As I head into my 3rd straight year of teaching brand new curriculum, I want to make sure I am headed for success, so I'm dusting off the old blog and entering my reflections from my summer learning here.
Yesterday, I enrolled in a 6 module, 12 week workshop called Making Math Moments that Matter with Jon Orr (mrorr-isageek.com) and Kyle Spencer (tapintoteenminds.com). I've listened to their podcast, been to a professional development event with Jon Orr, and used some of their online materials for my Grade 7 math lessons and have enjoyed all of it. The workshop started with Jon and Kyle beating a couple of contestants at this game:
I could definitely see myself offering $5 to someone who could beat me at the game with my Grade 8s next year. That would be memorable start!
Today, one question we were asked was this: What 3 things would we like our students to remember about math class 5 years from now?
I remember getting to use protractors and compasses in Grade 10 or 11 math and really enjoying the puzzles and the satisfaction of drawing perfect shapes with these tools.
See you next time!
