I need some help. I have had a bad day personally. I’m trying to think of a first day virtual activity. I’m 100% online. I teach 10th and 11th Algebra 2 Honors. We are using Google Meets. I thought about doing a logic puzzle after the presentation. And I’ve also thought about starting notes.

Sorry you had a bad day! What about some ‘easier’ multi-step problems that get them thinking again. Their skills might be a little rusty so what about a group friendly competition to see who can solve each problem the quickest in their groups?
This will get them thinking math again and also get their confidence up that they do remember more than they think!
Hope today is a better day!

Try a get to know the teacher Kahoot! Gane where they guess things about you. Then play 2 truths and a lie with your students. It will be fun and help you start to get to know them.

I’m doing a google jam board where every student is going to get a slide/screen to define themselves in terms of either the 1st letter of their first name or 1st letter of their last name. So if someone’s name started with B, they could add to the jam board that they are Bold, Bonkers, play Basketball, and like Blues Brothers. They need 4 things about themselves that start with their chosen letter, and they need to add a picture for each description. The idea is to become less of an unknown while also showing how verbal phrases and visual displays work together.

I usually ask them if zero is even odd or neither and then require an explanation. It usually turns into diacussion. You can give them many different Google forms or polls. If you are doing 100% online I suggest that you spend the first week just making sure everyone knows how to use all of the platforms, syllabus and reviewing exponent rules, fractions, turning radicals to expinent form, factoring. What platforms are you using?

Could really use some kind words today. We had to say goodbye to our sweet girl on Saturday. She had severe pancreatitis and just couldn't bounce back. She was so sweet and affectionate, never met a person whose lap she didn't want to sit on. Feeling a lot of guilt that we should have tried harder before making the decision to put her to sleep. Maybe she could have bounced back if we had just waited. We miss her terribly. She loved us so much and I'm just really struggling today.

How do you keep your material (notes/worksheets/quizzes/tests) organized? I have a hanging folder system now, but currently irritated with it. Like binders, hate 3-hole punches- love ‘clean’ paper 🥳

With kids returning physically back to school, are you planning on having students work in groups or more of individual learning? Will there be team work in your classes this year?
