Welcome to Mrs. Adams' 8th Grade Math Class!

Welcome to Middle School Math! I'm sure many of us groan at the memories of our math experiences. My goal is to help make math exciting and approachable for all students. I hope you enjoy seeing all the neat things we do in my math class.

April 11 I'm Ready!

It's been a little bit over a week and things are starting to settle into a new normal.  I spent the time doing some house projects, which were a much needed distraction!  Now I'm ready to go with my students.

My district delayed starting distance learning because they wanted a strong plan in place and they had to attend to the technology needs of a huge chunk of our population.  While the delay has been a little bit frustrating from my parent perspective, I get it and just try to remind myself "It doesn't really matter."

So, this last week I spent my time developing videos and lessons for my students to work on.  The great news is, my students are used to doing things online both from my class and other classes at school!  I use the Flipped Classroom model frequently and so my students are already used to learning in this way, hallelujah!

I'm super excited to see how this next week unfolds and while I think I've put together a good week of learning, I hope to find some new and different ways to continue to engage them.

Resources for this week:  YouTube, Deltamath, Socrative, Canvas, TI-Nspire software

Wish me luck!
