#CHICKEN MATH MEMES SERIES#
The most recent book in the series (by Lisa Nowakowski and Jeremiah Ruesch) focuses exclusively on using the shells in the math classroom, and the authors offered a different take on Iron Chef.
I’m seeing an opportunity later this week though. In this crazy year I’ve not given EduProtocols the workout they have got in past years. Also: Miracles of modern technology, baby. Most of us put our e-day assignments into a GForm so I helped her set up her response so students could save their memes to their chromebooks and do a file upload to turn it in. Willing to take my chances on a giant elevated bridge instead of navigating that mess again. A white-knuckle ride all the way to the Ryan. #WrestlingDad #AEWDynamite #GroundhogDayBlizzard /SiV3k6aX7V- Stephen Dull FebruIt seemed like IDOT basically skipped all the South Side expressways. Drive in probably took five years off my life, but the seats are worth it.
My youngest and I had tickets for an AEW show in Chicago that night so I ended up answering her questions from the floor of the Wintrust Arena.ĪE Dub baby. We had a huge two-day snowstorm this week so had a couple of e-learning days. Cruz’s students were killin’ it.Īdded bonus fun: one of my colleagues saw me posting about it and texted me asking for a hand getting the meme part of the activity set up for her kids.
I felt like telling my kids they needed to up their game a little bit because Ms. Proof that great minds think alike, unbeknownst to me another teacher in the building (a former student of mine!) had her class make memes the week earlier, and got some really fabulous stuff from her kids. When you have your kids make math memes as part of your second semester “Welcome Back” activity, you got to make them into a bulletin board, right? #CreativeMathKids #teacherlife /U1JF2pOFOB- Stephen Dull JanuAnd yeah, I totally bumped that “Draw 25” over about 4 inches to the left after I took this photo so the large items somewhat resemble the line y=x.
#CHICKEN MATH MEMES FREE#
But they were free to pick any template and do whatever they wanted with it (school appropriate obvi). In the presenter notes for the slide I gave them a link to memegenerator, and suggested they use one of five templates (because old people love dead memes – Shouting Woman vs Cat, Change My Mind, Evil Kermit, All The Things, Surprised Pikachu). Yeah, some kids just searched for existing memes but the majority built their own. They did a great job of breaking down the basics, both as an intro for the new kids and as a reminder for themselves, and outdid themselves with the memes. I wanted to have a little fun, but I also wanted new-to-me students or my more creative-minded students to have an outlet. Could be something funny that happened in class, or an a-ha moment, or just a wry commentary on the subject, the teacher, or school in general.
#CHICKEN MATH MEMES HOW TO#
Grabbed an Iron Chef template from the EduProtocols website, made three of the slides for “how we do things” (what’s the daily agenda, what do quizzes look like, how to get a good grade in here) and the fourth slide was a kid-created meme “about the first semester of math”. What to do? Well who knows the class better than the kids who have been with me for four months? And who has more cred with kids than other kids? So I hatched a plot. So we are a little more “traditional” in our lesson design these days (sorry about that).Īnd I didn’t want to tell my students we do it one way when we really do it another.
I printed out a new set of course expectations, took a quick glance and thought, “Oh, that’s really not how we do things in here anymore at all.” Leading in to the year I had planned to block out multiple periods of time within our 80-minute class periods for blended learning, and I quickly realized early on that the system I had put together was not meeting my students’ needs. So clearly it was worth taking a day to review expectations and procedures. Add in two weeks of winter break, a week of remote due to an Omicron surge in our area then a week of finals and a student four-day weekend, and it had been literally a month since we had a class period that followed our usual agenda. Two of my classes came back to me pretty much intact but the other five had significant turnover. It’s a common practice in my district that rosters get shuffled at the semester.
