travismoore re: QUADRATIC FUNCTIONS ALG 2 Lesson 1: Quadratic Functions and Transformations
I do not have a smart board, however I can download the smart notebook software. Do I have to have a smart board to use the lesson?

Jean Adams  (TpT Seller)
no, you can teach the lesson by just placing the Foldable under a document camera. I use a wireless slate and the smart notebook software. This way I can use the lesson repeatedly and write on the smart lesson fresh each class. I believe there are other ways that smart software can display. possibly with an iPad and splashtop software. you might ask a tech person in your school.

Julie Larsen re: ALG 2 UNIT: Sequences and Series FOLDABLES ONLY
The quality of the notes is great. My big question is...how do I tell which is page 1, 2, 3, etc. It seems essential in order to copy the pages correctly to make the foldable. I can figure some out based on the example numbers, however, is the Arithmetic Sequences with the vocab page 1, 2, etc. What page number is the Arithmetic sequences with the formulas?

Thanks!

The foldable was created in order. If your printer copies on two sides, you can choose to flip them on the short side and they copy double sided in the correct order. The vocabulary is always the first or front page and the side with the blank sheet on the third page of the document will be the last sheet or page 8 on the foldable. My students glue this blank page into their composition books to save them in order of their textbook lessons. In this particular lesson, the formulas appear on the 5th page of the foldable. If you need more assistance, you can email me at jean@j-adams.com

Amy Cawood  (TpT Seller) re: Systems of Equations with M & M's
You might think this is a crazy question, but I am trying to figure out something. On problem B, which has 2Z + B = ____, if you only have say 6 brown or Z M&M's, how are you showing the 2 times Z with the M&M's? My husband and myself are both math teachers and we are trying to use this lesson as a dynamic lesson in an 8th grade math classroom. We love the idea. Thank you! my email is acawood@roaneschools.com or avols845@hotmail.com

Amy, If I understand your question correctly, I think you mean since Z=Brown M&M's and B=Blue M&M's if you have 6 brown the question in the B prompt has two equations 2Z + B = ___ and Z-B = ____.
Students would write 2Z + B = 6 and Z-B=6.
Now, say that the students bag had only 3 blue M&M's, and had 6 brown M&M's. Their system would now read2Z+B=9 and Z-B=3. When students use substitution method or elimination method, they will get Z=6 and B=3 for the answer if their algebra is correct. Hope this helps.

My colleague and I bought this unit but we are having a hard time with the foldables. I've created this type of booklet before. I tried to create yours several times but the pages are all out of order. The question I have is about the copies. Is there a certain way these need to be copied?
February 8, 2013 Report inappropriate comment
n/a
Jean Adams  (TpT Seller)
Yes, the copies should be double sided. If you have a printer that prints on both sides of the paper, you can choose to flip the paper on the short side to create the proper order. If you print the four pages single-sided and us a copy machine, orient the pages so that page 1 and page 3 are up and pages 2 and 4 are down. I will send you a snapshot personally, if you will send me your email address. I'm sorry you are having difficulty.

Ms. Jean Adams:

Hello. My name is Bonnie Rose Hudson, and I am an editorial assistant with SchoolhouseTeachers.com, a division of The Old Schoolhouse Magazine. Part of my job is to find potential teachers for our site who can meet the various needs of our students and their families.

I am writing to you today to ask if you would consider becoming a part of our team. We are looking for a teacher who could teach pre-calculus and calculus. I read about you and your background on Teachers Pay Teachers, and I believe you could be a great fit for our site.

Joining the team of teachers on SchoolhouseTeachers.com offers your business valuable exposure to a customer base of just under 8,500 members, as well as a chance to help serve the homeschooling community.

We are in the process of lining up teachers to join the site at varying times throughout 2013. We bring on a limited number of teachers each month in order to give each one maximum exposure in the advertising blasts that we release.

There are various ways you could be involved with our site. Below is an overview of the history of our site. We welcome you to consider this invitation and the benefits it would bring to your business. We’d love to hear from you, and if you would like to proceed, please contact Bob Irvin, our executive editor, and myself with your thoughts and questions.

Bob Irvin personally reviews each application by prospective teachers, and yet we are also working in a team environment to determine who will best fit which roles. We are continuing to work through the applications to bring on the teachers who will best fill our needs. He can be reached at birvin@thehomeschoolmagazine.com.

We launched the members-only program March 1, 2012, with seven expert Teachers from around the nation—and have now grown that figure to 28 teachers from around the world! On the first day of each month, we roll out additional features, content, and courses. Each Teacher provides a new lesson each month (www.schoolhouseteachers.com).

The goal of this new forum and gathering place is to provide materials for homeschool families from the best teachers across the globe. We are growing the number of Teachers on the site at a steady pace and filling the holes in our academic subject offerings in a systematic way.

We have just under 8,500 registered users and are continuing to grow, so this is exciting. Being a Teacher on our site provides each expert with valuable publicity. Among our Teachers are Diana Waring, Kim Kautzer, Terri Johnson, and filmmaker George Escobar.

Becoming a part of the SchoolhouseTeachers.com team provides you the opportunity to join with one of the most prominent names in the homeschool marketplace. We will actively promote you and your course through eBlasts, social media, and the site itself.

If you would like a free three-month membership to SchoolhouseTeachers.com to get a better feel for the site and how our Teachers deliver their lessons, we’re happy to provide that to you. Just let Bob know, and he will have our executive assistant manager provide you with that membership!

I look forward to hearing from you! Thank you!

Sincerely,

Bonnie Rose Hudson
Editorial Assistant

Jean Adams  (TpT Seller)
That's a good question. I use Smart Notebook 11 software to write my lessons for display. They are shared with my students through a projector but I use an wireless slate in order to teach the lessons "Live" to my students. The smart file that I sell is a blank document. You need to have the ability to work the problems on some wireless writing tablet. There are many that are compatible with Smart Technology products. I don't believe just a projector will work for this product. You can purchase the foldables only for this unit and write on that document under your document camera to display through the projector. If this is confusing, ask an "IT" person at your school. Unless you have a wireless tablet it would waste your money.
Thanks,
Jean Adams

Hi Chris,
Thanks for the vote on my clean writing style. Yes, I do sell the whole Quadratics Unit as a set. You can purchase the Foldables only at http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/ALG-2-UNIT-QUADRATIC-FUNCTIONS-and-EQUATIONS-FOLDABLES-ONLY, or Smart Notes only, as well.

My students buy a small composition book at the beginning of the school year. The last page of each Foldable is blank so they apply glue and glue them into their book each day. I have some students who work their homework after each lesson in the composition book. They use two books each year in that case. Then, I have some students who store their lessons in a Gallon-Sized Zip-Lock Bag. I really see "ownership" in what they do by the way they protect each document and never want me to skip any example.

Yes Amy, Actually my students had a difficult time with this idea last year. They forgot to check the endpoints, so we went back to the notes, revisited the procedure, thought about a few "What if" situations, and I just left that in the presentation to give a little extra while we talked and taught the lesson. So it is intentional.

The notebook extension is a SmartNotebook 11 document. You can open with a Smart Notebook 11 software, and I believe it is compatible with Prometheus products also. I personally use my presentation files only with the Smart Airliner Wireless slate.

No, I don't. I have a Smart Airliner Wireless Slate. It costs about $200 and allows me to walk around my room. I actually had an older model of SmartBoard and gave it up when the Wireless slate came out about 3 years ago. I love it. I'm no longer tied to the front of the classroom. Even my students can write on the slate from their seats. The software SMART NOTEBOOK 11 is a separate item, I write the lessons with that software and use the slate to teach the lesson.
