Introduction

Hello!  My name is Sarah Lutsic and I live in Dearborn, Michigan.  I graduated with my BS in Secondary Education from CMU in May 2015 with a major in Mathematics and a minor in Earth Science and Middle Level Education.  

This is my second year of teaching.  My first year was spent at Berkley High School where I taught as a math interventionist.  I worked with students on APEX Learning to receive credit for classes they didn’t pass in the normal classroom setting.  Currently, I am working at Dearborn High School as an Algebra 2 teacher.  This school has a high population of ELL students and has been an exciting challenge!

I am concerned about the time I have to dedicate to this course.  The end of the school year is coming in quick and should become much more manageable once that is done.

    I also feel your pain regarding the end of the school year. It's so crazy but it looks like this class will be one of the fun ones. We can definitely do it!

    I also want to add that I really like the layout and type choices of your blog. Having your name stay at the top is a nice touch.

IDEA: Students will conduct a survey on a topic they are interested in.   For example, “How many students prefer Coke over Pepsi?”   Students will create an Infographic to display their data.   Students will analyze their data to find the mean, median, mode, and standard deviation of their data and include this information in their Infographic. Blooms: -Students will analyze data and find the mean, median, mode, and standard deviation of their data. -Students will create an Infographic to display their data. Application: When I created my Infographic, I took into consideration many of the principles we learned about.   When I was creating step-by-step instruction on graphing, I made sure that I had both text and graphics presented together.   As read about in Spatial Contiguity Principle,   when graphics and text are presented nearby, it is easier for a learner to make connections.   In the video I selected, the Temporal Contiguity Princip...

Padlet Reflection

I created a Padlet that will be used to differentiate review in my classroom.   For the first part of the lesson, students will visit the standards that they have not mastered.   This gives them the opportunity to focus on areas that need improvement.   In each of these standards, the website has sample problems that students can practice.   For the second part of this lesson, students will choose one standard they have mastered and add a link to where this standard could be applied to a real life situation.   These real-life situations will help students who are struggling make a connection and will give students who have already mastered this content to think deeper about the standard they have learned.   This will be a great opportunity for me to discuss copyright rules with the students and show them what is and isn’t allowed to be shared within the Padlet.   Bloom’s Objectives: -Students will upload real life examples from a website of thei...
