Trying to make it matter. It Was Fun While It Lasted. Personal Responsibility vs. Learning? January 23, 2010. Are You Kidding Me? Apparently, they were effective, though. The countenance of the class went from chin-on-hand-it’s-Friday-I’m-tired-here-we-are-now-entertain-us to thank-you-sir-may-we-try-another-cuz-this-is-some-cool-stuff-and-I’m-gettin’-it. Its tough to reproduce lessons like that so I exported the notes to .pdf and emailed them to the absent students. 8220;Thanks for the notes! I have alw...

Metacog…what? | Questions?
https://coxmathblog.wordpress.com/2010/01/18/metacog-what
Trying to make it matter. Why I Love Twitter: Reason #247. January 18, 2010. The move to middle school has really allowed me to consider not only why we do what we do, but why students do what they do. I had one such opportunity the other day during my introduction to quadratics. Filling out the table took all of 30 seconds because my students are very good at following directions. 8220;4 what = 12? The answer’s 8. Obvious. And they got this answer as if it were a thoughtless reflex. As long as column 1 ...

If he has an effective way to demonstrate to students how the horizontal velocity of a projectile is not affected by gravity. 12:00pm: He sends me this link. Yeah, that pretty much sums it up.

The Easter Egg Hunt | Questions?
https://coxmathblog.wordpress.com/2009/04/08/the-easter-egg-hunt
Trying to make it matter. I’m Jumping In. The Easter Egg Hunt. April 8, 2009. I made up a practice test. Covering the standards that would be assessed, uploaded it to voicethread. I think I really like this activity. Students not only have to work out each problem themselves, but they have to view another’s work critically. I would love to hear what you think.

Triangle Centers Lab | Questions?
https://coxmathblog.wordpress.com/2009/12/10/triangle-centers-lab
Trying to make it matter. To Wiki or Not to Wiki. December 10, 2009. The other day I made up a triangle centers lab. For my 8th graders. Here is how it went:. Homework for tonight is to make a triangle larger than your hand out of some material heavier than paper. Cardstock or cardboard are ideal. Open GeoGebra and get to work. Kids got after it. Some slowed themselves down by not reading directions very well. The nice thing about GeoGebra is that it’s easy to erase. 8220;Yeeeeaah kinda, huh? Stamp each ...

Trying to make it matter. To Wiki or Not to Wiki. December 4, 2009. I know, I know:. 8220;Using a tool for it’s own sake is bad pedagogy.”. 8220;Have an objective and then find the tool that will help you best meet that objective.”. 8220;If your favorite tool is a hammer, everything looks like a nail.”. Blah, blah, blah. What if you didn’t know if your objective was even possible until you tried out the tool? I completely understand Kate’s frustration. Why can’t we do that? I originally created this wiki.

The Easter Egg | Questions?
https://coxmathblog.wordpress.com/2010/01/20/the-easter-egg
Trying to make it matter. Personal Responsibility vs. Learning? January 20, 2010. Gotta thank Kate for introducing me to the Row Game. I also like the idea of using box.net as a way for teachers to upload and share. So I introduced the “Easter Egg.” I have used this concept in the past when doing test review. Basically, I hide wrong answers so students need are a little more alert when looking at the solution to a problem. How does this work for row games? Today I rolled out this row game. Looks like a g...
