8th Grade: Lesson Reflection by Asma https://padlet.com/asmaismail/yo0kk2di0veofh5m Think back to the lesson you modified to incorporate more “student engagement”. Reflect on how that lesson went and be sure to name the activity you used for that lesson! en-us 2022-05-04 16:20:18 UTC 2026-01-18 15:37:28 UTC hello@padlet.com Quadratic Song https://padlet.com/asmaismail/yo0kk2di0veofh5m/wish/2175935145 When kids first saw the equation, they were overwhelmed, but after we listened to the song, they found using the formula to be "less scary." As students worked on practice problems, I had the song playing in the background. By the end of the lesson, students were singing along and had a better understanding of how to use the formula. ]]> 2022-05-09 15:31:58 UTC https://padlet.com/asmaismail/yo0kk2di0veofh5m/wish/2175935145 https://padlet.com/asmaismail/yo0kk2di0veofh5m/wish/2175936116 My 7th graders loved the song and were singing.  My 8th graders were too cool to sing, but I think it helped them know the formula.  
We will be exploring different methods of solving next week.]]> 2022-05-09 15:32:31 UTC https://padlet.com/asmaismail/yo0kk2di0veofh5m/wish/2175936116 Exponents https://padlet.com/asmaismail/yo0kk2di0veofh5m/wish/2175936259 sorted different forms of exponents to differentiate between how they look and to learn exponent vocabulary]]> 2022-05-09 15:32:36 UTC https://padlet.com/asmaismail/yo0kk2di0veofh5m/wish/2175936259 Alg 32 https://padlet.com/asmaismail/yo0kk2di0veofh5m/wish/2175937912 Haven't gotten to quadratic formula yet.

Tried group work for classwork last week - wasn't successful because they socialize too much

Going to try small group this week with vertex form to help students who are still confused]]> 2022-05-09 15:33:32 UTC https://padlet.com/asmaismail/yo0kk2di0veofh5m/wish/2175937912 Quadratic Formula https://padlet.com/asmaismail/yo0kk2di0veofh5m/wish/2175938028 Presented students a shell to map backwards on how to apply the quadratic formula and how to work through the steps to solve]]> 2022-05-09 15:33:36 UTC https://padlet.com/asmaismail/yo0kk2di0veofh5m/wish/2175938028 Alg 33 https://padlet.com/asmaismail/yo0kk2di0veofh5m/wish/2175939412 We did small group with students who were absent or needed more support with quadratic formula - it was successful and gave them a chance for more slower practice while the other group moved on to challenging problems]]> 2022-05-09 15:34:22 UTC https://padlet.com/asmaismail/yo0kk2di0veofh5m/wish/2175939412 Alg 32 https://padlet.com/asmaismail/yo0kk2di0veofh5m/wish/2175940495 We recently did an Escape Room review. Students were able to work in small teams in order to review. Prior to that we had them conduct an error analysis of problems that were factored incorrectly. We have many ideas for our upcoming lessons on Quadratic formula, but haven't implemented them yet.]]> 2022-05-09 15:34:54 UTC https://padlet.com/asmaismail/yo0kk2di0veofh5m/wish/2175940495 https://padlet.com/asmaismail/yo0kk2di0veofh5m/wish/2175942474 Alg 33 7th Grade
  • Quadratic Song (pop the weasel) All must sing

Did play multiple quadratic songs and had the kids sing along.  Some did memorize and sing randomly now so did work for some.

  • Unscramble steps of a quadratic problem showing all steps (students will put it in order in groups)

Students worked in assigned groups to identify mistakes/correct order. They would then have another group correct the steps and order.
