I like an active classroom where everyone is busy. If you stop in one day it will look like chaos, but it is a carefully orchestrated chaos that cleverly disguises all the learning that we are doing. I use a lot of activities -- and keep the kids moving. Research says that if anyone sits for more than 15 minutes, their brain disengages and learning is not happening. So I design a lot of activities to get kids moving, talking, thinking and participating.

Systems of Linear Equations Domino Set

Systems of Linear Equations Domino Set

(0)
Students practice solving Systems of Linear Equations using algebraic methods in a game format. Set includes 4 different sets of dominoes: 8 Dominoes, 12 Dominoes, 16 Dominoes and 24 Dominoes. The smaller sets are great for pairs or even a student who likes to work alone. The larger sets are good for groups of 3 or 4. Dominoes are cut apart, placed face down and students draw all dominoes equally. Student with "start" places the first domino and then student with the answer/system in their hand plays the next. This continues until one student is out of dominoes and is declared the winner. I usually give 5 points per domino left in other students hands and keep a running tally. Students love playing games in the classroom and this set will give them the opportunity to practice solving linear systems of equations. For students who struggle, have them practice checking the solutions into the system to determine the answer.

Corner Collaboration--Finding the Discriminant

(0)
Students work to identify the discriminant of a quadratic equation then collaborate with other students to check their work and check for errors. Resource includes 4 different worksheets, each identified with a symbol. Students work in home groups to calculate the discriminat of their quadratic equations. I use a timer to keep students on task, and when timer goes off, students break up into groups in each of the 4 corners with students of same worksheet to discuss problems, compare answers and check for errors. When time is up, students return to their home groups. This is a kagan strategy which works great to increase discourse in the math classroom.

One Step Inequality Domino Set

(0)
Great for review and practice solving one step inequalities. Package include sets of 8, 12, 16 and 24 dominoes. Smaller set is ideal for partner practice while the larger sets are great for groups of 3 or 4. Students cut apart and shuffle dominoes and then draw an equal number for their hand. The student with the start places that domino first and then students solve the inequalities in their hands to see who can place the next domino. Student who uses all their dominoes wins.
