Alg 2 Ss getting peer feedback on their desmos art pieces. All while working with function transformations, and piecewise functions. Day 34/180

Day 62/180: Geometry students creating triangles with very specific criteria-“This isn’t as easy as I thought it’d be”-so we can discover congruency theorems tomorrow.

It’s been a long week, but I’m ready for you 2019-2020.

Algebra 2 students bringing me some laughs as I put in tests grades.

First group of the day to finish the quadratic equation review. Ready to rock our test tomorrow, right?

We’re on fire today in Alg 2 Honors!

Student athletes are awesome. #fpc #seniornight

Another in a long line of eloquent arguments against students rushing to (and through) Calculus in high school. How do we make this argument to our parents? forbes.com/sites/johnewin…

Good stuff in this article. Read it with an open mind, colleagues. I’d love to be part of a dialogue about standard based grading in our district.
