Does anyone have an Algebra 2 end of year review they wouldn't mind sharing? It's my first time teaching Algebra 2 in over a decade and I would love to have a starting point - thanks in advance! 🙏

Besides the IM curriculum for A1/G/A2, what are other good problem-based math curriculum for HS? Ones that follow the experience first, formalize later model. I also know of Math/Stats/Calc Medic. What else is out there?

I believe it was

who suggested we do the show. We talk about this topic often at our house and it’s particularly controversial for me, which you’ll understand if you listen!

Has anyone done the lazy caterer's sequence with middle or high school students? Looks like it could be fun, with connections to quadratic sequences, Pascal's triangle, and Euler's characteristic, which are all topics we've touched on this year.

, how do you wrap up lessons? Not the final phase of instruction, but just the final minute of class? Watching 100s of algebra lessons, most Ts either let kids work to the bell or make business anncmts at the end. Our nudge is to "put a bow on it."

One of our first instructional nudges for math teachers - REVERSAL. Take a straight forward math problem and turn it around, give students the answer and see how many different problems they can come up with that have the given answer.

Looking for strategies for teaching math? Try these instructional routines for math.

Think of an instructional routine as a container for teaching where the structure remains the same but the math to be focused on changes.

Any suggestions for a fun real-world application of the Pythagorean Theorem for 8th graders? We've done some proofs and practice problems, as well as Desmos Taco Truck, but I'd love something hands-on where students could perhaps also do some modeling with real data?

Other than the traditional Alg1 / Geo / Alg2 / etc math classes, do you have any electives at your school that you think should be in other schools? We are starting to think about our course planning guide for 24-25 and looking for some ideas!
