New York Launches Public School Curriculum Based on Playing Games | Popular Science - 0 views

  •  
    "It is important to note that Quest is not a school where children spend their day playing commercial videogames," says the Q2L website. A look at the school's curriculum confirms a far more ambitious and hands-on approach to education -- after all, the school does abide by New York State education standards. The 20 to 25 students in each class, each equipped with a laptop, attend four 90-minute periods each day, rather than study individual subjects.

      Another activity on the same website as the previous posted one. Instead of working with operations with scientific notation, students can practice converting between standard notation and scientific notation.

      Like this option as some students tend to mix up rules when different problems are placed together. This will emphasize paying attention to details of the questions and having the students ask them self how to approach the problem.

  • Enter your answer using the keyboard. Press the 'x' key, and the computer will recognize that you now wish to enter the exponent of a number in scientific format. If you make a mistake, you can correct it using the backspace key.

Scientifi to Decimal Conversions - 0 views

      This is a good activity for students to practice the learning objectives for my module containing scientific notation. With this students will be given random problems to solve.
  • Using the keyboard, enter your answer in scientific format, with one non zero digit before the decimal point (for example 65.3 x 107 should be written as 6.53 x 108). Press the 'x' key, and the computer will recognize that you now wish to enter the exponent of a number in scientific format. If you make a mistake, you can correct it using the backspace key.

      These directions are perfect at explaining how students will need to enter their answer it which if not noted would have been an issue for some students.

Linear Functions Lab - 0 views

      This is a lab activity that I can use in my course to introduce students to linear functions. At this time, I am contemplating whether to use it as an in-class activity or having it that the place of a video for a lecture and become a lesson that is discovery for students to use on their own.

      This is the concern for using it as an online lesson. This requires the use of Java and it could be an app that students do not have on their computer at home as I had complications with it at first.

      Pink Highlighter - Students would not have a graphing calculator and I would not want them using one online.

      This is a game that can be used in the beginning days of school to review number operations and get students minds back in math mode after a long summer.

      This is another game that can be used in the beginning of the class to help review order of operations and help students to get to know each other when placed in groups to help develop the class community.
