Wow, so many great articles and links this week! I actually had time to look at a lot, and there's just a lot of great stuff coming in! Enjoy!
-
I'm loving these #TMC15 takeaways since I wasn't able to attend. Getting lots of great ideas!
- use Matt Vaudrey’s “End your discussions in 5…4…3…2…1″ instead of “Ok, time’s up, guys!”

What makes a good question?What makes a good activity?
-
Game. Changer.So excited to use this next year!
-
Great ideas for starting off the school year, math or not math. Good examples of students using tech for non-academic stuff to get used to it.
-
- GRIT Discussion
- Make a design using desmos. There is a lot of math involved here. Use the help button for tutorials. Here are some examples https://www.desmos.com/art
Spend at least 20 minutes trying to make a design. Save and name your design. Get the url. (use the share button)

I don't use CPM, but for those that do here are some pre-made Desmos graphs that go along with most chapters

- As you reflect on your previous school year and plan for your upcoming school year, what #AskDontTell opportunities do and can you provide?

- Before being in your class, all of my teachers would just give me information on a big silver platter. But when I enrolled into your class, you taught me how to learn things by myself and not expect things to be just given to me. Although it kinda hurt my brain a lot I guess it made my synapses fire. I found out that when you memorize something, you’ll eventually forget it, but if you try to learn it and understand it, the info just sticks to you.

- “Ask, Don’t Tell” learning opportunities allow the mathematics that we study to unfold through questions, conjectures, and exploration. “Ask, Don’t Tell” learning opportunities begin to activate students as owners of their learning.

Some more great ideas to start the year with!
-
- not just been for me to provide opportunities for my students to enter into the Standards for Mathematical Practice – but for my students to begin to recognize when they are entering into the practices.
- Every quarter this year, I asked my students to reflect on a time when they participated in one of the mathematical practices.

Sample Geometry Text
- I am happy to share this link to my dropbox where you can find a PDF of the 2nd edition of my text as well as a folder containing all of the HW assignments we wrote last year for the text.

-
Good strategies for using Polygraph
- I “kept score” on the board. I wrote the word “Winners” on the board, and recorded a student’s name every time a game ended.
- I posted a list of Awesome Questions! on the board. I had a blank PowerPoint slide open and typed questions that I saw that used the vocabulary I wanted to see, and were actually helpful for differentiating between graphs.

- I am going to start this class every day with a number talk. We will spend 10-15 minutes on the number talk, and I’m making a conscious decision that I don’t care what that means about how little time we will have for other material during the rest of the class period.
- I’m finally starting to learn that I need to stop throwing things at students and expecting them to figure out the instructions on their own. Things go so much better when I give them clear expectations for the assignment and make sure everyone knows what to do before I set them loose.

-
- students need to be taught how to communicate mathematics effectively
- when we tell students too “show their work” they often don’t know what that means.

Getting students talking!!!
