One of the latest assessments I’ve given was a test over linear functions. Some of the questions from the test are posted below. The questions attached are specifically about writing an equation from a scenario in y=mx+b format and interpreting what the x- and y- intercepts would…

1. What do you privilege when you provide feedback? Feedback is tricky. Often, students will ignore feedback, especially if they are only a grade; feedback is only useful if the students actually improve because of it. Therefore, it is essential to provide effective feedback, meaning feedback that is meaningful for…

The following is my initial blog: "My CT and I discussed the future plans, and the general estimate is that I will be teaching about transformations on a linear function. So, my objective for the first lesson is, "Students will understand how adding a coefficient to f(x)…

My biggest takeaway when building a unit was planning ahead and making sure everything connected to the big idea. It is difficult to know what the unit will compose of, especially when considering the individual lesson plans will come later in segments. Having something to glue everything together therefore was…

I think a goal I'd have for my students is to have them come up with a scenario where they can compare two similar functions to then make an informed prediction. This covers a lot of standards, including interpreting functions, graphing functions, and analyzing functions, all including different…

What does it mean to teach STEM? I resonated with this quote by Katie Egan Cunningham: "As a teacher, I notice students who enter the classroom with their heads held down. I notice the ones who remain silent as they take their seats. I notice who is chatting and…
