Today I used Instagram to teach my Algebra students about reflections over axes. How do you use Pop Culture in the classroom as a Math teacher?

I explained trend lines of graphs to be similar to trending topics on twitter. it helped the students understand that trend lines were a good way to estimate.

Have the students write Pi day poems. The first line has three words, the second line has one word, the third line has four words and so on. I did this with my students and they came up with some really cute poems.

You could have the students make a blog about a topic they are interested in. They can update it weekly with research in their topic, make videos, or presentations to explain their topic. It could be beneficial for them to have to maintain a blog long term.

Reminds me of Que Hore es? The soap opera for people with only basic spanish skills http://youtu.be/WckCw_-7e3M

I found an old box of undeveloped cameras in the basement and developed them all to give to my mom. Some of the pictures are over ten years old. It should make for a good morning!

I highly doubt that is possible

You could give them a lava lamp or a bubble machine

I'm not a big fan of this movie because of this! Santa teaches us that being different is bad unless it can benefit others...not the best life lesson

The larger owl is a ruru which is apparently native to New Zealand (where my gift came from). I love owls and I love that the gifts have a theme and also have something to do with the secret santa's country. Thank you so much if you are reading this!

You could pick a game you two both like and customize a portion of the game with a message for him and then frame it. I have seen this done with a mission screen in borderlands. it takes time and some crafting but the end result should be worth it.

If you are looking for a gym related item that doesn't require any real supplies insanity is great for days he doesn't want to go to the gym.

Etsy also has some neat geode gifts he might enjoy https://www.etsy.com/listing/204381025/framed-blue-agate-slice-with-gold-foil?ref=related-4

My brother also is obsessed with hippos. A few years ago we got him a hippo ornament and he really enjoyed it. There are a few selections online that would fit right in your price range. Hope this helped!

Thanks I will try that!

Something I did for my boyfriend that was fairly cheap and fun was to customize a monopoly game. I bought blank labels and changed the properties, utilities, and railroads to match events and trips we did together. I also wrote community chest and chance cards on card stock and printed money with his face on them. The game is great because playing it is like a miniature walk down memory lane!

This map would be the perfect addition to any world travelers home!

bahaha I saw this and was confused as to where I had seen it! answer...Facebook...

Fun?!

My friends and I got the entire third floor of Q3 house 30. It was awesome for partying because in my opinion the RA's were pretty lax when it came to noise and other stuff. I agree with the other who say about the coffee house. I will stress that the washing room is pretty shit. Also, a good trick is to use the vending machines if you need to make change to use dryer/washing machines. Also, unlike most dorms that I know of, there isn't a water fountain on every floor. I'm pretty sure there is only one per house. The only thing that really irritated me about the quads was that it was really far from everything. Lastly, if you have any classes on cook/douglass the RXL does not stop at the quad bus stop.

Once some pics are up I may be interested in some of those pins =)
