Goodwill 5K and Ally the Piper Concert

Well, it seems it’s been since November that I’ve actually made a post so here, I am, today in Corpus Christi, Texas making a post. I’m running a 5k Saturday morning sponsored Goodwill.  A fun fact: the course is going to run me past my hotel.

Later this evening I’m seeing Ally the Piper.  Here are some links for YouTube if you have not heard Ally’s music before.

Lunch was great here at Omni Las Colinas Hotel. I didn’t get a picture because I piled on too many tacos, rice, beans, salad and tres leches cake.

PM 1 Breakout Session – Creative Ways To Your CL Resources

You can use a Mathia problem as a warm up or exit Ticket. Have a students enter the classes responds to verify.

Split students into groups

How to do partner problems
Pause to predict before calculating

Give students directions and hold yourself to the set times to complete. But be able to cheat the time: don’t show a timer.😎

Keep a growing anchor chart.

MATHia as a co-teacher

  • JIT – just in time hints
  • Allows for small group instruction
  • Customizable

And that is a wrap for the day. Looking forward to tomorrow.
