I is a number. High school math and occasional rants about poor grammar. Monday, April 21, 2014. I need to blog. So, I'm writing/editing NBCT portfolio entries today and I need a break from precision writing. These next three weeks are going to fly by and I'm somewhat fearful that I'm not going to finish getting everything together the way in needs to be. What made this valuable was that I wasn't the one initiating the praise; I also hadn't graded the assignments yet, so we saw what the students thought ...

i is a number: My Foldable Notebook for Teachers
http://iisanumber.blogspot.com/2015/07/my-foldable-notebook-for-teachers.html
I is a number. High school math and occasional rants about poor grammar. Tuesday, July 28, 2015. My Foldable Notebook for Teachers. As I reflected on the use of Foldables more, I recognized that I was approaching content differently. I would ask myself, "What is the main idea? Followed by, "What are the supporting ideas? And when the novelty wears off, so too does the learning! Sure Will all of us have a brand that other teachers in other schools can identify? Not unless we blog or tweet A LOT and have h...

I is a number. High school math and occasional rants about poor grammar. Friday, July 25, 2014. TMC Day 2- Friday, June 25, 2014. Day 1 of #TMC14 was great. Day 2 made it even harder to choose sessions. There were literally three or four things I wanted to do in each slot. We need more than three days or to record the sessions for viewing later! We started with morning announcements and another round of My Favorites. 4 Glenn Waddell (@gwaddellnvhs) shared that an old smart phone can become a great (free)...

I is a number. High school math and occasional rants about poor grammar. Wednesday, May 28, 2014. You all have that. Kid You know, the one who grates on every nerve in your body. The one that somehow knows every button to press. The one that seems to invent new ways to get in trouble and is always being clever at circumventing your attempts to get him to actually do his work. Or is it just me? Today I was surprised by a visit from that. Sunday, May 18, 2014. Next month, I'll be presenting my use of inter...

i is a number: Students' racial identities
http://iisanumber.blogspot.com/2014/11/students-racial-identities.html
I is a number. High school math and occasional rants about poor grammar. Monday, November 24, 2014. One of the African American students said he wondered if his pen pal was black. I told him I knew the area where our pen pals live wasn't very diverse (I'd lived nearby a few years ago) and I doubted it; the odds aren't in his favor. He seemed disappointed. What role does race play in your classroom? Mathematically (and linguistically) yours,. November 24, 2014 at 6:38 PM. November 24, 2014 at 7:20 PM.

i is a number: Absolute Value Functions Part 2
http://iisanumber.blogspot.com/2015/03/absolute-value-functions-part-2.html
I is a number. High school math and occasional rants about poor grammar. Wednesday, March 11, 2015. Absolute Value Functions Part 2. My mistake: I used the problem after my students knew too much about writing absolute value functions, so going back to linear functions seemed odd to my students. We got through parts I and II today. Tomorrow we'll tackle the graphing calculator-heavy extension. What's your favorite way to teach absolute value functions? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

I is a number. High school math and occasional rants about poor grammar. Wednesday, June 18, 2014. Interactive Notebook Professional Development Presentation. I've been leading PD at my school for several years now; I think I did my first session back in 2010, but most times I've been part of a team unless I was just presenting to math teachers from my building. Here's my presentation. If you're thinking of getting started with ISNs, feel free to go through it and ask any questions you may have. ...High ...

I is a number. High school math and occasional rants about poor grammar. Wednesday, September 24, 2014. Linear Equation Sorting Update. Each time, I got a version of, "Oh, there are six graphs! Sorting took off quickly then. It took quite some time for the groups to sort the cards into the six groups. I'm glad that I included both positive and negative 3/2 as a slope because I was able to catch some misconceptions there. It also helped that repeated a y-intercept for the same reason. Once students have t...
