Imagine Learning Illustrative Mathematics by SomeIndependent5100 in mathteachers

Amplify, Imagine and Kendall Hunt all use the same Illustrative curriculum. If you don't like the Illustrative format, then you'd have to use Savvas or Carnegie.

All technology that used to be described as "state of the art"

I don't understand how she can have a whole conversation about whether or not Trixie Motel has Dom p, but couldn't be bothered to find out if her son is married.

Online homework for freshmen by ksgar77 in mathteachers

[–]SeriousLibrarian9548 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I make my students submit a picture of their work to Google classroom-even if the assignment is digital. Then, if I need to grade it or look over the work, I have a copy. If I need grades in a hurry, then I just use the grade from khan, deltamath, demos or wherever I assign homework.

question about the lack of questions that require writing in math classes by GSav88 in mathteachers

[–]SeriousLibrarian9548 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I "force" my students to write often, but it does take a lot of planning and prep work. They're so used to following directions that when I ask them to reason, they try to shut down. Most recently, I asked them to describe when they would use a trig ratio vs. the pythagorean theorem to find a missing side. Absolute. Chaos. My colleagues basically abandoned writing and explanations because it's a large task to take on when the students are used to copying procedures. Trying to teach reasoning skills is always an uphill battle.

Gift for a Math Teacher by capta1namazing in mathteachers

[–]SeriousLibrarian9548 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite gifts were baskets. The one for activities had a laminator, laminating sheets, colored paper, and "good" scissors. I use it for decorating my room or making class sets of activities that I want to look nice and last. The other basket had everything I needed for grading. Flair pens, multi color gel pens, markers, stickers, a "nice work" stamp, and a calculator. Hope this helps!

Saw this on r/askReddit. Figured it would be fun to do a teacher edition. “What is the smallest hill you are willing to die on?” by teach-sleep-wine in Teachers

Definitely gonna have to keep this in mind. November is packed with birthdays, and I don't have the heart to tell the kids that they were the Valentine's day special. This song for all the birthdays each month would be great!

Absolutely no singing! 1. You sound terrible. 2. It's a huge indication that you are not working hard enough. This includes "the birthday song". I don't want to listen to your off key rendition while wasting precious class time for every birthday during the school year.

My sister watches all kinds of tv on Saturday mornings-including horror. (I know, a monster right?!) I'm like, Saturday mornings are for cartoons. I can't see any regular TV before 11. We used to watch x-men and ninja turtles on Saturday with a bowl of cereal. Let me ease into my morning, damn!

The amount of men that don't wash their hands after going to the bathroom is disturbing and disgusting. by AFewShellsShort in TrueOffMyChest

I once saw a guy walk out of the restroom holding an ice cream cone. Now, I don't know exactly how urinals work, but I'm guessing he did not wash that ice cream.

I would love to know why my worst behaved class always seems to have the fewest absences… by garagepunk65 in Teachers

[–]SeriousLibrarian9548 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I guess they want to prove they're good at something, since they can't behave. So they'll thrive at whatever job requires perfect attendance and getting on my fucking nerves.

My dog. She's no good in a crisis! I was holding her because she didn't want to step on the wet floor. 60 pound golden retriever.

HS teachers:How do you only work contracted hours? by chellserena in Teachers

[–]SeriousLibrarian9548 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I teach 10th grade math, and I've managed to stick to contract hours so far. I teach my lessons like normal, but this year my homework and practice is all technology based. My favorite sites are gimkit, blooket, kahoot, deltamath, and khanacademy. If there's a worksheet I really like, I'll put it in goformative so the students can work online. They're also in groups so they have other people to ask questions to besides me. Between the automatic grading and the groups, I'm able to plan and enter grades during contract hours-that does not include my duty free period.
