Memes

I have used, in the past, memes to get procedural concepts through to students.  I made these memes using a meme generator on Imgur.  Calling these images memes might be a bit of a misnomer as they are actually just image macros but the images used are considered memes due to their widespread use on the internet.  Memes change constantly.  There is a saying on the internet that a year in normal time is like 10 years for the internet.  The popular format these days for memes follows a more "Twitter-esque" appearance as most of them are shared through Twitter.  Below are some examples of what I have used in my classroom.

    Ryan Brown,

    These memes are great. I love using them in my classes and have even gone low tech and printed them off and posted them around the room. Students love them, for right now. I use them as a visual reminder for my classes, by simply pointing or bringing attention to it, to sway the class in the right direction.

    Ryan,

    Your memes are hilarious! Using Memes in the classroom is a great way to enforce rules in a humorous way. I post mine in the classroom and honestly, kids are more likely to remember! Great job!

Quadratics Unit Padlet

Click here for Padlet Use in the Classroom Typically, this unit requires a lot of note taking and practice.  It spans several days and the students spend an exorbitant amount of time listening to me rather than focusing on the task at hand.  With this padlet, I could essentially "set my students free" in a Web-Quest style lesson.  Giving the students a goal with practice problems, the students could peruse the padlet in pairs or groups to find solutions to the questions given.  This frees me up to be able to provide extra support to those who need it. Learning Objectives Several learning objectives are achieved in this padlet. -I can analyze the graph of a quadratic and identify it's parts. -I can create a graph of a quadratic based on the parts of a parabola. -I can solve a quadratic equation. -I can evaluate the different methods for solving and appropriately select the method best suited for the problem. Copyright Since the goal of this padlet is mainly t...

Using Video to Convey Information

Evaluating a Video Teaching math can get very dry.  Students can be easily driven to boredom with skill and drill style practice but they can also get very bored with activities.  It seems like anything that is done consistently can result in a response of "I'm tired of _______!"  The use of the occasional video will shake things up and help refocus students, especially visual learners.   I am reviewing a video that I have used in my classroom.  The video can be found here: Scientific Notation .  The video offers an introductory overview of Scientific Notation.  This concept falls within our unit on exponents and operations with exponents in 8th grade math.  This video is available through PBIS media and available on YouTube.  My school does not block YouTube but it does flag videos as either appropriate or not appropriate.  When using this video, it is best to use it as a way to begin the unit on scientific notation.  Studen...

Augmented Reality Lesson

Image
For this week, I decided to create an augmented reality assignment using Aurasma.  My plan was to use it for the factoring unit and use this as a discovery activity.  The students would do stations and are allowed to move around the room to each of the 4 stations as they wanted.  At each station, I would post up 4 of the trigger images and below the triggers, I would post the required problems.  Here are my 4 trigger images: This one has an image version of a linked webpage .  If you click on the image, it will take you directly to the website.  CC-BY-NC-SA 3.0 This trigger links to a YouTube video describing the process.
