Pythagorean Theorem Infographic

 I actually can't take credit for this, it was already an existing template in Canva, but there's honestly nothing I would change. So I'm not claiming that I created it, but it's what I would use if I needed an infographic on the Pythagorean Theorem.

    Hi Carrie,

    This is a very nice infographic. Do you think you would ever feel comfortable making your own? IT's nice that there are already so many wondeful ones to choose from!

      I do TONS of guided notes and anchor charts in Classkick for my students. I make them in Powerpoint because that's what I'm most familiar with and it's so much faster than going through the learning curve of Canvas...So I'm not trying to NOT use Canvas, but if I can achieve the same outcome in Powerpoint then for my daily job that's what I use.

Reflection on lines and angles unit

Image
Last week we started a unit on lines and angles. Every year that I have taught this unit I have used the same guided notes (slightly revised each year, but the bones have remained). This unit is very vocab heavy, including but not limited these terms:  Supplementary angles Complimentary angles Corresponding angles Vertical angles Adjacent angles Transversal Parallel lines Triangle Sum Theorem and more!  The guided notes usually take an entire lesson and sometimes spill into the next day, without actually applying any of the information. This year I scrapped all that. What vocabulary do they need to know to be successful in this unit? They don't need the textbook definition of "vertical angles." They need to be able to recognize angles that across from each other when 2 lines cross, and understand that those angles are congruent. So I think in all these discussions about academic vocabulary, we also need to keep our eye on the ball. What do students need to know to be succ...

Reflection on Pythagorean Thoerem Lesson & Comprehensible Input

 Last week (week of Feb 24) we wrapped up our unit on the Pythagorean Theorem. We spent a good deal of time reviewing key vocabulary, predominantly "leg," "hypotenuse" and "square root." I found myself intentionally adjusting my speech when making sure to use the proper vocabulary word, while sometimes I find myself rapidly thinking out loud during more basic explanations. For example, I don't worry too much about slowing my speech when I say, "I'm going to add 2 and 3." I say it as fast as I can write it on my screen. But by the end of the unit, I had found a cadence with saying at a specific tempo, "A squared plus b squared...calculate...take your square root...round correctly," and students were building fluency by those repeated instructions.  I digress. So I presented them with this question:  "On the coordinate plane, what is the length of the line segment that connects points at (-1, 0), and (6, 2)?"  I displaye...
