My capstone lessons were centered around solving equations where we mostly focused on radical, rational, and quadratic equations. We learned strategies for solving equations such as rewriting and undoing. For my capstone assessment, I decided to give my students two equations to solve, one radical and one rational. Both questions…

Providing feedback can be taxing on students and teachers alike, so it is important to take a few things into account in order to make it as effective as possible. Making our feedback immediate not only helps us teachers, it is beneficial for students. I also strongly believe that we…

One lesson objective I had was “Students will be able to explain how the parameters a, h, and k transform the parent function f(x)=x2 ”. For the assessment piece of this, we had students choose a parameter and explain how it changed the parent function. We then had students…

1. My biggest takeaway from building this unit was how our standards can really inform us of what we should be doing for our lesson planning. This is also the connection I've made during this phase of our learning. For example, we can create our learning objectives based…

One goal that I have chosen for this unit plan was for students to learn how linear equations, graphs, and tables relate to each other. I believe I can connect this to students’ lives because linear growth is commonplace in our world. I think one way to assess this would…

Our students are growing up in a time where all the information in the world is at their fingertips. They can answer any question they want with their phones, so why exactly are we doing these math problems everyday? As a STEM teacher, the content serves as an opportunity for…
