Pi R Scared

  Do your student ask when will I ever use this?  If you are getting ready to teach Volume, here's a great example.  The students will be excited to learn about how to possibly win this contest when they see it the next time. 

  My students have been asking to play a GimKit again.  I shared with them, that's it's hard to make math problems look right on many of the game based websites.    GimKit has added a new equation feature about 2 weeks ago which makes adding equations and other types of problems super easy.  If typing the math is the reason that you haven't been using GimKit, I recommend giving it a try again. 

This is a part of a set of task cards for writing the equation of a line.  This was made for Math 7 students and advanced Math 6 students.  The y-intercept is 0 for each of the tables.  Writing the Equation of a Line From a Table  

  As teachers we are constantly creating presentations and to keep students engaged we have to mix up the layout and images often.  I found this to be time consuming but these 3 sites make it easy to quickly adapt a lesson and make it look nice.  

  Finding the perfect number for your examples or worksheets can be hard a times but I've found this website that let's you custom make the number lines.  This is my favorite site because you can decide the size of the number and the increments that it counts in.  This is my favorite number line site: https://themathworksheetsite.com/numline.html

  I've found that making check list and to do list for students daily was a challenge for me.  Typically, my coteacher would make the list but Google Sheets has made this easier.  This not only works great for students who have the accommodation but it also works well for students who need help staying on track, refocusing, or reminders to take brain breaks to help improve their focus.  The video below shows how you can quickly make these list and they can be shared digitally with students or printed.  The digital copy is nice for parents to be able to see what was completed each day in the classroom and what is left to complete.  

 I've started using teacher Desmos activities to help create small groups, self checking activities, and for instant feedback.  I'm currently using it as we review for our next benchmark/district test.  One part you can add is feedback for students.  I like using this part because I want them to know right away whether they are right or wrong.   This helps students ask questions and not go thinking they are doing it right to find out at the end.
