How do we end the year? With a taco truck of course! My 7th graders were able to connect their taco truck percent project to the real world with a taco truck owner today. We enjoyed a group discussion, q & a, and a tasty treat at the end. 🌮
@JSAMSROCKS Agreed! We need to teach more than our subject area. Today we discussed perseverance and determination. We watched the video where the Marine crawled to the finish line at the Boston Marathon. Then my students rocked their open ended practice!
Day 1 of bringing scale drawings to life in 7th grade-creating a “mini me”. Ss measured length and used a scale to calculate their new mini lengths. Can’t wait to see my Ss create their “mini me” tomorrow! #JSAMSComeAlive
You could hear a pin drop while my Ss worked on solving the thief in the restaurant mystery. Ss had to calculate tax, tip and, discount to find clues about the suspect. At the end, Ss eliminated suspects using their clues. 🔎
Graffitied 90 some comp books with my students’ names. Now looking for ways to fill these pages—looking for ideas to incorporate more writing into math. Any ideas send them my way! 📓✏️
My Ss have been loving the 12 days of Christmas math challenges as their bell ringer. Today, I challenged them to make their own to stump Miss Callahan. Amazing challenges were created—problem solving, creating, and pride in their work! @mashupmath
Here we go! #JSASD donated enough food to fill 500 Holiday Meal boxes for the Love Center because #weSHOREcare Well done everyone! Tonight is for you! #campout
Another way Ss were empowered today was by giving Ss the opportunity to come up with the inequality review questions for tomorrow’s review game. #JSAMSComeAlive
