Hey all! I thought I would venture into the blogging world, more as a way to save my ideas and perhaps to get feedback on how to make them better, too! So here it goes...
Each summer I make an effort to do small amount of Professional Development. While browsing Twitter, I came across a few tweets about Denis Sheeran's (@MathDenisNJ) new book: Hacking Math. I was immediately intrigued by the title and the synopsis, so I immediately purchased it and off I dove into my dream for a more perfect classroom.
Just one chapter in and I was hooked. The concept of changing up my warm up, was not new to me, but I struggled with how off topic content helped me get through the extensive curriculum laid out in front of me, but the argument that #iseemath would get my students thinking, got me thinking that I wanted to give it a try, if only once a week. So, I started on a mission to document places where I saw math and what better time to start, but on vacation with a fresh view. Without further ado, these are the photos I took while on our vacation to San Francisco, and the questions that came to mind as I reflected back later. I know that their is remove for improvement in the question area - and I am totally open to suggestions. If a photo speaks to you, feel free to use it in your classroom! In fact, I hope these help at least one other person make connections with their students.
-Thanks!
