Let's learn the Periodic Table

Here it is the nice video and song that my students have created to remember the first 10 elements of the periodic table!!!

Why don't we exercise our minds?

How many of you think you are not good at math?

Have you ever thought that you are not born intelligent enough to understand maths or science?

That's so FALSE!!!!

However they have made you feel in that way and you have given up on trying and you have become bad at maths!!!!

But you are still in time. Let's give another chance and you will see how your brain grows!!!!

It is about time to show the world that you are AWESOME and INTELLIGENT !!!!

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:

What do you think of this lesson?

Use your mind...

Don't be ashamed. There is nothing forbidden in maths. You can use your fingers, draw in a piece of paper, use algebra tiles, cooperative learning… whatever you need!!! But most important, ALWAYS use your mind!!!
