny bit harder to write but definitely much easier to be present and engaged ]]> 2022-03-29 15:18:18 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119593556 https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119593913 I felt fine, but I also know everyone ]]> 2022-03-29 15:18:29 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119593913 Lots of assumptions based upon what I saw. No measurements - distance or angles to confirm what I saw. https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119593948 2022-03-29 15:18:30 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119593948 https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119594403 Fine! I know and like all these people so that made it easy and comfortable ]]> 2022-03-29 15:18:43 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119594403 I felt like I could move around https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119594564 2022-03-29 15:18:48 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119594564 It was fun to work in groups and take turns writing and sharing out. We had different ways of seeing things, but we could also see how it was all connected. https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119594714 2022-03-29 15:18:51 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119594714 I liked working on a task like this because it was visual and I got to see how other people saw the pieces. I also felt like the ramp up was appropriate. kristel_chewsales https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119594744 2022-03-29 15:18:52 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119594744 I don't mind it but I have a slight preference for not having a defined up-down. https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119594933 2022-03-29 15:18:57 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119594933 https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119595173 It was fun to think about the different ways to approach solving the problem and justifying our numbers.]]> 2022-03-29 15:19:03 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119595173 I like it a lot. I feel like it makes students more engaged when I have done this in class. https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119595306 2022-03-29 15:19:07 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119595306 https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119595343 I enjoyed the openness of the activity. It did not feel as if we were just solving problems because we were working together to put together the pieces.]]> 2022-03-29 15:19:08 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119595343 Good! As the writer who isn't supposed to write their own ideas it was tempting to turn off my brain and JUST transcribe https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119595545 2022-03-29 15:19:15 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119595545 I did not mind the random seating because I got to sit with people I may no normally sit with and I got to talk to a new person kristel_chewsales https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119595742 2022-03-29 15:19:20 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119595742 ok because I know everyone. I think it would have been uncomfortable if I didn't know any of these people https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119595769 2022-03-29 15:19:21 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119595769 https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119595868 I enjoy working with people I normally do not interact with. Brings many fresh perspectives. ]]> 2022-03-29 15:19:23 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119595868 Though I mostly know everyone, it put me a bit on edge - not knowing who I was going to work with. https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119595888 2022-03-29 15:19:24 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119595888 Liked it https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119595900 Though as a tall person, writing towards the bottom hurt 😁]]> 2022-03-29 15:19:24 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119595900 https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119596010 Fawkward (fun + awkward)]]> 2022-03-29 15:19:28 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119596010 https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119596032 It was fun to think about from different contexts. Geo vs algebra etc]]> 2022-03-29 15:19:29 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119596032 I liked it a lot. I like the movement. kristel_chewsales https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119596710 2022-03-29 15:19:42 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119596710 https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119597014 I appreciated hearing the thoughts of the other members about how they approached each example.]]> 2022-03-29 15:19:51 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119597014 https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119597079 I enjoy not having the stress of finding a seat at the beginning of “class”]]> 2022-03-29 15:19:53 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119597079 https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119597197 I liked standing up at the whiteboards. It felt a little more casual and a little less intense (like, we weren't staring each other down, but rather had a common place to put our focus).]]> 2022-03-29 15:19:56 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119597197 https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119597339 Works great with me. I prefer standing usually. ]]> 2022-03-29 15:20:00 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119597339 https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119597384 Nice change but some might tend to wander ]]> 2022-03-29 15:20:01 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119597384 One person used the marker the whole time. I could have asked if I could write. https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119597444 2022-03-29 15:20:03 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119597444 https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119597547 It gave me a chance to hear the ideas of people I don’t know as well ]]> 2022-03-29 15:20:06 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119597547 For students, I worry if there is some "beef" with some kids and accommodations of kids that there is too many things to remember when I give out random seating. Maybe as a teacher I would get used to it https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119597559 2022-03-29 15:20:07 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119597559 I had trouble connecting since I didn't really believe the cake story and knowing the proportion/percentage didn't interest me. But I tried to be interested in the math. https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119597581 2022-03-29 15:20:07 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119597581 It seems to speed up the work because it is tiring standing up and thinking for me. https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119597741 2022-03-29 15:20:12 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119597741 https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119597761 I really enjoyed being able to cooperate and talk to others. Drawing the squares on the grids was fun. 
There was no stress in this work. It gave a really nice visual representation of fractions without stressing the fact that we have to work on fractions ( as a student perspective)]]> 2022-03-29 15:20:13 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119597761 Good buildup https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119598654 Started easy and accessible, but I see how it ramps up. Liked that students needed to check in with other students, not the teacher.]]> 2022-03-29 15:20:39 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119598654 https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119598842 I do math best when I am standing and moving! I really liked how easy it is to work as a group when you’re standing at a board.]]> 2022-03-29 15:20:43 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119598842 I like standing. Makes everything feel more live https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119598943 2022-03-29 15:20:46 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119598943 https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119599873 I liked it. We were all able to engage without someone having to look at the work upside down from across the table. ]]> 2022-03-29 15:21:13 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119599873 I appreciated the team task norms, especially how we shouldn't erase any ideas/suggestions/wonderings and that the writer/idea giver are two different people. https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119600490 2022-03-29 15:21:29 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119600490 I like the fact there were no measurements only that the shape was a square. https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119601272 2022-03-29 15:21:53 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119601272 https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119601297 This is a great problem with low floor and high ceiling. Wonderfully designed!]]> 2022-03-29 15:21:53 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119601297 Circle Time https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119601436 Makes me wonder if all Alg1 classes should be desk-less. Everyone criss cross applesauces at the start and end of class, but is up at work stations the rest of the time.]]> 2022-03-29 15:21:58 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119601436 I think picking a card to pick seats made me realize that seating is really random. https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119603147 2022-03-29 15:22:49 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119603147 https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119603934 I really enjoyed that the activity got more difficult as it progressed]]> 2022-03-29 15:23:12 UTC https://padlet.com/micaela_kaye/myraucdpuy7oc2vy/wish/2119603934
