We hope you all enjoyed the first weekend in February. This past weekend was full of mathematics to bring into the classroom in discussions about Groundhog Day or the Superbowl! In addition, we received the February issues of our NCTM journals and are excited for what's included in those as well.
Last Thursday, I participated in a class on Ratio, Rate and Proportion being held in one of our partner districts. During this class we had a really lively discussion about the relationship between fractions and ratios. Are ratios fractions? Are fractions ratios? What is the difference? How can we denote them differently?
This morning, I was speaking with Anne about the class, and it reminded
her of a presentation she did at the MassMATE conference in 2012. Please find a link to it below. It will link to a Scribd site and open in a new window.
Effective Implementation of the Standards Power Point
There are some really good problems within the presentation, so I hope you enjoy it!
