Thing #

I was able to show my advisory a cool dvd on possiblities in life. I once again a had my projector and computer ready for class discussion and display. We also watched an intertaining YouTube puppet show with Harry Potter. We continued our research and keep the students informed of the research engines on connect St. Paul. In my advisory we looked into trusses since we were studying triangles. We looked at the Star-Tribune pictures and history of the 35w bridge. We even were able to look at the new plans for the bridge. This created a healthy discussion in my Geometry class. In Algebra we took a look at YouTube Ma and Pa kettle do Math. Students found it very entertaining since we had just finished studying percents and proportions. I still have an adjustment to set-up and take down each day. It is good to use the video chunks to enhance the class discussion.

I want to come to your math class! It sounds like some really fun stuff that the students can engage in. I watched the Ma and Pa Kettle video - what a hoot! -Janet
