<br />
When the day arrives to derive the formula, I tend to make a big deal out of how difficult the day is going to be, how frustrated they will become, and how proud and excited I will be if they don't give up; how proud THEY will be if they come close to the end. I also give out TONS of encouragement and of course lots of help. <br />
<br />
I let students go mostly on their own, with some guided notes to help as they struggle through the class period, and I wander around helping students as they are working and discussing the task with their peers. <br />
<br />
Each year, I continue to be amazed as they take on this difficult task, trudge through it, hurt their brains and continue on! Each year, among and beyond the frustration, there are high fives, congratulations and proud moments of accomplishments! <br />

In the past, I just taught them the steps to write inverse functions and the concept was definitely lost on them. <br />
So I came up with this little exploration activity to help them see how inverse functions are related to each other. It's all based on a fictional trip to Europe where students convert money and temperatures. <br />
You can find the activity at my TpT store by clicking on the image.<br />

AWESOME! I couldn't resist trying this out in my class. I teach a remedial class called Algebra AB, which is the first semester of Algebra 1 over the entire year. I was leery of this activity and knew that I needed to have a very structured activity that held each student accountable for the thinking and processing involved to fully comprehend the basic main goal: to understand that a linear function will have an adding pattern, or increase/decrease at a constant rate and that an exponential function will have a multiplicative pattern and why their graphs are shaped the way that they are. So after much thought, the help of the original idea from Learning with Tape and some zombie clip art I came up with <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-ipou9PDtkCZ1ZaQ052cFhhenc/view?usp=sharing">this lesson plan</a>, that involves a <a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B-ipou9PDtkCU2Iwd1VmU29rUU0/view?usp=sharing">fun zombie simulation, an extension activity and an exit ticket</a>. Students were very engaged and loved the activity! Success! <br />

I purchased some "Cool Cubes" this year and have been putting them to good use. The students were really excited about them at first and I think the first time I used them we just wrote vocabulary words on them, rolled them, then said the word in Spanish and English. Needless to say, they became "NOT Cool Cubes" after that. The next time we used them to conjugate verbs and they moved back up a notch on the coolness factor. Anyway, we used them again today to practice the present progressive. I like them because it gives students a variety of choices for subject pronoun, verb matches. They like them, because, well, they are big foam dice! You don't need cool cubes to do this activity, and in fact, until this year I have just been using two dice with a "key" on the board. They use one die to tell them what they subject is and the other for the verb. For example, 1): yo 2): tú, etc and then on the other die 1) comer 2) hablar etc. They roll the dice and conjugate verbs and use them in sentences. Roll a 1 and a 2 and say (or write) "Yo estoy hablando (en la clase de español)". It's a fun alternative to a blah worksheet and the students seem to enjoy it. If you would like to try it out in your class and don't have cool cubes or dice I've included everything you need to give it a try in your class. Just click on the image and get what you need! We used these today with the present progressive tense, but you can use them for any tense! You might try laminating them and using a hot glue gun to glue them together (at least, that's what I would do!) I also included a blank cube so you can write whatever you want! Again, I would laminate first, then you can write, erase, reuse! Your own cool cubes! How cool!<br />

Every year I see sentences like "Tengo que la clase de arte." and my ears hurt inside my head. :) To try and combat this very common error, I helped students write sentences using both tener and tener que and then had them draw and color pictures of their sentences. It seemed to be helpful, I didn't see any "I have to art class." sentences. If you'd like a copy of the template I used, click on the image below!<br />

This can be a somewhat odd concept for English speakers as we do not necessarily have reflexive verbs in English. We have been doing several practice activities and I want to try and help students write sentences that have all of the pieces they need. We worked through a fun sentence unscramble activity and then did some drawing and independent sentence writing. I think they're beginning to grasp the concept! I'm including the sentence drawing activity we did here, click <a href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByLQSee4s5tPLWhjb2ZTWTJPNU0/edit">HERE </a>to get a copy.

You've got to love 'em. We've been working our way through parabolas and quadratics in my Algebra 2 class and in preparation for solving quadratics we are learning how to factor. Of course, we started by factoring the GCF from polynomial expressions. I created a few tic-tac-toe game boards for factoring the GCF to give the students a more fun way to practice and thought I'd share them with you all! Click on the image to get the game boards!

<br /></div>
I've been working on some things for my classroom for next year and needed some black and white digital papers. I couldn't really find much so I went about creating my own. In the process, I ended up creating a ton of colorful papers, and whodathunk I LOVE polka dots!? What?! So anyway, I thought I'd share the love and offer up some polka dot goodness. Click<a href="https://docs.google.com/open?id=0ByLQSee4s5tPZHpHd0xaMi1Pdzg" style="background-color: yellow;"> here</a> to get some pink polka dot digital paper FREE. Click the image below to get the whole set of 16 digital papers (polka dots and stripes) at my TpT store. Enjoy!<br />

If, in fact, I am made aware of a student's birthday (usually by another student wanting to acknowledge their friend), I have a singing monkey that sits on their desk and sings Happy Birthday in Spanish. They LOVE it (even my math students that don't take Spanish)!<br />
<a href="http://www.teachersdiscovery.com/Item--i-01-088-N00525"><img alt="SINGING BIRTHDAY MONKEY " src="http://www.teachersdiscovery.com/ProductImages/Thumbnails/n525.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
So I've been thinking about what more I could do to acknowledge a student on their birthday. I recently stumbled across the birthday balloons you may have seen on pinterest or <a href="http://www.mrsfreshwatersclass.com/2012/06/happy-happy-birthday-baby.html">Mrs. Freshwater's Class</a> Blog or <a href="http://whattheteacherwants.blogspot.com/2010/11/student-birthdays.html">What The Teacher Wants Blog</a> and I decided to make a high school, printer friendly version of my own! I'm planning to attach the balloons to a pencil or maybe a small pixie stick. I'm also going to create a birthday recognition chart complete with birthday banner and a list of student's birthdays for each month. <br />

Students needed to explain each form of a quadratic, standard and vertex, and how to graph a function in each form. Then they needed to <i>show</i> two examples of functions being graphed from each form. <br />
The materials on hand were.... 11x17 in. white paper (to create the shutter fold), colored paper, graph paper, markers, crayons, glue and of course their brilliant minds! I think they turned out great and I can't wait to decorate my classroom with these!<br />
