"For the first time in forever..."

I am the worst! I let so much time lapse between blog posts. Posting more regularly was one of my goals for this year and clearly I did not meet it. However, like I tell all my students to do, I will reflect on my mistakes. I tell them if we make mistakes, but don't think about what we did and how to correct it, we will never improve. Well, I know my mistake is not posting on here because I just simply forget about it. So my new plan of action: I am adding into my agenda book memos to post! Many people may be shocked to learn this, but despite my age, I'm not great with social media. Hopefully this will help keep me more regular. 

Here's an update in what's been happening in or around room 204 since, well...

Solving problems in a "domino" style.... or spiral

      

Are my students watching basketball in class?? Yes they are. They were applying their skills to a real world situation trying to make an educated decision on who is the best basketball player in playoffs (spoiler: overall consensus was they felt LeBron James was the best).

  

   

Becoming Crime Scene Investigators using math

Turning some classwork into decorations around the room

  

Are those Easter Eggs??? Yes they are. I hid some problems in some Easter eggs and then had my students hunt for eggs/solve problems. They loved it!

  

  

And of course our annual March Book Madness Bracket
