math8 Ss @FJHChargers focused on application problems of Pythagorean Thm. Ss started with a 🧩 . Then I introduced them to 📺 show Homestead Rescue. We found the connection & brainstorm other jobs that would use Pyth Thm. Found out 1 of my Ss used to homestead! #seeigmath

Our February Graph of the Month for HonAlg allows Ss @FJHChargers to use their knowledge of probability, percent of change, and proportions to analyze data surrounding the Super Bowl. #datatalks

HonAlg Ss @FJHChargers have been working on multiplying binomials. Ss have investigated different strategies to find the product. Today Ss test their mastery on the topic by playing Battleship “algebra style”

A day in the life of an HonAlg Ss @FJHChargers 🤣class starts w/ Friday Funny 🧑‍💻Ss test their polynomial knowledge w/ @Kahoot warm up 🕵️Ss investigate how area model for multiplication in elementary connects to ✖️-ing binomials in algebra w/ @desmosclassroom Class ends w/a 🧩

HonAlg Ss @FJHChargers have been hard at work learning what makes an expression a polynomial. What is the difference between a quadratic trinomial and a quartic binomial. Yesterday we put that to the test with the Build It 🧩. Today Ss will start working on polynomial operations

Thanks @citizenmath.bsky.social for the inspiration w/ the lesson Opportunities Cost. Love being able to add in an extension & include a community member expert. Interested in learning more about this lesson and how you can customize it, join me in February for the math8 Lesson Collaboration call.

HonAlg Ss tackle unit6&7 performance task: where Ss analyze whether college “pays off”. Ss👀how salaries of job, amt of scholarships, & loans impact the❓. @UrbanJason adds his expertise about options the high school offers that can lower the financial impact #makeitreal

Friday Flashback: AtoZw/ @CarlAzuz took at👀at the different sides of the debate on if the US should get rid of the penny. math8 Ss @FJHChargers tackled this ❓ earlier this year as we analyzed the 💰 savings for 🇺🇸 vs possible cost⬆️ for individuals w/ this @citizenmath lesson

M8 Ss @FJHChargers put their operations w/ rational numbers to the test as they tackle their 1st performance task: Common Cents. Is the penny “worth it?” Some countries, such as 🇨🇦 , have done away w/ their penny. Should the US?! 🙏🏼 @CitizenMath for helping to #makeitrelevant

How does a bag of tennis balls relate to Algebra1? With the help of @desmosclassroom HonAlg Ss @FJHChargers will investigate to find the connection. Stay tuned! #seeingmath

Make your office your favorite room in your house and then you aren’t bummed when you have to work from home over break. Recorded my first @citizenmath.bsky.social conversations episode to preview the January math8 collaboration call.

Merry Christmas!

M8 Ss @FJHChargers put their semester1 skills as well as their puzzle skills to the test as their participate in the reindeer game escape room. Answer 4 math8 problems correctly➡️solve the puzzle➡️unlock the🔒… repeat for 4 rounds. Congrats to all the teams who escaped!

HonAlg Ss @FJHChargers are locked in as they prepare for their 1st high school final 💻@Kahoot warmup 🎄Don’t shake tree review w/ immediate feedback 📝Ss use feedback to create targeted doodle notes for studying based on their individual needs

Interested in helping to make math relevant for your Ss? Looking for ideas? Know about @citizenmath.bsky.social or interested in learning more about them? Read this blog post I did for December and then join me in January for a LCC to discuss ideas. community.citizenmath.com/posts/747965...

HonAlg Ss @FJHChargers apply knowledge of systems to👀at the💰of electric🆚solar. Ss determined optimal⌚️ for each option(including buying🆚leasing) by👀at💰for a 🏠. Then @HSEsavingenergy extended 🗣️by sharing real📉for @HSESchools. Ss weigh in on if more arrays should be added

M8: This week Ss focused on graphing linear functions using slope intercept form & interpreting linear word problems. Ss put their knowledge on display as they completed the: -Table MATHO -@quizizz game -@desmosclassroom application activity Lots of engagement & discussions

HonAlg GOW had Ss engaged. The class data matched national data on artificial🎄vs real; not in agreement on when the 🎄 should go up. Ss analyzed yearly sales to find % of fake sold. If 80% of Americans have an artificial tree why is it only 20% of yearly sales? #datatalks

M8 Ss @FJHChargers have been asking for a chance to try something similar to the HonAlg project. Today Ss practiced slope intercept form with the help of @desmosclassroom getting immediate feedback. They investigated restrictions and had a chance to try building a Christmas 🎄

HonAlg Ss started their #seeingalgebra in architecture sem1 project. This project allows students to apply skills from units 3, 4, 5, & 6 to recreate a piece of architecture using algebra. A decade later & @FJHChargers Ss still amaze me! Day1 update: youtu.be/kdC1R1I1aCA #MathSky #ITeachMath

It’s Friday-who doesn’t want to end their week with a Honor Algebra Morning Study session! Love seeing the dedication from these students and their parents. It was a full house this morning! @FJHChargers

How do you get middle school Ss to own their learning?! ☝️of my fav. tools is a concept✅. When a Ss is not😃w/ their quiz grade they complete the concept✅ to ensure they learn from their mistakes before the test. Ss reflect on success&failure. Ss☑️for mastery. Ss growth from quiz➡️test has 📈

HonAlg Ss @FJHChargers started off class competing in Rapid 🔥 Relays with the help of @IXLLearning. Then Ss spent the second half of class checking their understanding of linear inequalities as they worked through the hidden picture activity. What will appear?!

HonAlg Ss @FJHChargers ✍🏼 equations for //&perpendicular lines based on given info. Ss✍🏼all 3 forms of the linear function. Ss found their equations in the🦃to✅ understanding. Final mission: assign🦃a new name & identity to keep it off the dinner table. ♥️👀their creativity💡!

HonAlg Ss @FJHChargers put their knowledge of scatterplots, lines of best fit& correlation coefficients to the test: Ss collect data, create a scatterplot w/@desmosclassroom, make a line of best fit & predict length of bungee. Ss drop Barbie from loft. Did their algebra hold up?
