If I am working on problem solving I skip warmups because my classes are just 42 minutes and I need all the time I can get (I sometimes even put off the hw check until the next day). Other days I concentrate more on concepts or on reviewing skills and things change.
Math TeachWith a minimum passing score of 131 in your state, why would one even NEED a study group for the 0061 test? If you have a pulse, you can pass. Really.

I need a group activity for multiplying integers. I want kids to be able to problem solve and tell us how and why they got their answer (common core). Thanks.

Or go to the website for the Khan Academy. Tons of videos there.

I just put up a math resource website for precalculus, algebra1 and ap statistics. Just give it a tour and it might help you get caught up with your math lesson
Does anyone know any website that has a complete lessons for precalc or any soft ware that helps me to review this course? It will be my first year teaching precalc and i am nervous about it. Any hint will be greatly appreciated.

yuo can go to this website, it has a COMPLETE worksheets and powerpoint/keynote presentation that will help you with your PRECALCULUS lesson
I have 4th grade math only this year. I will be teaching 3 sections of math for 85 minutes each. Can you give me some suggestions how to break up the class period so as to best utilize my day? My principal is not unfavorable of the guided math approach but besides has not mentioned any parameters.
Problem. Show that the following are all equal to each other:
...See MoreI don't believe I've ever started a thread here, but since I was here a few moments ago replying to someone else, I thought I'd toss out a neat trig. result that could easily be worked into a trig. or precalculus class as an application of the sine angle subtraction formula.
Problem. Show that the following are all equal to each other:
tan(99 degrees), tan(999 degrees), tan(9999 degrees), tan(99999 degrees), etc.
Hint/Proof-Outline. It suffices to show that each of these is equal to tan(99 degrees). Now observe that the equation "tan(999...9 degrees) = tan(99 degrees)" is equivalent to an equation of the form AB - CD = 0, where A,B,C,D are the sine or cosine of 99 degrees or 999...9 degrees. Use the sine angle subtraction formula to compress this and then note that the angle you're taking the sine of is an integer multiple of 180 degrees. Finally, work backwards from this to get a proof of what we wanted to prove.

There is an easier way to show this than the way I suggested earlier.
999 = 900 + 99 = 5(180) + 99,
9999 = 9000 + 999 = 50(180) + 999,
99999 = 90000 + 9999 = 500(180) + 9999, etc.
From this it follows that: 999 degrees is an integer multiple of 180 degrees added to 99 degrees, and hence tan(999) = tan (99); 9999 degrees is an integer multiple of 180 degrees added to 999 degrees, and hence tan(9999) = tan (999); 99999 degrees is an integer multiple of 180 degrees added to 9999 degrees, and hence tan(99999) = tan (9999); etc.
2) What are your going to ...See MoreI had the same problem in middle school, but instead of a grey plastic tote the stuff (going back about 30 years) filled all six cabinets in the room.
1) I don't know K, but I'd say keep more than you think you will need. Will you always have 12 kids? How about 24-30 in 1st or 2nd grade if you get moved?
2) What are your going to do with them? It seems wasteful to dump them. I made a list and emailed it to everyone in the district and said first come first served -- most things disappeared within two days.
3) If they are all in one big bin, what's the difference between you keeping one full bin or one half full bin?
4) If you are new to this, you may not know what you will need or end up finding a great use for. I would try to keep it all for at least a year or two, until you have figured it out.
