Delta Scape: What does this mean? - 1 views

  •  
    Although this post relates directly on math, I think it hits on a larger need to make sure students understand what a question is asking them and really think about the purpose of the question.
  •  
    In reading this post, I felt like I was teaching my 7th grade math students. I don't know how many times I try to restate a something to get them to UNDERSTAND the problem. I think many students just want the quick and simple... how do I solve it. To them, it doesn't matter what or why they are doing something.

    I really agree some of the things they say in the article. No difference between real life and what they post. I think many people forget about the impact of their actions on social media. Digital Footprint... it can be a big deal. I don't think students are fully aware of how their actions can impact them.

B's Book Love : STEM in English Language Arts Class - 0 views

  • 1. Design a tiny house for ANY character or author. This is the project that got my students and me hooked on STEM. After reading some informational texts on the environmental benefits of tiny houses (science), watching researching tiny house clips (technology), and evaluating character traits, my students designed a tiny house to fit the needs of a character in the novel we were reading. They used Floorplanner.com to design their houses (engineering) while calculating square footage so as not go over the 500 sq ft mark (math). I can not tell you how much my students loved this project. They really got into the design symbolism for the character and especially enjoyed seeing their designs come to life in 3D.

    This blog entry has great suggestions for ways to have students do STEM in language arts. I plan to use some of these activities as options for my 6th graders independent reading projects. My favorite STEM idea provided was designing a tiny house for any character or author.

  • In the meantime, rather than stepping in to fill in knowledge gaps and address misconceptions in class, doing this via annotated and narrated screencasts works very well for me, and for my students.
