Dive into Teaching

When I was hired as a Geometry teacher I dreaded teaching proofs. I remembered struggling with them when I was in high school. They made me cringe and it seemed as though there was no possible way to teach proofs without receiving that same reaction from my students. With UNO proof, those feelings changed. I have never seen such excitement during a lesson on proofs. I have used this lesson in multiple schools and the reaction is always the same. They LOVE it! Their understanding of proo

This city design project is a way to assess student’s understanding of angle pairs formed by intersecting lines and transversals through parallel lines. Students can showcase creativity while placing buildings in the designated locations. There are enough streets (lines) that students city designs will vary and you will be able to identify any copying/cheating. Directions and rubric are included. No prep. Just assign the google slides. Slides can be edited to meet the needs of your students. Thi

Put up the presentation and have students write the answers on a whiteboard or dry erase sleeve at their desk. You can quickly circulate the room or have students hold up their boards to formatively assess and reteach as necessary. This can easily be adapted into a game or or other review style activity.

I use this seat request form at the beginning of the year. It gives the students the opportunity to let me know where they would like to sit and with whom. Throughout the year as I make seating charts, I refer back to these requests and am able to remember who needs to sit near the front. I am also able to assure that they are often placed nearby a friend who can make them feel more comfortable in class. It makes the difficult task of creating seating charts a little bit easier. These can be c

This is an alternative to the amazing "Dance, Dance, Transversal" available from other sellers. In a small classroom with over 40 students, it is difficult to make space for each student to dance their way into a knowledge of the angle pairs formed by parallel lines and transversals. So I make them dance with their hands instead of their feet. Each student receives a copy of this and you project the "Dance, Dance, Transversal video of your choice. I usually have the students in groups of 5. Four

This template was created for differentiated and tiered learning. It is designed for math assignments but could be tailored to other subjects. My assignments are worth 10 points. A student can earn those 10 points using whatever combination of problems they would like. Each correctly solved question from Level 1 is worth 1 point. Each correctly solved question from Level 2 is worth 2 points. And each correctly solved question from Level 3 is worth 3 points. Each assignment has six Level 1 ques

This slideshow covers five historical figures to study with your class. This resource is meant to be a jumping off point for you and students to learn some facts about each person before doing further research. The slide show also has activities for students to work on relating to each person. This slide show is probably best for K-3 but any teacher can use it to learn, get ideas, etc.

An editable blank BINGO board with directions for students. This activity helps students to build a sense of community, get to know each other, and identify commonalities with their peers.

For example: "I am the middle child in my family." or "I speak two languages." Once everyone's board is filled, we wi
