Want to create a student-led learning environment? Give your students the opportunity to practice their graphing skills as well as their ability to come to conclusions with this activity. In this activity, students graph linear functions and use their equations to discover the relationships between the slopes of parallel and perpendicular lines ALL ON THEIR OWN!

Area of a Triangle using Sine
This standard is a tough one to cover, so I built this activity to help lead my students through it. I split up the class into groups of threes and have them work through it at a whiteboard. I roam the room and listen to their discussions and try to help only if there is no activity within the group. If you are interested in a thinking classroom, this is an easy one to try.

Experience

Teaching style
In my classroom, I take a constructivist approach allowing my students to facilitate the learning. My job is to create the activities to keep them topical and guide them along a path of success. I am a staunch practitioner of a thinking classroom where my students spend the majority of the time collaborating around the solution of a problem up at the boards around my classroom. To outsiders, if might be chaos. We just call it learning.
