A lesson video I posted to teachertube on how we celebrated the 100th day of school this year! (a little late, but better late than never…)

The understanding of exponents can be a tricky concept to teach mainly because the amount of rules that go along with it. To make it easier and a bit more exciting for my students I gave them the option to do a parody song to get a better understanding of exponents. This assignment alone has been something that my Algebra 1 students bring up…Read More

We’re reviewing patterns and pattern types! My students love using manipulatives to show their understanding

Students worked with a partner and chose from three cookie recipes. They chose the cookie that wanted to make.

Here is a scavenger hunt that I use when reviewing equations with 8th grade. I post these cards around the room in a random order. I usually have my students work in groups of 2 but not more than 3. They start at any card and complete the question. That answer leads them to another card with another question. There are letters in each card at…Read More

I know I’m late on posting but this Halloween activity could also be used for thanksgiving or Christmas as well.

Great job on the videos and they are very useful. This process is very scary for those who are just getting started, but it is interesting to see these steps come to reality. Good Luck to all of the young men and women who are just getting started with their new business.

After reading the articles, I have to admit that I have feelings of excitement and anxiousness. I agree that inquiry is the best method for learners to make meaning of the world around them and to internalize that information to later use again. Reflecting back on my elementary and middle school science science experiences, sadly, it was mostly…Read More

South Floyd Middle School did a wonderful job on helping us learn more about weather using the Spanish language. They spoke very clearly when they were speaking and the pictures they used were extremely helpful in understanding what they were saying, especially for younger kids. The way they taught about the weather was very well done.

Good job South Floyd Middle on the Weather livestream! The use of pictures was helpful and your all’s setup looked really good.

South Floyd good job on the live stream!!!! MUY BUEN!!!!!

It was truly an example of how class work can be just as…Read More
