Text of the page (random words):
d with 5 students is now at 26 in 12 weeks and it will continue to grow 100 of them hardly speak english only about 4 of them can understand limited english the rest this is their first exposure 1 is from china 1 from brazil a few from el salvador the rest from guatemala i teach it mostly in spanish my chinese kid will probably learn spanish faster than english almost all of them never used a binder before let alone dividers they used to constantly open their binders backwards and then get confused and try to rearrange their dividers again they would put in their lined paper with the large white margin on the bottom then write on the back side of the page first with the 3 holes on the right i had two students not know their birthdays apparently some cultures celebrate their patron namesake saint s day instead i have one student 15 years of age who keeps taking out her hello kitty coloring book to color instead of doing the classwork they have never seen or used negative numbers until my class except for the brazilian student for a handful of them they touched a computer for the very first time if you know this population of students and know me you ll know that i love this class both the students and the course the students are incredibly sweet and respectful and so glad to be here they were also pretty terrified when they first came in which makes me mother hen them even more as for the course i have no curriculum that i have to comply to and finish in a certain amount of time i m teaching for the sake of teaching again i can make it as slow and applicable as i want i haven t been this excited to develop curriculum in years everyday i can see them absorb a certain amount of knowledge for some they are ready for the math they started never having seen a negative number and are now adding and subtracting them better than many of my algebra kids for others their english is growing in leaps and bounds they ask me daily how to say certain words and phrases in english and i can hear them repeating and saying them aloud to themselves some of them are just proud to be students they come in showing off their new bags and binders and study their flashcards at every opportunity after 12 weeks since the beginning of the course i m constantly stumped at how to introduce concepts i ve never introduced before like a negative number for the very first time and answering questions i never considered before like what is homecoming queen king i m also excited and terrified of introducing concepts for the very first time like fractions and algebra because i will have no screwed up prior knowledge to deal with we ll leave that last one at that for now if you know you know anyways lastly there really should be a list of things that eld teachers deal with in math so that i don t have to learn from scratch anyone have any ideas tips training to share here s just a few that i m finding this says 21 17 he got it wrong because i said 21 70 most of them write their 1s like 7s their 7s they just cross with a dash i debated whether or not it was ok to make them all just write 1s as a single vertical line or not and i decided it was necessary if written anywhere outside of a math worksheet full of numbers they can t have 15 looking like 75 they switch their decimals and their commas if you ve ever traveled in other countries before you ll have seen this 2 000 for example or 20 99 i ll try to keep you posted on the progress of this class i hope comments leave a comment categories uncategorized 10 dec a book i m pretty sure compiled by teachers and perhaps i ve been teaching too long when some things don t make me laugh as much as they make me cringe like this this next one made me laugh though instead of a banana car i ve gotten monsters rainbow lands and narwhals same plea though comments 1 comment categories uncategorized amusing 20 aug the new school year has begun while common core geometry is consuming my time a quick share in creating a floor plan for their dream home not a single student included a laundry room i found that amusing comments leave a comment categories geometry uncategorized length area and volume 17 may did you know that if you double up the size of a chair by doubling up its dimensions in every direction you will need four times as much paint to paint that chair and that it will weight eight times as much did you know that if a gorilla was to really proportionally increase to be the size of king kong that his guts would just explode and gush out of him from the sheer weight of itself the same concept prevents an elephant from ever getting a c section did you know that if an ant was really the size of the ants in them not only would they not be able to stand up on their legs they would also suffocate immediately did you know that if you proportionally double up in size you ll only be able to jump the same height as you did when you were normal size likewise if you got 100 times smaller you will also be able to jump the same height as you did when you were normal size so how long should it have taken for the kids in honey i shrank the kids to get home interesting right all these facts take into consideration that very first did you know that changing a linear dimension changes the area and volume differently intuitively we all have some understanding of this i mean imagine making an itty bitty model of a wee little ant out of play doh how easily will the ant stand on its tiny legs now can you imagine building a 2 foot model of the same ant you re going to have some difficulty making it stand on the same proportional legs so i found it all the more interesting when i went online to search for great lessons on this concept and found none i had never been able to teach this topic to very much detail due to our crazy pacing plans and frankly due to my hazy knowledge of the science behind it however this year i had a couple of advantages that allowed me to actually try to plan a lesson time of course and an awesome student teacher who is ridiculously skilled in the sciences anyways day 1 i started with a lesson on the basic concept and followed it up with a follow up to an exit ticket from the area chapter it was pretty interesting to see how many students didn t make the connection to the worksheet that was previously given i d say it was about 50 50 half who figured it out and half who simply multiplied the 52 square foot tiles by 12 inches per foot i posted this student s work because she had asked me if she could simply multiply by 12 or if she had to convert all the numbers on the page first and re work it like a good teacher should i said exactly test it the next day was the fun day though i had almost an entire block period to now talk about the implications of same concept in reality again looking online i found almost nothing fun nothing very deep and nothing very useful to me except these notes which i devoured and from these we came up with this lesson __________________________________________________________________________________________ fact if you double up the dimensions in every direction then the area multiplies by ____four____________ and the volume multiplies by ______eight________ question if you have a chandelier barely hanging from a rope and you doubled up the size including the rope that it hangs on will the chandelier still hang or will the rope snap why or why not make your argument here you will not be graded based upon whether