Interactive Activity Worksheet, "Think outside the box" Type of Problems

Created by
Mistah Seaver
I used this worksheet near the beginning of the school-year as sort of an ice-breaker to get to know students and their level of intrigue with problem solving, as well as their confidence in seeking and providing help to classmates. As to not discourage the students, but I distributed the worksheet with a heavy emphasis that not every problem on it may be solvable or solved in just one way, but I was interested to see them work individually, in pairs, or small groups. While the questions may not

Students will interact with a famous piece of art (Mona Lisa) by way of mathematics. Using scale factor, students will investigate the changes made to the painting by dilating to make the piece larger and smaller. Also, students will notice the scale factor's connections to the paintings area and perimeter after a dilation. Threw in some review of other types of transformations at the end as well.

Experience

I was a classroom teacher for 15-years at a Middle School in downtown Boulder, CO. I taught 6th, 7th, and 8th graders pre-algebra and algebra courses. The school was represented by a diverse population of students/families that was openly welcomed in my classroom where learners from all backgrounds were encouraged and supported throughout their learning experience.

Teaching style

I regularly used various forms of instructions with my students to provide them with consistency and predictability. Some of those methods included direct instruction, assigned/random group work activities, centers, investigative practices, question development, student-led research and instruction, big concept projects, etc. My teaching style/practices/methods were adapted to representing the math concepts in the best ways possible to increase student engagement and understanding.

My own education history

I attended the University of Colorado, Boulder from 2001-2005, where I earned a BA in Mathematics and a Secondary Education endorsement. In 2010, while still a classroom teacher, I started my Master's degree. In 2013, I received my MA in Education Equity from the University of Colorado, Boulder.

Additional biographical information

While I was a classroom teacher (2005-2020), I was also the athletic coach & referee for various sports (soccer, track & field, flag football, volleyball, basketball, wrestling) throughout the same years I was teaching.
