A-B-C Summarize A form of review in which each student in a class is assigned a different letter of the alphabet and they must select a word starting with that letter that is related to the topic being studied.

Mycket intressant att lyssna på Karin Höijer som samtalar med doktoranderna Cecilia Lindblom, Ingela Bohm och Albina Granberg om deras forskning gällande hem- och konsumentkunskap. De pratade om deras avhandlingar, forskningens roll, recept, språk och ramfaktorer, lärares praktik, hem- och konsumentkunskapens namn. Lyssna på podden här Vi lärare ska bedriva undervisning som är baserat på vetenskaplig grund. Det är viktigt att forskning bedrivs i våra ämnen. Albina Granberg – hennes projekt heter ”Att lära laga mat”. Hennes forskning kommer förhoppningsvis göra oss hem- och konsumentkunskapslärare att bli mer medvetna om hur recepten används. Albina tror inte recepten ska komma in meddetsamma. Cecilia Lindblom – hennes projekt handlar om ramfaktorer i ämnet hem- och konsumentkunskap. Läraren har också ett ansvar utifrån de ramarna som finns att försöka tillrätta undervisningen på ett så bra sätt som möjligt.
STEM Gives Meaning to Mathematics - National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Understanding involves making connections” (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics [NCTM] 2000, p. 64). Challenging students with important mathematics prepares them to solve problems in class and at home. NCTM’s Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (2000) outlines five Process Standards that are essential for developing deep understanding of mathematics: 1. Problem Solving 2. Reasoning and Proof 3. The Common Core State Standards for Mathematics (CCSSM) include eight related Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMPs) (CCSSI 2010). How then can teachers help students see the importance of mathematics at the time that they are learning a new topic? Perfect math-application opportunities Jamerson teachers share the belief that engineering—putting scientific knowledge to practical uses—presents an ideal avenue for the application of mathematics skills. An example: Rubber-band–powered vehicles No frustration We had to redesign our car at least ten times. Healthy habits of mind

Technology supports differentiated instruction and provides the opportunity to improve teaching and learning. Tiered strategy Tiered or scaffold activities can help you not only assess student readiness, but also meet students where they are in their understanding of the content. Have students research a topic of interest and create an online presentation on their findings to demonstrate their understanding and applications of key concepts. Reinforce/review strategy Implementing activities that reinforce and review concepts allows you to assess student readiness and evaluate student growth and understanding of the concepts. Use content videos as part of whole-class instruction to help students make connections to real-world examples and applications, and even extend the learning for subgroups of students.
New Jersey State Academic Standards: Mathematics New Jersey Core Curriculum Content Standards Mathematics Introduction For more than a decade, research studies of mathematics education in high-performing countries have concluded that mathematics education in the United States must become substantially more focused and coherent in order to improve mathematics achievement in this country. These new standards build on the best of high-quality math standards from states across the country. The math standards provide clarity and specificity rather than broad general statements. In addition, the “sequence of topics and performances” that is outlined in a body of math standards must respect what is already known about how students learn. The Common Core concentrates on a clear set of math skills and concepts.
8 Exam-Prep Activities Students Actually Like After Christmas break students will return to school for 8 days of review prior to taking their End of Course Exams. I can give my students a review packet with hundreds of problems, but that would only lead to them giving up, sleeping, and not even trying. So below are 8 fun activities I created to motivate and engage my students in their final exam reviews. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. These are 8 fun review games that is sure to get students motivated to review for their final exams! Visit my blog for printables, instructions, and examples! QR Code Quest Scavenger Hunt- Part Deux! I updated & improved my QR Code Quest Scavenger Hunt lesson I previously blogged about this year & used it again with my AWEsome ESOL kids & 6th graders. I wanted to share those changes with you because it seems as if you like QR codes! Of my top 5 most viewed blog posts 3 have to do with QR codes (and yes, you know I'm barmy for 'em!) Improved worksheet and graphic clues! I found that I needed to make the scavenger hunt questions simpler & the clues more graphic. I then Photoshopped it adding the University of Maryland Terps logo onto her cute red t-shirt because she's a U of M alum & a super fan! To do this lesson, students use the two iPod touch (Gen4) from Amazon (LOVE Prime!) share in small groups.

I also created a new graphic to go with Question 9 and got to include our fuzzy friends the Angry Birds! UPDATE! Resources:
