I have a question for you about how you handle homework. Right now, I walk the room to make sure the homework has been completed. It takes about a minute. 5 points if there is work shown and an answer attempted for every problem. 3 points if you did half the problems or so. 1 point if I only see that one or two are done. I project the answers on the board after the Bell we go over them briefly and then move into the lesson. If there are questions, I'll answer. This often takes more time than I want. This year we would like to do the function of the day warm up as the do now and I'm not sure how to carve out the 5 minutes it'll take. How do you handle homework review / grades?

@KateDean-SecondaryMath2 ай бұрын
I have a love hate relationship with 1st hour prep. I love when my 1st hour prep falls on a Monday (which is every other week) because it allows me to make sure I have everything ready for the week. Friday's I would rather have prep towards the end of the day only because I would rather be able to grade homework/tests/projects prior to the weekend, but I cannot because I have prep before I have students. I used to do all of my work for the day on my first period prep, but had to change my thinking and really push myself to spend prep to get head not play catch up. Our Impact period is 30 minutes long 4 days a week. It is REALLY great in theory, but students just do not want to get help. I try writing passes for kids to come, but they just don't want to.

Have you ever heard of eMATHinstruction? It’s a curriculum developed by a NYS teacher. NYS is in the process of transitioning from CC to NextGen Standards. He has notes and homework already made in Spanish. I’m assuming he’ll do this for Geometry (since those standards won’t be taught until next year); take a look at the Algebra 1 materials to see what I’m talking about. The lesson on probability you taught today is something I used to teach when I taught 7th grade math. I’m surprised you say “reduce”. We say “simplify” fractions because reduce means to make smaller and we don’t want our students to think 1/2 is smaller than say 3/6.
@KateDean-SecondaryMath3 ай бұрын
I have not heard of eMATHinstruction. I will have to take a look at it!! Yes, the probability lesson was a VERY basic lesson. Quantitative Reasoning is a college class for non-STEM majors, so it is very basic math. We start off learning how to convert between decimals, fractions, percents. It is a 100-level college class, so we do not get into anything very complicated. We do a little more with probability, but nothing like they would see if they were in a Stats course. I use Reduce and Simplify interchangeably. I do find it interesting hearing different word usage in different parts of the country/world. Our old curriculum definitely used both. I see reduce to mean you are making the numerator and denominator numbers smaller rather than making the fraction "smaller". I did a bit of googling to see, and it looks like both are commonly used. This is just one more reason math is difficult for students! There are so many terms and some mean different things in different contexts.

How about supporting them with a Spanish video based on what you thought in English and then they can listen to it as needed. You can also reinforce it during a small-group to make they are understanding. However, I find the ELL students do not have a solid math foundation and are many years behind, at least in my state.

I have a few advantages with my students doing projects. The high school I teach at is broken into mini schools, and my kids are part of the Arts school, so most have a huge interest in Art, which is what prompted me to start doing so many artistic type projects. My students are motivated simply because Art is their passion. My PreCalculus students are extra motivated because they are our above average student and are motivated to do well in school. Some of the projects I get from my Geometry students are not all that great, and some just don't do the project at all (even when they have class time to work on them). I wish you all the best as you transition to teaching high school. They are so much fun to work with, but just as equally challenging!

Hi Dear Dean, I am a senior mathematics teaching undergraduate student in Turkey. I am sometimes surprised when I examine the classrooms in America and see the teaching methods. The work you do is very sacred. There are some points that I wonder about, for example, why the table arrangement in your classrooms is usually in group form, instead of concrete materials in mathematics lessons, Geogebra Wouldn't it be more practical to use it? It seems to me that physical materials are too childish for high school students. Teachers here also get paid during summer and mid-term breaks. Is it the same in America? In Turkey, teachers are required to study for a minimum of 21 hours and a maximum of 40 hours a week. How many hours a week do teachers in the United States spend in class? As a teacher candidate in Turkey, I have always wondered about teaching in the USA. Is this possible? If so, can you give me information about the procedure?
@KateDean-SecondaryMath4 ай бұрын
My students are seated in groups because I often ask them to work together on problems during class. Getting used to working with others is a soft skill our students need to learn for when they get a job. Yes, some of the manipulatives may appear childish but I have to do what it takes for my kids to understand the concepts. Not all of my students are at level with their math skills (some at a 2nd or 3rd grade math level) and I need to find ways to reach them. I have also found that students understand things better if they can manipulate it. The time a teacher is in the classroom varys from one school district to another. I am with students for 35 hours a well, but am in the school building for 40 hours a well (unless I decide to come in early or stay late to get things done). The process to teach in each state is different. You would have to look at the Department of Education for the state you are interested in to see what their requirements are.

