Another day in #algebra means another cut and paste! @Seneca_High I try and make math as engaging as possible so I can reach all learners! @CMPunches44 @CounselorSeneca

Barbie Bungee Day @Seneca_High ! We collected data in class last week and generated regression lines to predict the number of rubber bands needed. The groups that collected the best data on a small scale did the best outside. @jcps @CounselorSeneca @CMPunches44 @TheStatsMedic

[Cynthia Kemp-Nelson @KempMath]

Barbie bungee prep has begun @Seneca_High. We will apply two variable statistics to determine how many rubber bands it takes to bungee off the band tower. @CounselorSeneca @CMPunches44 @TheStatsMedic

@Seneca_High Solving quadratic equations doesn’t haven’t to be boring. We solved equations by graphing then linked our answers together. @JCPSKY @CounselorSeneca @CMPunches44

[Cynthia Kemp-Nelson @KempMath]

Who says cut and paste is for elementary school? @Seneca_High we reviewed key features of quadratic functions with cut and paste. Math IS fun! @CMPunches44 @CounselorSeneca @MrCMakesMeThink

[Cynthia Kemp-Nelson @KempMath]

@Seneca_High We made anchor charts for families of functions, then did a gallery walk recording all the key features! Walking around is better than doing a worksheet. @SenecaAP_AGLA @CounselorSeneca @JCPSKY @CMPunches44

Lots of fun happening in math class @Seneca_High. Algebra 2 is reviewing linear functions by measuring rope, then tying knots and re-measuring. Statistics is using M&Ms to review categorical vs numerical data. @SenecaAP_AGLA @CounselorSeneca @JCPSKY

@Seneca_High we celebrated @KentuckyDerby by making horses from pool noodles, answering some questions on exponents, then having a race! Happy Derby!! @JCPSKY @SenecaAP_AGLA @FaheySeneca_FA @CounselorSeneca #coteaching #playatwork

I had the privilege of attending @Seneca_High JROTC with @Seneca1stSgt and watching the promotions. Always great to see the seniors during their last promotion. Shout out to two seniors that are joining the @KYArmyGuard and another that had to put up with me two years in a row.

Barbie Bungee is one of the best parts of my statistics class @Seneca_High. We collect data and predict the total number of rubber bands needed. Then they test them out on the @SHSRedHawkBand tower.

Binomial distribution carnival @Seneca_High They had to create a game AND explain why it is a binomial distribution. Rolling dice, fishing for ideas, a catapult and dropping paratroopers were parts of the carnival. Shout out to @JCPSHighEA_AofL @CMPunches44 for joining us!

[Cynthia Kemp-Nelson @KempMath]

My favorite day: Carnival day @Seneca_High! We had a variety of games and @SenecaAP_AGLA was able to stop by and join in on the fun. The toughest part was determining the theoretical probability then comparing it to the experimental probability. #statsproject @JCPSKY

[Cynthia Kemp-Nelson @KempMath]

Human Box Plots @Seneca_High in algebra 2. We lined up by height then gave the minimum, Q1, median, Q3, and maximum a yard stick. Then connect it with string and we have a box plot! @TheStatsMedic, have you tried this? @CMPunches44 @SenecaAP_AGLA

[Cynthia Kemp-Nelson @KempMath]

The carnival is coming @Seneca_High during my stats class during 6th period. Here is a sneak peek of a couple attractions ahead of Friday. Any administrator or teacher welcome, even district level people! @SenecaAP_AGLA @CMPunches44 @JCPSHighEA_AofL @MsMerkel @CounselorSeneca

When reviewing combinatorics @Seneca_High one of my seniors remembered the book I read to them as juniors. 🤩 Then we drew a diagram of all the different types of coffees you can order off a menu with 4 sizes, 4 kinds of coffee and 7 shots of flavors. #literacyinmath @CMPunches44

@Seneca_High It is spirit week!!!

[Cynthia Kemp-Nelson @KempMath]

We made anchor charts @Seneca_High in algebra 2 to prepare for our upcoming unit on polynomial functions. Bring on second semester! @SenecaAP_AGLA

[Cynthia Kemp-Nelson @KempMath]

Ugly sweater day @Seneca_High with @SenecaAP_AGLA

[Cynthia Kemp-Nelson @KempMath]

We are getting in the holiday spirit @Seneca_High !

[Cynthia Kemp-Nelson @KempMath]

@Seneca1stSgt It was such a sweet surprise!
