Using Flubaroo to Update Students on Their SBG Progress | The Problem Bank
https://jdevarona.wordpress.com/2012/10/26/flubaroo-for-sbg
Math, PrBL, and SBG. October 26, 2012 / Jeff d. Using Flubaroo to Update Students on Their SBG Progress. So I can’t directly use the gradebook for this. (For example, even though I label all of my assignments according to the concept, I still have to score them on a 10 point scale). Anyway, here is what it can look like with Flubaroo. Open the spreadsheet. It’ll look like this:. You can add more standards to the right of this column and repeat. When you’re done, have Flubaroo grade it. The e-mail looks l...

How Do We Grade? – Grading and Reporting in a PBL/PrBL Math Class | The Problem Bank
https://jdevarona.wordpress.com/2012/07/15/how-do-we-grade-grading-and-reporting-in-a-pblprbl-math-class
Math, PrBL, and SBG. July 15, 2012 / Jeff d. How Do We Grade? 8211; Grading and Reporting in a PBL/PrBL Math Class. Assessing Mastery with Cooperative Learning:. So our school uses all PBL and PrBL, working through complex problems and projects in small groups. So how are we supposed to assess. Well, the only time we work individually is when we need to demonstrate content knowledge (i.e. a quiz or other form of assessment). So what does that look like in my math classroom? 3 Last year I used BlueHarvest.

My Virtual Filing Cabinet. A first-year know-little try-lots. Laquo; Graphing Sine and Cosine – Graffiti Wall. If I had a million dollars…. August 15, 2012 by Molly Kate. I really did not want to think about teaching this summer at all as evidenced by my complete hiatus from blogging and twitter. Don’t hate me, let me back in to your circle! I swear I’ll read and comment on all of your latest blog posts… OK I’m begging now. To get right down to it – I’ve begun working again. 4 The kids hated it. The only...

DEATH TO GRADES: The “Reveal” | What is 5?
https://jdmahlstedt.wordpress.com/2014/09/02/death-to-grades-the-reveal
Trying to change attitudes and perceptions about math, one middle schooler at a time. Daily Dose of Teaching Awesome. DEATH TO GRADES: The “Reveal”. Throughout every presentation I saw mixed reactions on the faces of parents. I did see a lot of little smiles and agreeing nods when I mentioned things like there shouldn’t be a time limit on learning, or when I showed them Bowman’s Angry Birds SBG analogy. Here’s the kicker, I sent home with the parents a feedback form asking the following 3 questions:.

jdmahlstedt | What is 5?
https://jdmahlstedt.wordpress.com/author/jdmahlstedt
Trying to change attitudes and perceptions about math, one middle schooler at a time. Daily Dose of Teaching Awesome. Things I need right now…. I need to have more free time at home with my family. Not doing the show will hopefully free up a lot of time for me to just be able to be at home and have free time to hang out with my wife, play with my baby, and cook dinner (my wife especially encouraged this part). I need to be a (much) better teacher in general. I need to write better assessments. Family, te...

Silliness: The Expo Graveyard | Writing to Learn to Teach

Skip to main content. Skip to secondary content. Writing to Learn to Teach. Some thoughts from a middle school math teacher. Silliness: The Expo Graveyard. September 18, 2012. This year, we’ve used either large or small whiteboards in my classroom just about every single day. I feel great about this – and I know that the kids love it. Unfortunately, I’m here today to report on a totally irritating whiteboarding-induced problem. The problem is this: My kids kill Expo markers at a staggeringly fast rate.

Protocols for Mathematical Discussions | The Problem Bank
https://jdevarona.wordpress.com/2013/05/09/discussions
Math, PrBL, and SBG. May 9, 2013 / Jeff d. Protocols for Mathematical Discussions. I’ve tried to make mathematical discussions a much larger part of my class. Here’s what I’ve done. To begin, my school is very protocol-driven. We use many of the protocols from the National School Reform Faculty. Among others, along with protocols we create, tune, and share amongst ourselves. I use all kinds of protocols in class, including to run discussions. So these are what I’ve used this year. Pros: Allows those with...

Let ’em Discover It… | The Problem Bank
https://jdevarona.wordpress.com/2012/10/01/let-em-discover-it
Math, PrBL, and SBG. October 1, 2012 / Jeff d. Let ’em Discover It…. Nope…that’s not a typo. Almost every day I have moments where I think about how I teach now versus how I would have taught it several years ago. I definitely had one of those moments today. I spent 20 minutes after school helping a learner understand that calculating the mean requires that we divide by how many numbers are in the set (his misconception was that we always divide by 2). It would have been. On a related note, last year we ...
