2. First Gesture Oh, Sweet Mama, I can’t WAIT to learn new gestures

3. Agenda Background Whole Brain Teaching Scale Factor – Dilation Scientific and Standard Notation Cross and Fraction Products Measures of Central Tendency Coordinate Plane Order of Operations Properties Pythagorean Theorem

4. Background Teaching 2 years – Gestures since October of 1 st year After 2 months – bored with lecture, notes and worksheets – not engaged – Classroom management problems How can I engage my students? Power Teaching – Whole Brain Teaching

5. Whole Brain Teaching Chris Biffle YouTube Combines – classroom management – microlectures www.wholebrainteaching.com

6. Cumulative Review

7. Whole Brain Teaching Class – Yes Gestures Please! Teach – Okay

8. Objective By the end of class today, I will be able to... Teach my class new gestures

9. Scale Factor – Dilation Enlargement – Scale factor is > 1 Reduction – Scale factor is < 1

10. Scientific Notation Multiplied by a power of 10 Exponent is negative – Factor is < 1 Exponent is positive – Factor is > 1 Standard Notation

11. Cross Products Proportion Problems – Label that sucker!! Multiply diagonally Equal sign in between

12. Fractions

13. Fraction Products Probability Problems Multiply straight across Multiplication sign in between

14. Measures of Central Tendency Mean – Add them up, then divide Mode - MOst Median – “MED”dle number from least to greatest

15. Coordinate Plane Quadrants Plot point – Walk to the elevator before you can go up or down

16. Independent vs Dependent Objective – Identify independent and dependent variables X-axis Y-axis _____ depends on ______

17. Order of Operations Parentheses – Groups from the inside out Exponents Multiplication/Division – From left to right like you read a book. – Multiplication Dot or an x Addition / Subtraction – From left to right like you read a book – Addition combine or put together – Subtraction Take away

18. This Property http://www.rogertaylor.com/clientuploads/documents/references/Mathsongsing-a-long.pdf

19. This Property This property, Commutative Property Tells us that we are free to Change the order of a sum Also in multiplication.

20. This Property This property Associative Property Tells us that you and me Can change the groupings When we multiply Do it when you add it’ll make you look fly

21. This Property Google “math sing-a-long” – rogertaylor.com Reciprocal Identity

22. Slope in Fraction Form

23. Graphing Lines (Jingle Bells) Graphing lines, graphing lines Slopes & intercepts Oh what fun it is to find Y’s over x’s! Graphing lines, graphing lines Slopes & intercepts Oh what fun it is to find Equations of a line!

24. Right Triangle Agenda Right Angle – Shown with a square in the angle. – Two legs make the right angle. Hypotenuse – Opposite the right angle – Is the longest side  Warm-up  Rules Rehearsal  Objective  Review  Right Triangles  Squares  Pythagorean Theorem  Examples  Models  With numbers  Class work  Review Notes  Exit Ticket Hypotenuse short leg long leg

25. Area of Square Review Agenda Area of a square – A = lw Warm-up Rules Rehearsal Objective Review Review  Right Triangles  Squares What have we learned so far? Pythagorean Theorem – Activity Examples  Models  With numbers Class work Review Notes Exit Ticket 5 A = 5*5 A = 5 2 A = 25

26. Pythagorean Theorem short leg Hypotenuse long leg Combined with The area of the square off the long leg Is the same as The area of the square off the hypotenuse The area of the square off the short leg

27. Review Scale Factor – Dilation Scientific and Standard Notation Cross and Fraction Products Measures of Central Tendency Coordinate Plane Order of Operations Properties Pythagorean Theorem

28. I said Pythagorean I said a 2 +b 2 =c 2 I said the short leg and the long leg is hypotenuse Hypotenuse is opposite the right angle Hypotenuse is the longest side When I say Pythagorean you say Theorem Pythagorean...Theorem Go Math

29. When do you use gestures? Introducing new vocabulary Cumulative Review Objective Instructions

30. How did you implement this into your class? Show a video Class-Yes Gestures for classroom rules Teach Okay

31. What kind of students does this work for? ALL students Honors Special Education ELL

32. How do you come up with the gestures? Mostly from students Other teachers www.wholebrainteaching.com

33. Problem Solving Strategies 1.Draw a diagram 2.Find a pattern 3.Work backwards 4.Use a formula 5.Solve a simpler problem 6.Use logical reasoning 7.Make a table 8.Guess and check 9.Write an equation 10.Make a graph 11.Make an organized list
