-a Conceptual Inquiry module designed to provide teachers with the tools to initiate meaningful inquiry based discussions
-challenging educators 
-designed to work on every type of device
-a series of mini lessons allowing students to develop a deep understanding of a concept
-promoting creative approaches to mathemeatics
-purposeful practice, developing a growth mindset in students; students are offered an unlimited number of attempts at each assignment
-remarkably increasing student engagement levels and student confidence and changing student attitudes toward mathematics
-a system that allows teachers to differentiate materials to every student in the class, filling gaps in learning or achieving a deeper conceptual understanding of a topic
-a Dynamic Resources hub: MHS takes the best conceptual resources available online and links them to lessons within the course curriculum so that teachers no longer need to look for great conceptual hooks to new topics
-focused on professional support: they send their ed-tech reps into schools to walk teachers through the software and discuss how to best fit MHS into their teaching style; blended learning is not a one size fits all model]]> 2018-05-21 13:58:37 UTC https://padlet.com/crystal_bigmac/pockv0c97aka/wish/262364645 crystal_bigmac https://padlet.com/crystal_bigmac/pockv0c97aka/wish/262373273 2018-05-21 14:19:29 UTC https://padlet.com/crystal_bigmac/pockv0c97aka/wish/262373273 crystal_bigmac https://padlet.com/crystal_bigmac/pockv0c97aka/wish/262373621 Please click on the Google link to read about the student who motivated me to incorporate MHS in my classroom.

-when we want our students to develop a deep understanding of a concept and promote creative approaches using the students’ prior knowledge
-when we want students to begin viewing mathematics topics as coherent and connected pieces of a larger puzzle rather than isolated skills to be remembered
-when we want to engage students by rewarding effort and progress rather than results
-when we want to reach students with different learning levels and unique needs (physical or mental)
-when we want to embrace and integrate technology in the classroom]]> 2018-05-21 14:33:07 UTC https://padlet.com/crystal_bigmac/pockv0c97aka/wish/262378132 crystal_bigmac https://padlet.com/crystal_bigmac/pockv0c97aka/wish/262392955 2018-05-21 15:10:39 UTC https://padlet.com/crystal_bigmac/pockv0c97aka/wish/262392955 crystal_bigmac https://padlet.com/crystal_bigmac/pockv0c97aka/wish/262397709 I absolutely love working with MHS and I have seen its benefits the last 2 years, but as with any other learning platform, it has its issues:

-there are often formatting problems if the student wants to print tables or graphs; parts can get cut off or the writing might be too small
-a reliable high-speed internet connection is required at all times
-the integrated calculator can be too advanced for some students, making it very difficult and confusing to use
-if you have small classes (i.e. under 20 students). the ed techs usually do not come to your school to provide teacher training; this is not indicated on the website]]> 2018-05-21 15:21:04 UTC https://padlet.com/crystal_bigmac/pockv0c97aka/wish/262397709 crystal_bigmac https://padlet.com/crystal_bigmac/pockv0c97aka/wish/262397817 The MHS Website:
