8 is my lucky number: Goodbye 2016 Hello 2017
http://8ismyluckynumber.blogspot.com/2017/01/goodbye-2016-hello-2017.html
8 is my lucky number. Monday, January 2, 2017. Goodbye 2016 Hello 2017. I have been enjoying reading new 2017 posts on Twitter from #MTBoS and figured I should wrap up 2016 with some stats and set up 2017 with some goals. On my blog, I wrote 73 posts this year! I looked back to see I wrote my first blog post on 3/11/13, my husband's birthday. I have written 198 posts in total, so last year was busy! I do love writing, blogging, reflecting, and having a journal of my work. 3 conferences so far. A Day in t...

8 is my lucky number: Gilmore Girls Math
http://8ismyluckynumber.blogspot.com/2017/01/gilmore-girls-math.html
8 is my lucky number. Saturday, January 7, 2017. I started watching the original Gilmore Girls on the Friday after Thanksgiving, like all day that day! I was hooked right away and couldn't imagine why I never caught an episode the first time around. Then, I realized I was in the middle of having my babies. I just can't get enough. It is so good! Ah, the good old days. I feel like one season for TV now is 7 episodes. So, I did some math: (not counting the most recent brand new Gilmore Girls). However, ima...

http://statteacher.blogspot.com/2015/08/mtbos-blaugust-prompts-2015.html
Saturday, August 1, 2015. MTBoS Blaugust Prompts 2015. After my earlier post, the wonderful @pamjwilson asked me to share the Blaugust prompts. However, the prompts that I had planned to use were technically for the video gaming community and not at all tailored to the MTBoS. I asked Pam and Beth (@algebrasfriend) if they. Have fun and tweet out your blog post with #MTBoSBlaugust so we can all read your posts! Prompts for the MTBoS Blaugust 2015. What do you hope to get out of Blaugust this year? Brain b...

Friday, July 24, 2015. Today I am working on setting up the style and design of this blog of mine. I set up the blog last summer, but didn't get very far with it.

Fail Early and Often: July 2014
http://failearlyandoften.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
Fail Early and Often. Thursday, July 31, 2014. Seeking in the MTBoS. A recent post by Greg Taylor. Has supplied me with all kinds of good ideas that I've put into practice. My rationale for my outline. But I want that to stop. So my plea: is there anyone out there who just feels like stats class is fundamentally flawed, who is willing to break completely from a textbook, who wants to try full-on project based learning in stats? Wednesday, July 30, 2014. TMC folks like to play. How I organize statistics.

Teaching on the East Side: July 2016
http://teachingontheeastside.blogspot.com/2016_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 28, 2016. Card Sorts for Groups. After a brief chat on doing card sorts with groups by @samjshah on Twitter earlier this week, I was reminded of a method for doing a group card sort that I learned a couple years ago. I had completely forgotten about learning this at a school PD day and was thankful for the memory prompt. The method was presented by an amazing teacher on my campus, Ramy Mamoud. And a group of three students. Here's how this card sort would work:. The first student in the gr...

Teaching on the East Side: August 2015
http://teachingontheeastside.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 28, 2015. So excited about the Desmos Class Activity I created yesterday. I was inspired by Meg Craig (@mathymeg07) of Insert Clever Math Pun Here. After she shared a post about her transformations activity( here. Some of these are a bit challenging, but I'm hoping my honors kiddos can handle it, maybe not without a little struggle first though. Thursday, August 27, 2015. 8221; Yikes, that’s definitely not what we are doing. I told her that we were going to learn everything by ta...I've pa...

Teaching on the East Side: Assessment Reflection
http://teachingontheeastside.blogspot.com/2016/07/assessment-reflection.html
Saturday, July 23, 2016. There has to be a better way, and maybe some of you all already have a great way of doing this that I haven't stumbled upon yet! As I sat this week preparing my materials for a Google Apps PD session I'm facilitating for the teachers in our district in a few weeks, I started thinking about how I could use Google Forms to collect this data. Would love any ideas or feedback that you think might improve upon what I have here. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Card Sorts for Groups.
