Teaching rational numbers to 6th graders can be a challenge, especially if you’re new to the classroom. Students enter the
So, I recently had the pleasure of speaking at the NCAMS Winter Luncheon about issues with Common Core Algebra II. I shared work that I had been doing and, of course, had the ubiquitous Power Point presentation as well as other resources.
I promised the great Long Island teachers who were attending that I’d put up a post with many of the materials that I showed them. So, here it is. I’m going to try my best to remember all of the requests I had for shared materials.
NCAMS Winter Luncheon Power Point
Link to Statistical Simulators and GAISE Report
Link to Topics Not Tested on CC Alg II Regents

Unit Circle and the Sine Function
General Unit Circle with Inscribed Right Triangle
The Standard Form of a Parabola with Focus and Directrix
These last three are what I call “Fitting Games.” They are images of graphs you can give kids to try to fit them by experimentation. I’ll be coming out with many more of these because I think they are a great way to get kids to think about what equation models a graph using trial and error.
