Easy Grade?

by cj

Jan 16, 2013

I have 150 level Algebra 1 freshmen. They have the attention span of a squirrel. I have to have graded assignments, for bookkeeping purposes if nothing else. The problem is they need almost instant feedback, so that's the next day or they have forgotten all about the assignment and feedback is useless.

So, what I need here is some quickly ...See More

Common Core Sites

Has any one found any websites you feel will be helpful beefing up Alg I or Alg II classes? I have several texts at my disposal to find problems and story problems. But I am looking for ideas to have students find data or do research to apply to problems. I'm afraid I'm not too creative when it comes to making my own problems.

Julia Math Worksheets Land is unreal. Give it a look. Aligned directly to the core.

How can I-Pads be used as an effective way for students to practice their math skills? Are there any free apps that students can use to practice math skills?

Common Core

by Tom

Jan 21, 2013

I am new to teaching Math this year, and I am wondering just how to go about teaching it more effectively. What I would like to see is examples of sketched out weekly lesson plans. For example, for fractions, I would like to see how others teach each standard in each domain how many days for each standard.

Making Equivalent Fractions- 4.NF...See More

Camtasia in the classroom?

by Nikki

Jan 21, 2013

Is it possible that Camtasia could be integrated into a middle or high school math class? Even if only as something for a substitute teacher to play if I am unable to teach? Would it be useful as an online reference for students?

by Lori Tofexis

Jan 24, 2013

Michelle I do require that students check there answers. When it comes to algebra, they can always know if they have the correct answer since they can substitute the value they find back into the original equation. When taking a quiz or test, if they have not "checked' their solution, then they do not get any credit for their work. A wrong answer is complet...See More
