Pedagogy

=Lesson Goals (specifically for Math)= What should students walk away from a math lesson being able to describe? What are some questions I need to keep in mind to make a math lesson accessible to all the students within a class? = = =Personalizing Lessons= From TRIBES Textbook
 * Explaining WHY (do we do this)?
 * Answer the question: So what?
 * Include applications to real life
 * Students investigate the relationships, before learning theory
 * Teach students not to learn the formula/theory, but instead how they can get there on their own
 * Keeping in mind what prior knowledge students may have
 * Energizers**

Review / Something learned today Stop/Start/Continue
 * Bell Work / Ticket out of Class**

Quiet Reading (own book or various magazines from teacher) Brain Teasers
 * Activities to Engage Students**

closed eyes / raise hands clickers
 * Accountability**

=Transitions= Turn the Lights Off "Quiet in 5-4-3-2-1" "If you can hear me clap once..." (students clap) "If you can hear me clap twice..." (students clap twice) - repeat until you have the whole class' attention "All eyes on me" Turn over Rain Stick Ring a Bell Ask: Are you done? (thumbs up/thumbs down) "Shhhhhh" "Grade __"
 * Student Attention**

Hand out cards. Students will not know whether i will group by suits, colours, or numbers. Once all are handed out, inform the class. can draw various symbols/numbers/letters onto each stick. hand them out as with cards, not telling students which one is the deciding group until they're handed out. have students number off to a maximum number (depending on desired size) to create groups (all 1s get together, all 2s go together, etc) group students by commonalities such as birthday, height. organize groups from one extreme to another, and then count off have students play in pairs, and separate into winners and losers. repeat the process as often as necessary to get to desired group size. depends on age, maturity of students, and the type of activity
 * Creating Groups**
 * use cards**
 * popsicle sticks**
 * count off around the room**
 * date of birthday**
 * rock-paper-scissors**
 * have students choose own groups**