your answer is right or wrong but on how well you make your case by this point most students understand that although the dimensions are doubled the weight of the chandelier has now become 8 times heavier however italicizing the part about the rope has them also consider the fact that the rope has also gotten 8 times heavier proportionally a very true fact i have them in groups and ask them to talk about it and then write out their argument emphasizing that they will not be graded on correctness i then take a vote the vote for all 3 of my classes was close to 50 50 i say awesome and before i give away anything else i have one person from each camp make their case i then take out a piece of rope to begin my consider lecture consider a really heavy object hanging from this piece of rope i want to make it stronger and so i double up the length like so because i know that this will increase the volume by twice as much will that make the rope stronger class agrees no way so then how do i make the rope stronger exactly i need to double up the rope by making it thicker so what does that mean what does the strength of the rope depend on the volume no the thickness yes and how do we measure thickness the cross sectional area so will the rope snap of the chandelier snap or not discuss so yes the rope definitely snaps the cross sectional area only increased four fold which is what the strength of the rope depends on while the weight increased eight fold in this case two chords of the thicker rope will hold the larger chandelier __________________________________________________________________________________________ fact the height that a body can jump vertically is directly proportional to the ratio of muscle mass to the total mass of the body where c is a constant enough question if a human being who can jump 1 5 feet is doubled up in size pretending like it s actually possible how high will the new larger human be able to jump explain this was the section that my student teacher had helped me out the most in he came back w an equation that we boiled down and simplified to the one above apologies to any physicist who might get offended by this i helped to explain what this equation meant and how it made sense i made sure they all knew that working out actually made your muscles heavier which makes total sense in this equation i had them discuss and then take a vote their logic behind this one was so adorable most of them completely ignored the equation and went straight to guesses if twice as tall muscles get bigger so they re stronger they can jump higher but the winner of all arguments he jumps shorter like mario when mario grows he can t jump as high the group cracked up and then voted yes he jumps less than 1 5 feet like mario final answer this person will jump the same height of 1 5 feet his her muscle weight will definitely increase eight fold but so will the person s total weight canceling each other out question now reverse the idea if the same human being is shrunk to half the size how high can the new small human jump likewise the smaller human can jump 1 5 feet so how long would it have taken the kids in honey i shrunk the kids to go home it would ve taken the same amount of jumps as when they were full size this was an awesome discovery after reading that one professor s notes __________________________________________________________________________________________ fact ants don t have lungs air is received through blind tubes that cover the surface of the ants bodies where air enters through question if an ant was to be blown up as big as the ants in the movie them pretending the physical structure is possible what can you conclude about the air intake of the giant ant we didn t have time in class to go over these but these should be easier after all that we ve learned i should ve given it to them for homework fact with larger animals came the development of blood circulation and lungs as a more efficient way of oxygen distribution lungs increase the surface area available for oxygen absorption by the blood question if a human was blown up twice as big again pretending like the physical structure is possible how do the lungs have to increase along with the body in order to support the oxygen level needed to survive __________________________________________________________________________________________ anyways if there are any other lessons facts out there that you think are good for this concept let me know i didn t have this much fun lecturing in awhile some of the problems from that worksheet were either directly taken or modified from the nctm illuminations site tags area dimensions lecture length ratio volume comments 4 comments categories all time favorites geometry and the winner of the flashcards is 12 may www quizlet com after attempting my own templates at creating flashcards on word and excel a student showed me this site and i cried hoorah finally a website that gets it at least for flashcard needs pros it s freeeeeee at least until you need to upload your own images otherwise it s 15 year i happily paid it so that i can freely use screen captures and whatnot for geometry figures and algebra graphs they have an app for it tap to flip swipe for next card awesome super easy and clean spaces for you to put in your words they have multiple languages you can type in including math your students can look you up and freely print your sets or even create their own sets and my favorite they have 5 different print options cons you can t input images on both sides therefore my cards are not all flipped in the same direction i print cut and rearrange which way they should face if and when it matters you can see the sets i have already created by searching my full name jinnahwang or by clicking here i like to create class sets for them to practice with and have my own set to do my verbal vocab with i ve had students often ask me if they can get a copy and its always been clunky in printing out a pdf and then posting it on my website i love the print and fold flashcards as well so i can quickly print them on regular paper for students who are not so web savvy and they can create them at home love it tags algebra flashcards geometry quizlet vocabulary comments 1 comment categories all time favorites toblerone challenge can top challenge 28 apr here was another fun one the word file here toblerone challenge a few logistics they got to work either alone or in partners winner gets one toblerone bar so if partnering up they must share 20 minutes was all that they had after the play doh activity the previous day they understood that the winner would be the best net for this toblerone box in those 20 minutes no extension of time only one sheet of cardstock was actually passed out to the groups all other materials were available to them for pickup if they needed rulers scissors compasses protractors they had to build everything until they needed the gluing pretending like i was the one who will be gluing there was no glue involved collect all nets immediately and put them aside to determine winner when they are doing classwork at the end of class when announcing the winner i took apart the real toblerone box under the doc cam to see how the actual engineers did it i then wrapped the chocolate bar w the winning net and awarded the winners their chocolate hw was to find the lateral area base area and total surface area of the box immediately after they turned in their net and...
