The Genius in YOU!

Every Fulbright math teacher has genius in them. It's true. And it takes time to discover, develop, and unleash that genius.



Given the shift of instructional practices in the Common Core math classroom, FJHS math teachers have been gifted with time to investigate the genius that will build better math students. Stay tuned for task prompts to jump start this adventure...

    1. Let me email you some documents that include all four transformations. Perhaps that will help you grab a big picture view. Meanwhile, I'll prepare a post to share under the MATH-8 tab that will include teaching thoughts.

  2. Lisa,

    I didn't feel well with the entire first unit of Math-8. It just didn't flow well together. Any ideas?

  3. Alg kids are stressing...they want me to show them an example and let them practice it. They are not fans of Common Core. Ideas on how to handle the emotional side of this?

    Is this where I post my questions for Genius Hour?

    1. My students and I call this the process vs. concept issue. ;) Great question! And I will take questions anywhere I can get them...but I did notice you found the contact form in the right sidebar. Perfect!
