1. Flipping for Problem Solving Mondays and No Homework Weekends Robyn Poulsen T 3 Regional Instructor NYS Master Teacher Fellow 9-12 Math Teacher ~ Lake Placid, NY

2. Problem Solving Mondays Traditionally students are not good problem solvers. Good at “plug and chug” problems, but not thinking. Use a variety of resources to find problems for students to solve. Not necessarily related to current content.

3. No Homework Weekends/Holidays We ALL need more family time. “The Race to Nowhere” My own children

4. Flipped Classroom Outside of class (Monday – Thursday): *Students watch a brief video I make them all. (Camtasia Studio) Contains nuts & bolts of lesson *Students answer a few (1-3) related questions on Math XL.

5. Flipped Classroom In Class (Tuesday – Friday): Students log in to nSpire Navigator System and complete Warm Up exercises. Students work through problems and/or activities related to the video lesson at their own pace. I speak to every student individually every day. I can answer a variety of individual questions. Whole-group re-instruction as needed.

6. Example Problems Quadratic Functions and Stopping Distance:  Go to http://www.stoppingdistances.org.uk/ and Try the Simulator.http://www.stoppingdistances.org.uk/  Jot down stopping distances for varying speeds and conditions. Which condition seems to result in the worst outcome? Why?  Complete TI’s Quadratic Functions and Stopping Distance activity Is Speeding Worth It? Bucky the Badger Stick Figures

7. Leveled Instruction MUST DO  ALL students must do all of these problems.  Problems are basic ~ bare minimum to be successful in class/on state assessment in June.  Maximum test score = 85 SHOULD TRY  Problems are a bit tougher  Maximum test score = 100 COULD DO  Really tough questions. “Bonus”  Maximum test score = 105-110.
