An idea that I really liked was having the students, in a geometry class, use the shapes that they have learned to design and create a multipurpose arena. From doing projects like this my students will understand how geometry is used in real life.]]> 2017-04-25 21:54:14 UTC https://padlet.com/maren_passey/v8n2ih8zo7m7/wish/168243796 maren_passey https://padlet.com/maren_passey/v8n2ih8zo7m7/wish/168244732 Something that I believe would be fun and memorable to do in math is to help construct. During my time here at UVU I was able to go to a neighborhood and help build a playground that would accommodate special needs children. During a measuring unit or when calculating areas this process is the same when helping build something. By having my students help the community with creating something such as a playground, it will also help them learn the concepts of the class.]]> 2017-04-25 22:03:22 UTC https://padlet.com/maren_passey/v8n2ih8zo7m7/wish/168244732 maren_passey https://padlet.com/maren_passey/v8n2ih8zo7m7/wish/168245376 In this website, the teacher finds cooperative learning so helpful that she used it almost in every lesson-which I also found easy when she explained how. The caution that she gives though is students need to learn how to do things on their own so it isn't healthy to do this learning all the time. The fun thing is with math, this can be done with the worksheets that are often handed out. Having students learn together is easy on the teacher and great for the student.]]> 2017-04-25 22:11:41 UTC https://padlet.com/maren_passey/v8n2ih8zo7m7/wish/168245376 maren_passey https://padlet.com/maren_passey/v8n2ih8zo7m7/wish/168246064 So this teacher at this website might have used a little bite of imagination (she used Santa's elves) but I think the concept would go well for another company. This is geometry based and the students and doing a layout and designing where they elves need to go. The students are solving the elves problems using the shapes that they have learned in class the previous day. I like this one because it is simple but it is different then a lecture.]]> 2017-04-25 22:19:06 UTC https://padlet.com/maren_passey/v8n2ih8zo7m7/wish/168246064 maren_passey https://padlet.com/maren_passey/v8n2ih8zo7m7/wish/168246830 I can see reciprocal teaching used when learning different functions and how they graph. When drawing graphs students are often able to see where the function is going but sometimes they can't. I would love to have them get in groups and predict where each function is going and then make statements of what will happen with functions that look the similar.]]> 2017-04-25 22:26:51 UTC https://padlet.com/maren_passey/v8n2ih8zo7m7/wish/168246830 maren_passey https://padlet.com/maren_passey/v8n2ih8zo7m7/wish/168247193 Something fun that the Math education students have to take is a Math Programs class. GeoGebra was one of my favorites to use. This site allowed you to move shapes easily, to graph functions, and to reflect objects with a click of a button. It was easy to see relationships when you could move things with a click of a mouse.]]> 2017-04-25 22:31:43 UTC https://padlet.com/maren_passey/v8n2ih8zo7m7/wish/168247193
