I have taught hs math for 23 years. I want to start implementing projects, games, collaborative lessons etc. How do I go about that while teaching required standards? Does anybody have any references to share with me to look for activities over Algebra 1 material?

Can you share with me too? I have been teaching for 25 years in private and now transitioned to public and we are using envision and I want to Change things up!

We begin with a posted Target aligned with a standard. S read the problem & take a minute to think about solving. We use playing cards passed out for random groups. Groups move to vertical work spaces to solve T walks to group’s & questions or observes. 10 min. During this note points to bring out. Then T uses S work to model or question students to standard. Variations… partners or groups at desks same process. Take pics & finish as b4 with google sludes

That does not sound fun at all. Linking a game to a standard = buzzkill. But, I can see your state and district mandating you do that for sure. Luckily my district went away years ago from that standard crap. Kids don't care, and admin just want to see it on the board. I bet you could put up a phony standard and leave it up all year.

I created a Jeopardy-like game for test review. I split the class into two teams and they were allowed to work together for each question. One member picked a category and point value and that person had to be the one to give the final answer. They had white boards to work out the problem and give their answer. The first team to give the correct answer earned the points. This was for my first period class and I needed a way to get them to wake up and participate. I shamlessly bribed them with donuts for the winner. 😁🍩
I was very proud of my categories....they were very pun-y. I had "Factor-y Jobs" for factoring quadratic expressions, "Assembly Line" for changing from factored to expanded form, and "It's Hip To Be A Square" for recognizing perfect squares. The kids really enjoyed it and actually did better on that test than any other.

I posted this somewhere else before I remembered that I am in this bowl :) so, I changed jobs 6-7 months ago and I am realizing it is not a good fit. Leadership seem to not want to hear the truth so people tell them what they want to hear and if you don’t middle management gets pissed at you. I am seriously thinking about looking somewhere else. My question is how do you answer the “why are you looking to leave” question without bad mouthing your current company?

I’m teaching summer school at a high school, and the co-principals have asked me to focus on only 2 to 3 chapters worth (what they are calling “2-3 standards” in the eight days of summer semesters. However, they are also asking me to give kids the midterm and/or final at the end of each period, which covers 4-5 chapters each semester. My question is this: “Is it legal by California Ed code for the administration to ask me to teach less than each entire semester, yet test each whole semester?”

However, I would like to do it without having to create something in advance. I hope this doesn't sound confusing.
