Coach Martin is a fantastic Algebra teacher. I thanked God every day of calculus at Georgia Tech that I'd had Coach Martin to drill into me the fundamentals of Algebra. Here's to all you math teachers out there. An incredible set of indexed Common Core lesson plans by standard for grades Kindergarten - 6 in math.

Yummy Math | We provide teachers and students with mathematics relevant to our world today … Comprehension | Create Boy-Friendly Literacy Classrooms ShareThis When it comes to reading (and writing), research still shows that males tend to lag behind females. And yet, according to Jon Scieszka, research also shows that boys will read enthusiastically--if given the opportunity to read something that interests them. Redefine reading To entice reluctant readers, teachers may need to broaden their definition of what counts as "text" and offer different options. Boy-friendly reading displays Set up your classroom to entice the "grazers" versus the "diners." Role models To engage the boys who don't choose to read, enlist the endorsement of the boys who do like it. Another way to use role models to endorse reading is to intentionally pair older boys with younger ones for read-aloud time. Here are some of my favorite boy-friendly books.

Solving Inequalities in One Variable Practice Problems Home » Inequalities » Solving Inequalities » Inequalities Practice Problems Now that you've studied the many examples for solving inequalities, are you ready for some practice problems? Let's quickly recap some of the steps for solving these practice problems. Steps for Solving Inequalities Solve the inequality as you would an equation which means that "whatever you do to one side, you must do to the other side". Steps for Graphing Your Solution to the Inequality Use an open circle on the graph if your inequality symbol is greater than or less than. Now you get a chance to solve a few on your own. Directions: Solve each inequality and graph the solution. Answer Key Problem 1 Notice how I had to divide by a negative one in order to make the variable positive. Problem 2 This problem looked tricky only because I had to first simplify the right hand side. It's also good practice to check your answer by substituting a number that fits the solution back into the original inequality.

Lesson Plans & Activities Universal Access using Word Prediction Home Support Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's) Universal Access Fact Sheets by Gerry Kennedy Download this document as an MS Word .doc file 1. Introduction Word Prediction (WP) software was developed many years ago and meets a number of different text-entry needs. Students can use predicted words as they write, to help them spell more accurately and with fewer errors. Word predication software suggests words for students to read, listen to and use, with spoken feedback to help them identify and locate mistakes. 2. Many people think of WP as the software in their mobile phones that provides predictive text. It is in matching a student’s individual needs with the most relevant and pertinent program, with the set of features that are required, that afford successful implementation and ongoing viability. Word prediction does not correct grammar, sort out punctuation or provide creative ideas. Recording their ideas using a Dictaphone can assist in maintaining their fluency. 3. a. b. c. d. e.
