Eleanor Erickson's Personal Learning Path

During my Functions lesson, I'd like to challenge my implementation of outside sources into the classroom, specifically with technology usage and also have a project based learning activity. I'd like to reacquaint myself with all the different modes, buttons and additional uses of the TI calculators. Common Core Standard:  Goal for this Lesson: In addition to presenting students with different types of functions and how graph them, in this unit I'd like to incorporate more technology use. I'd like to include in class calculator tutorials and provide additional supplementary tutorials on how to graph a function (including how to limit it's domain and range on the calculator). Additionally, I'd like to search through the internet for a computer graphing tool that could lead students into a functions project. I found this resource and I'd show my students this resources as an application example for functions. This will allow them to connect how co...

For our Second Personal Learning Path, I have chosen to discuss Algebra, more specifically how to solve inequalities and graphing them on a Number Line.  The Common Core Standard is as follows: Teaching Goal: I want to get better at facilitating a discussion with my students in order to arrive at an answer together, as a class. This facilitation won’t happen until my students have a foundational understanding of inequalities. Additionally, when the students feel more comfortable with solving and plotting inequalities on a number line, I’d like to have students lead the discussion of a problem (during share outs). Attached, I have included some of the classwork and below is a partial answer key that I will facilitate. Below is also a sample problem from the same classwork packet.    Sample Classwork Problem:   Do Now:   Mini Lesson:   Exit Ticket: An additional resources that I would steer students towards is their Alef Education Co...
