The Metric System

The metric system is not probably a difficult concept but we tend to do it really boring. Why don't we make a connection with real life situations? A nice project should be to find three pictures of objects of different dimensions and put them in order in the classroom.

You can take some of this pictures from the website:

Students love to make connections and touch things!!!!

Make your class a microscope or a telescope!!!

Are you ready to start?

It is the beginning of the school year and we are all excited about what we are going to do, how our students are going to react... But we don't have to forget motivation, specially at the beginning of the year. We need to tell our students that they are allowed to fail, to make a mistake... Actually it is the only way to learn. You should tell them that their future is not written, that they can be good at math, they can develop their brains!!!!
You can use that video to do that:

Have a wonderful school year!!!! Enjoy learning!!!!!

the quadratic formula

We all know… the quadratic formula is hard to memorize.

But there is a tale that can help you to memorize it:

"Once upon a time… a negative (-)  boy who couldn't decide (+ -) whether to go to a radical party. The boy was squared so he missed out (-) on 4 awesome chicks. The party was over at 2 a.m."

Try that with your students… and also have a look to this funny video:
