EPSILON-DELTA

I am trying to think of everything and anything that might be helpful for my friend taking over for me during maternity leave (any day now!)...

One of the most important lessons I learned about teaching I learned as a graduate student working in the Math Lab at my university as a tut...

I stole this idea entirely from the teacher who taught APSI last summer.  I was intrigued by it, so I implemented it in my PreCalc classes t...

Last week, Sam shared two organizational things he does that help keep his classroom running smoothly.  I love reading things like this fro...

I'm always trying to fine-tune review activities.  I used to be really into review games.  I would spend hours creating games that we...

I taught a five-day summer camp last week to prepare our incoming juniors and sophomores for the PSAT/NMSQT.  One of the greatest things...

I love PreCalculus.  I love that I get to pique kids' interest of calculus (the world's greatest subject).  I love that I get to te...

This is my first year teaching calculus through the AP curriculum, and I love, love, love, LOVE it.  It's such a great mix of pure and a...

I really resonated with Sam's most recent post about building time and space into curriculum to let students play with math. Mathematic...

As I was looking ahead in my unit of exponentials and logs in Algebra II, I opened up a lesson plan whose first page read, "Note to sel...

In Algebra II, I tried a different kind of review as we were preparing for final.  It worked well, so I thought I'd share: Type up/se...

Disclaimer--this unit is fast and very calculator-heavy.  It would need a good deal of reconstruction for an Advanced Algebra II course.  Ne...

We're starting rational functions next week in Algebra II, but I knew my kids weren't super strong with asymptotes yet.  Truth be to...

I guess I've been kinda into flow charts this year; I created another one for solving exponential and log equations.  The idea is that k...

I had been meaning to get help on this activity a while back, so Fail Friday seems to be the perfect opportunity for this. Anyway...someh...

I just finished conic sections with my Algebra II kids.  I used the Conic Cards, created by the wonderful Cindy Johnson (@Johnsonmath), wit...

I was at a car parts store the other day, and I saw a sun shade for your windshield that advertised this: I had to double-take. ...

I love composing functions.  I always have.  It's one of the topics in algebra I get most excited about.  I don't really know why.  ...

This is something I did in the very beginning of the year that I meant to blog about and just never did. At our school, students are...

I felt like my students were not yet ready to test on quadratics again (all methods of solving), so on Friday we took a day to recap what th...
