3.        Half of x
                                                 ii.      What are the Order of Operations? What do you know about them?
II.      Body 15-20mins
a.        Students will enter notes from the session in their math composition books.
                                                   i.      Slide two: Evaluate  7 + 4 • 3.
1.       Is your answer 33 or 19?
2.       You can get 2 different answers depending on which operation you did first.  We want everyone to get the same answer so we must follow the order of operations.
                                                 ii.      Slide three: Remember the phrase
“Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally” or PEMDAS.

                                               iii.      Slide four through seven include examples
1.       7 + 4 · 3
2.       3(3 + 7) 2 ÷ 5
3.       20 - 3 • 6 + 102 + (6 + 1) • 4

b.       During the session, students will have the opportunity to interact with the presentation through solving problems online.
                                                   i.      Slides eight through ten
1.       112 + 18 - 33 · 5 Answer: 4
2.       16 - 2(10 - 3) Answer:2
3.       24 – 6 · 4 ÷ 2 Answer: 12
c.        Students will continue to  enter notes from the session in their math composition books.
                                                   i.      Slide 11:
1.       Evaluating a Variable Expression To evaluate a variable expression    
a.        Substitute the given numbers for each variable.
b.       Use order of operations to solve.
                                                 ii.      Slide 12 through 13 include examples
1.       n + (13 - n) ¸ 5       for  n = 8
2.       8y - 3x2 + 2n     for x = 5, y = 2, n =3
d.       During the session, students will have the opportunity to interact with the presentation through solving problems online.
                                                   i.      Slides 14-16
1.       10 – 4x  if  x = -13? Answer 42
2.       5k3 if k = -4? Answer -320
3.        if n = -8, m = 4, and t = 2 ? Answer -6

e.        Provide continuous feedback – are they getting it?
                                                   i.      The teacher will give practice problems throughout the lesson.

Participate 2- Collecting Reputable Digital Resources

     When thinking about which web based tools I should use, I thought about what would beneficial for my students in a math classroom. I googled virtual versions of the tools I currently use in the classroom and that helped mold the decision about what three tools I would bookmark in my social bookmarking website. The three tools that I bookmarked in my social bookmarking website were virtual algebra tiles, a math dictionary, and a scientific calculator. I chose these tools because math has been very paper based for centuries and many thinks that it’s difficult to be successful in math virtually, but it is possible with the proper tools. An orientation at the beginning of the course would be the perfect way to teach students how to find important tools like these and how to ensure that the tools are beneficial and also safe for the classroom. Important policies that should be used in deciding which tools are safe and helpful would be that is the site isn’t on the ap...

Create 2 - Web Tools for Differentiation of Student Assessment

I used the GoAnimate site to create a video showing a student's answer to the activator given earlier in the blog. This allows students to show mastery of the skill by requiring them to explain the answer and the steps to solve the problem. This shows differentiation because students have the flexibility to show how to solve the given problem and how to show the information. Being that the activating question was given in story form, it allows the student to easily connect the content to real life situations and to branch out in various ways to show mastery.

Participate 1 - Joining a DLC

     I chose to join the Twiducate site as my designated DLC. The reason why I chose this site because it allows students and teachers to create personalized social media sites for the classroom. I thought this was very different, because it brings that social aspect to the classroom that students need, but may not be able to have It makes it secure and aimed for optimal student and teacher interaction without it being inappropriate or questionable. It also is a great way to incorporate collaborative learning in the classroom by having students research and share through Twiducate, all the new information they have found about the topic of the lesson. It’s very easy to use and set up and with my Bookmarking site; it will be easy for the students to see exactly where to go to log in. Also, the fact that it’s social media will be a big plus for students and make them want to interact with the class. Whenever you give students a chance to learn through avenues that are r...
