They would have to look up specifications for there arch for how tall it is and how wide it is to be able to have an accurate equation. They will then present their project with some fun facts about their arch and how they were able to come about finding the quadratic equation for it.]]> 2020-04-07 23:03:10 UTC https://padlet.com/spmn26/r3d238pu8vc3/wish/497736891 spmn26 https://padlet.com/spmn26/r3d238pu8vc3/wish/497760221 The attached website explains how we can use math equations as prompts for inquiry learning. You could use any equation for any section and use this method. It allows the students to explore the equation on their own and come up with their own conclusions.]]> 2020-04-07 23:39:57 UTC https://padlet.com/spmn26/r3d238pu8vc3/wish/497760221 spmn26 https://padlet.com/spmn26/r3d238pu8vc3/wish/497769707 Attached is a website that explains reciprocal teaching, has a lesson plan, and has a worksheet for students to fill out while they go through the lesson is their groups. It has vocabulary for the students to discuss and it promotes conversation amongst their groups.]]> 2020-04-07 23:51:44 UTC https://padlet.com/spmn26/r3d238pu8vc3/wish/497769707 spmn26 https://padlet.com/spmn26/r3d238pu8vc3/wish/499162890 jigsaw is great for math! The students will be put in groups to learn how to expand an equation that is assigned to them at the beginning of the lesson so they will come up with their own method of expanding the equation and then they will split into expert groups and share their method of how to expand. The worksheet attached is what they will use to do this.]]> 2020-04-08 17:07:38 UTC https://padlet.com/spmn26/r3d238pu8vc3/wish/499162890 spmn26 https://padlet.com/spmn26/r3d238pu8vc3/wish/499183294 In a geometry class students could learn how to draw basic blueprints of buildings and learn how to scale the measurements. They could then take this knowledge of shapes and measuring to help build houses with habitat for humanity as part of an end of the year service learning project.]]> 2020-04-08 17:18:12 UTC https://padlet.com/spmn26/r3d238pu8vc3/wish/499183294 spmn26 https://padlet.com/spmn26/r3d238pu8vc3/wish/499196120 Constructivism is actually really important for math education. In a traditional math ed classroom students are given facts and equations that they are expected to memorize and then regurgitate. With a constructivism approach however, students explore the content and really work at making it concrete in their heads. They commit the information to their long-term memory and then are able to scaffold on it.]]> 2020-04-08 17:24:49 UTC https://padlet.com/spmn26/r3d238pu8vc3/wish/499196120
