Any application projects or lessons you do with logarithms at the algebra 2 level? I do a lit of real world with exponential but my log unit is so dry and abstract. Ideas? 💡Resources?

By no means an original idea, but here's my attempt at a quadratics completion table. When doing this in lesson, I gave out fully blank grids, and did one row at a time together as a class, giving a different starting box each time. It worked pretty well. interwovenmaths.com/quadraticsta...

So much wrong in the world, it feels weird to just post about holiday themed math. But, bringing joy to kids that need us can be resistance. ❤️ So, another holiday, another list of activities for math class. Here’s some ideas for Valentine’s Day open.substack.com/pub/anniefor...

Anyone have a favorite article (or other resource) for thinking about QUESTIONING in a lesson? (As in: asking good questions to uncover or push student thinking) Trying to support some teachers with more resources. #MTBoS #iteachmath

Great question. As department chair, I would love to facilitate this. Ideas? 💡 Success stories?

Saw a fun “Capture the Flag” review game in a class today. Students got to go steal a flag from another group every time they got a question right. But at the end, the point value of the flags was revealed. Ss reactions were hilarious!

Loved doing this when I taught Algebra 1. Great way to get students to connect points on the line with the equation.