Most teachers believe that students have to learn lots of things and there's no place for fun. For example the things you show in video russian kids learn in 7th grade. And also they can't choose subjects and need to attend all of them. So by the end of 11 grade (the last grade in Russian school) students have ton of information they don't need

They get a 0 in Canvas and are given until the unit test to turn in the homework. By the test, if they turn it in, it gets graded. If, after the test, it is still not turned in, it stays a 0. I know this isn't necessarily best for ALL kids, I have had SO many students mention that they were more successful with me because they knew they had deadlines for homework and just HAD to do it and turn it in on time, where with other teachers they don't have deadlines and simply didn't do the work.

I would agree that many do not have the foundational skills to be in Geometry in the first place, and that is a big part of their struggle.
I can double check the videos for you! I am a native Spanish speaker and am looking into the field of education. I currently work as an engineer
I absolutely LOVE the creativity from your students! I'm going to be moving up to high school (from MS) next year. What tips can you share to encourage the HS students to be so creative in the projects? I also LOVE your visuals on the whiteboard!!
I have a few advantages with my students doing projects. The high school I teach at is broken into mini schools, and my kids are part of the Arts school, so most have a huge interest in Art, which is what prompted me to start doing so many artistic type projects. My students are motivated simply because Art is their passion. My PreCalculus students are extra motivated because they are our above average student and are motivated to do well in school. Some of the projects I get from my Geometry students are not all that great, and some just don't do the project at all (even when they have class time to work on them). I wish you all the best as you transition to teaching high school. They are so much fun to work with, but just as equally challenging! Feel free to reach out anytime if you want to bounce ideas around! My email is [email protected]

I LOVE the creativity!! You gave me some inspiration! I teach 6th grade and we spend a lot of time with circumference and angles. I could totally adapt this for their level.
I am glad you found inspiration from this video!! I would love to hear what you end up doing with your students for circumference and angles. I LOVE doing projects with my students. So many of them are so artistic, so they are able to truly shine through these projects.
Hi Dear Dean, I am a senior mathematics teaching undergraduate student in Turkey. I am sometimes surprised when I examine the classrooms in America and see the teaching methods. The work you do is very sacred. There are some points that I wonder about, for example, why the table arrangement in your classrooms is usually in group form, instead of concrete materials in mathematics lessons, Geogebra Wouldn't it be more practical to use it? It seems to me that physical materials are too childish for high school students. Teachers here also get paid during summer and mid-term breaks. Is it the same in America? In Turkey, teachers are required to study for a minimum of 21 hours and a maximum of 40 hours a week. How many hours a week do teachers in the United States spend in class? As a teacher candidate in Turkey, I have always wondered about teaching in the USA. Is this possible? If so, can you give me information about the procedure?
My students are seated in groups because I often ask them to work together on problems during class. Getting used to working with others is a soft skill our students need to learn for when they get a job. Yes, some of the manipulatives may appear childish but I have to do what it takes for my kids to understand the concepts. Not all of my students are at level with their math skills (some at a 2nd or 3rd grade math level) and I need to find ways to reach them. I have also found that students understand things better if they can manipulate it. The time a teacher is in the classroom varys from one school district to another. I am with students for 35 hours a well, but am in the school building for 40 hours a well (unless I decide to come in early or stay late to get things done). The process to teach in each state is different. You would have to look at the Department of Education for the state you are interested in to see what their requirements are.

