Every week, Julie will push out a new topic, you blog about it and submit your blog post using this Google Form. On Sunday, there will be a huge list of awesome blogs to go read! :) YAY!
As always, this is a no pressure blogging challenge, so if you don't feel like blogging, that's okay! I've had many weeks already where I've failed at blogging, so I'm right there with you! However, this week is one I just couldn't pass up :)
This week's theme is is "Photo of the Week", but this was a tough one for me. I couldn't narrow it down to just one, so instead, I took a screenshot of this week's Instagram #teach180 posts! :) (Can I just say that I LOVE using Instagram for my #teach180 posts... it's super simple to use and it's been a great tool for me to easily look back at my progress over the year! Plus I shared it with my students, their parents, and my admin so they could follow us virtually!)
This week was great! Last week was our Fall Break, so coming back on Monday was bit rough, but as you can see in the photos above, there were so many good moments this week!
To go chronologically, we'll start from the bottom right :)
Bottom right: This was Monday in AP Stat. After a break, we needed to do some mixed review over the chapter topics. There were 3 problems, each one in a dry erase sleeve. Students were up on the whiteboards working through the problems... so many good discussions!
Bottom center: Tuesday in Geometry... You'll notice the little white box in the corner - we had a really active day! This was a block day and we had color coded notes, some dry erase sleeve practice, and then a "Question Stack" set of cards on angle relationships. So much awesomeness!
Bottom left: Tuesday in Forensic Science... We had just finished a lab on the Bertillion Measurement System and read a great (yet lengthy) article on Bertillion, so we followed up with some summarization strategies. This photo shows "Give One Get One", which is one of my favorite strategies!
Top right: Wednesday in AP Stat... We had just finished z-scores and normality and were preparing for a quiz. However, practice problems often get dull in worksheet format, so instead we did the same problems in card format. Groups could choose to work on the vertical whiteboards or get one of the portable boards for their table. So many good discussions and many of them scored perfect scores on the quiz! yay!
** There isn't a photo for Thursday because my sophomores were taking the Pre-ACT and my Stat kids took their quiz... not a photo worthy day!
Top center: Friday in Geometry... Thanks to the MTBoS, Friday's lesson plan was super simple... Katrina Newell (@MrsNewellsMath) had already blogged an Angle Addition / Angle Bisector foldable that all I had to do was print and use! (Thanks Katrina!). I do love foldables and add it to some color coded notes and you have a happy teacher on your hands!
Top left: Friday in AP Stat... We've finished our unit in Stat, so next week we will be taking Test #2. There were 10 stations posted around the room with 2 MC questions per station. The students went from station to station working problems, checking with me, and going to the next station. The hour flew by and on their exit ticket, several students even asked if we could do it again. :)
I know I didn't do quite what the prompt asked me to do, but it was such a good teaching week that I wanted to share! :) Now to work on next week's lessons... hopefully it will be just as awesome as this past week! :)
