February 17, 2022 Today was an inclement weather day and typically schools would have been closed, but since the pandemic, now we switch to on-line learning. Students did not have a Google-meet meeting today but were working on asynchronous learning. I posted 2 worksheets. The first was on solving equations and the second was on solving fractions. We have also been using Boom ... Read More about Snow Day – Pivot To Online Learning – Day 9

Visual Linear Patterns – MTH1W Day 8

by

For today's warm-up, we looked at an Open-Middle fraction problem. We placed the number 1 after the equal sign to narrow down the possibilities. Lots of great answers were given. The solutions gave us an opportunity to discuss why each answer worked. Next, we went to the boards in our random groups to work on more visual linear pattern problems. Just like yesterday, students determined the ... Read More about Visual Linear Patterns – MTH1W Day 8

Solving Equations With Double Number Lines and Visual Linear Patterns – MTH1W Day 7

Today's warm-up started with two Which One Doesn't Belong activities. The second part of the warm-up introduced solve-me mobiles. If you haven't checked out either of these resources, have a look because they are a great way to get your students talking about math. Next, I put the students in random groups using playing cards and we continued to work on solving equations with parallel number ...

Today's warm-up included some Valentine's Day-themed puzzles from Mashup Math. I really liked the third puzzle because it tied in the perimeter and area piece that we had been working on the day before with the tangrams. After our warm-up with the personal whiteboards was finished, I had students choose cards randomly and get into groups for the next task. I had strings attached to magnetic ...

Fractions On A Number Line – MTH1W Day 5

by

Today's warm-up was a Superbowl-themed puzzle. My students got this pretty quickly today. The second warm-up activity that we looked at was connecting shapes with fractions, decimals, and percents. Our next task was to get to the boards in our random groups and look at some questions involving number lines. They were given a number line with a single number at one end and they were asked to ...