Hi,I’m planning to move USA as a high school mathematics teacher,could you please tell me which syllabus is followed there?,..I mean is it IB?
I am sorry to say I do not have an answer for you. Each state has their own requirements and each school district within each state varies as well. I would suggest looking at the Department of Education for the particular state to see what their requirements are.
Oooo I like this method. I have a year long cirrculum binder but I never look at it cuz it is so bulky. I like this idea of having a current unit binder as well so stealing!
I hope you find it helpful!!!
can you share your opening student slide?
Here is a link to the slides I downloaded. slidesmania.com/morning-meeting-free-template/
whitch grades are in this video?
I have 10th, 11th, and 12th graders in all of my classes.
@@KateDean-SecondaryMath wow. I like how you work with teenagers. I'm teacher too, but only for a half a year, so i like to watch videos on how my colleagues deal with things. And i also like how you let kids have fun on your lessons. I live in Russia and in our schools it's not common to teach like this. Most teachers believe that students have to learn lots of things and there's no place for fun. For example the things you show in video russian kids learn in 7th grade. And also they can't choose subjects and need to attend all of them. So by the end of 11 grade (the last grade in Russian school) students have ton of information they don't need
Did you say 17 years teaching? You barley look 30
Yes, this is year 17 for me!
@@KateDean-SecondaryMath thank you for your work. The type of work you do Is essential for civilization. People like you are the backbone of our country.
I dont knkw how anyone can concentrate in your class and not yet distracted by such a beautiful milf
I use Google Classroom. My district has Chromebooks.
Do you have your students turn in homework digitally? I sometimes wonder if having them turn in their physical homework would be better - but I am not sure I am ready for 90+ papers a day to grade and hand back. 🤷🏼♀️
What happens when a student does not complete the homework?
They get a 0 in Canvas and are given until the unit test to turn in the homework. By the test, if they turn it in, it gets graded. If, after the test, it is still not turned in, it stays a 0. I know this isn't necessarily best for ALL kids, I have had SO many students mention that they were more successful with me because they knew they had deadlines for homework and just HAD to do it and turn it in on time, where with other teachers they don't have deadlines and simply didn't do the work.
So many great resources for just a $1!
I'm a teacher in India, we don't access to all these facilities, it's very interesting that in developed countries you have all these in every school,please upload more videos about your teaching styles and method. ❤
I am very thankful for all the amazing resources I have available to me!
Awesome video. Thank you!
Thank you so much.
Classroom Screen is my must! I use it everyday in class.
I have not heard of this one. I will have to check it out.
You inspire me! I really enjoy your videos. I've been binge watching them. 😄 I've taught for 10 years, taking a year off this school year, and contemplating going back. I miss the kids and my co workers. I would love to move up from 6th to some upper classes. (I've taught HS in the past). Your calm energy is very encouraging to me.
Thank you for the kind comments! I am happy my videos have been helpful. After 10 years of teaching, I don't blame you for taking a break, especially after teaching middle school 😂 I think some of my best years were when I was teaching honors classes. I know the behavior is better, but it was more of the fact that I was able to teach challenging curriculum and push the kids and they were excited for the challenge! I wish you the best if you do go back into teaching! We definitely need more math teachers out there!!!
Yess, I loved this video. I am an aspiring High School Physics teacher. I am in my first year of college so I’m excited to start my journey getting there ❤️
I wish you the very best as you work towards your education degree!!
Hi, where is the list of Numb3rs episodes that you show your Geometry students? Does it have the ratings and any accompanying handouts?
The list is just someone one of the other math teachers I work with made on her phone. Unfortunately, I do not have any handouts to go with the show. You may be able to find something online (I am sure TPT has something). The episodes I show from Season 1: Vector (Spanish Flu) Counterfeit Reality (counterfeit money) Sniper Zero Dirty Bomb (risk analysis) Noisy Edge (UFO)
Very great video. Love your passion and enthusiasm. I am a principal at a high school and yea I can tell that I have the least number of teachers comparing to previous years. Wish I can have some teachers like you in my school; maybe come and spend a vacation here on an island in Micronesia. I hope someone can read this and at least to think about it. I am recruiting for teachers now; Science, Math, Language Arts, Social Studies, Mechanic, Carpentry, Agriculture, Food & Nutrition, Sewing, Child Development.
Thank you and I wish you all the best in finding teachers! I have heard many wonderful things about Micronesia. Several of my college friends were from there and had amazing stores to share.
Thank you so much@@KateDean-SecondaryMath
