Class on Monday
I am very excited about our class tomorrow. Our hands-on activity will use spaghetti as we create different quadrilaterals. Please note that I am going to begin encouraging you to sit with folks who have similar interests as to what they want to pursue for their master's project. For instance, there is a group that wants to create a LOGO curriculum, so they will be sitting together. I have noticed a few folks who want to learn more advanced features of GSP (like animation) so they need to find each other. I am also detecting a few that want to look at the concept of proof and how to teach proof in the middle school. I will bring a number of resource books down to our classroom, so you can see what is out there and generate more ideas.

Spaghetti...fun to play with, even better to eat!
ReplyDeleteSpaghetti quadrilaterals! I know some H-town sixth graders that just might love that idea.
ReplyDeleteWe could also bring in meatballs and have lessons on spheres to go along with it.
