Differentiation Strategy: Varsity Practice

Hi there!

In today's video for Vlogoween, I talk about how getting rid of honors classes, while it comes with more work around differentiation and lesson planning, has been incredible in making our district's math education more equitable.

The problems I mentioned are below--they're all compiled from other online sources and I only created the systems of equations problems at the end!

As always, I would love to hear about how this goes in your classroom if you use it. And if you make it better, please let me know how so that I can grow too! No one is as smart as all of us together!

Geometry Project: Stained Glass Constructions and Art History

Hi there!

I get so excited any time an educator contacts me asking about something that piqued their interest about my classroom--whether you're from a different city, state, or country, thank you for reaching out! I'm sorry I'm not able to respond to every email I get, so I'm hoping to be more intentional about this year's Vlogoween and use it as an opportunity to share the documents and rubrics you might find helpful as I talk through different systems and activities in my classroom!

Today, I'm going to share a project that is inspired by an idea from two of my former students--using patty paper/tracing paper to make stained glass while we practice geometric constructions! I talk through the project and share student examples on today's video:

And the documents I made are below:



As always, I would love to hear about how this goes in your classroom if you use it. And if you make it better, please let me know how so that I can grow too! No one is as smart as all of us together!
