ideas

  Ideas to incorporate into the day:

I have, Who has (example of listening and speaking activity) Text to Graphic and Back Again (writing activity) Create a foldable I have many, any specific focus? A variety. I have one for the powers of 10. Going to make two for monomials. (jennifer do I still need to make a quadratic formula one?) want to type in purple!!! ahh... there we go. i say go for the quadratic formula. i have one about converting fractions to decimals. i will also be bringing my foldable book specificially for MS and HS math. i was thinking of putting them all into a composition book in case some of the teachers use them. this is also an AVID school, but i'm not sure how long they have been one. Word problem analysis (academic and content vocabulary) do you need me to provide some? How about a Venn diagram one and then we can make a Venn foldable to illustrate. i like that idea! I was also thinking about taking it visual. illustrating a word problem?? what do you think. Modify a lesson (4 groups of 2) Duarte remember to ask participants to bring one or we can make copies of the lessons in the geometry book the teacher asked about plus one we have asked the participants to bring one...we will see if they arrive. i will make copies of the work for those sections that she asked about. that way, if no one else brings their stuff, then we have something to use. i was thinking that they could work in groups of 2 or 4 to modify a lesson (additionally, there will be enought ELL teachers there that we could really co-plan with them). and then teach their modified lesson to the others. what do you think? Have math puzzles and logic problems on tables for participants to play with during down times.I will bring some, including my vocabulary puzzle if I can find one  I have some too that I will scan and send to Duarte to make copies :). I also have some logic ones with colored chips that I will sort out and bring if I have a chance to get it all together. Sounds good. I will get the copies made...I want to show them 9 square and let them play. i have some super hard (logrithms, sine cosine examples) i will also get them copies so that they can take them back to their classes. i was also thinking about the game where one persons questions leads to another persons answer and they move around the room like that. i might make up an example...pull some math out of my... I have some examples of the nine square with equivalent fractions and another with decimal/fraction for lower level. Brainstorm ways to facilitate learning instead of lecture. (problem based, project based, authentic application, guest teachers from outside occupations) I don't know if you got to look at the website, but it has some cool stuff. they do have webquests (although i think Michelle's was better). i like the authentic learning stuff. i don't have much knowledge of it, though. I can bring examples using the design cycle. some are lower level, but others are defenetely highschool quality Brainstorm ways to use technology to enhance learning and reflect (both teacher and student). What if we showed them the website? They are a 21st century school and should have computers. I can't get internet because the district won't allow outside access this year, but I could make a Jing Screencast. What do you think?? sounds good
