I was hoping I would get to use this interactive notebook page idea next year. I'm a little sad that I won't! I was secretly hoping to teach pre-cal next year...not sure why... I found this small unit circle from Jean Adams on TpT. It's a free download. I like that it's small enough to fit in the notebook and still has room to label all of the important information. I also drew a little coordinate grid to help students remember where the x and y values are positive and negative. Sometimes it's nice to have a quick reference.

I liked teaching Polynomials and Factoring in Algebra 1 more than I thought I would! I was expecting my students to hate factoring, but it wasn't bad at all! First, I used my flipbook to teach adding and subtracting polynomials. At the bottom of the page, I had my students include an example where they had to find the perimeter of a geometric figure. The next day, we talked about distributing a monomial and finding the greatest common factor. I teach my students to "make a rainbow" when distributing. They did well with this first page, but hated having to combine like terms at the end! Next, we completed a page about finding the greatest common factor. On the first example, I just had them watch and not start writing until I was totally done. They hate when I do this, but it helps them pay attention to what I am actually saying. After that, we did an activity that I found on Math = Love and I included my own problems. My students thought this was TOUGH and we completed it together. They had a very difficult time determining whether something was factored or distributed. I think next time, I will have us sort them into categories together, then have them try the problems on their own. The next day, we talked about multiplying binomials. I do not teach my students FOIL. I teach them to use a "rainbow" to distribute everything. I want them to be able to distribute anything, not just binomials. However, I wanted them to recognize the acronym FOIL, so I did put it in their hamburger book. We worked a few problems together, then I had them work with their partners. The last day of the unit, almost as an afterthought, I taught students about the special cases. I wanted them to seem like extensions of what we have already done. This page took about five minutes and we moved on with our review day. Even teaching it this way, my students didn't miss it on their test. :) We moved on to factoring next.

Occam’s Razor is a problem-solving principle arguing that simplicity is better than complexity. Here's how you can apply this principle in UX design.

Let’s take a look at fossils and past environments! Fossils are fascinating phenomena that lead students to excitement about the discovery of our Earth’s past. Depending on the experiences students have had about fossils, they can bring in common misconceptions such as: Fossils only include animals, not plants Scientists know the exact age of a ...

My geometry students always seem to fall within two categories: they love triangle congruence (because they think it's easy) or they hate triangle congruence. There seems to be no middle ground. My students that hate triangle congruence seem to have the biggest problem remembering the theorems. The letters of the shortcuts just seem to swim in their heads. So, I created this foldable to help them sort it out. All of the triangle congruence shortcuts are listed, including the "false shortcuts" that students seem to fall for. Inside each of the tabs is an example and the theorem written in words. I always like to include theorems written in words so students can become more comfortable with math language. You can find the foldable here. Every year, my students ALWAYS seem to use SSA as a shortcut. I try to ham it up and make a big deal out of not using it. I say "Ahhh! We don't use bad words in math class - forward or backward!" and "There are no donkeys in here!". I try to go over the top with acting so that my students will remember. I like to show this video to help students visualize why it doesn't work. What is your favorite activity when teaching triangle congruence?

This year, I taught geometric transformations at the end of first semester. It’s a unit that is easy to move around and I needed to fill a weird length of time before final exams. I didn’t go as in-depth this year as I have in the past, but I will have the same students again next year for Algebra 2 and can fill any holes then. First, I started with a page to introduce all of the vocab that goes with the unit. Straightforward, quick, and uninteresting. Next, I taught translations. This lesson always goes pretty quick. It’s nice to start with an easy lesson like this one though, because you can use TONS of vocab and students can get used to hearing it throughout the lesson. This page and the previous page are in my TpT store. Next, I have a practice page for translations. I printed it on legal paper and cut it in half. Have I mentioned my LOVE of legal paper for INBs? Cut in half, it fits perfectly in a notebook and there is overall less wasted space. This page is uninteresting, but worked very well. I had my students complete it with their partners and we regrouped as a class to check it. Reflections, rotations, dilations, and symmetry coming soon!

"Hopes and Dreams" is the New Year's Eve Wishing Wall at the TIMES SQUARE INFORMATION CENTER located at the beautifully restored landmark Embassy Movie Theatre. Visitors can write down their personal goals, dreams and wishes on a piece of confetti. The wishes on colored paper will be collected at the end of the year, and added to the confetti that will flutter down onto the streets of Times Square at the 12 o’clock hour on New Year’s Eve, after the ball drop. The Information Center is located on 7th Avenue, between 46th and 47th Streets, and is open daily from 8 AM to 8 PM.

For our probes, we asked the question: how are people’s everyday eating habits compared to their desired eating habits and what does that tell us about the “routine” and the “ideal”. We wanted to…
