Representing Stories Graphically
The Geometer's Sketchpad can do so much more than build polygons! Use this sketch to help your 7th graders build their connections between graphic representations and real-world situations.
This sketch, while excellent for demonstration purposes, is ideally put into the hands of students so they can manipulate the variables and see how their actions impact the graph and the action.

57 Degrees and Climbing
It's my blog and I'll ride if I want to!
Absolutely spectacular day here in the Sandhills. After only 35 kicks or so (and no hyper-extended knee this time, whew!) I was able to take the Pi Project around the block. This meant, of course, slipping in and out of the ice floes and ponds still found on most streets and every intersection.
But hey - it was a ride!
After rebuilding the engine last Fall, I'm still anxious to get it out on the highway and open it up.

Looking at the Skills of Speaking and Listening In First Grade
Some years ago, Ms. Ogonoski's first graders were struggling with the skills of listening to and speaking with one another. Ms. Ogonoski devised a rather clever lesson in which she and her class negotiated a rubric, practiced it, and then used it to assess their listening and speaking skills throughout the day.
Despite this being an experience set in a first grade classroom, I can think of no reason that this wouldn't be an important process at any grade level.
We made this video to document their experience with a very real and practical performance assessment. I hope you enjoy this one from the vault!
