Math Important Book Blog

in an effort to keep this blog foldable-centered, i have created a blog to feature The Math Important Book project.  Please feel free to check in on that from time to time as well!

altered book--The Math Important Book

I was lucky enough to score a discarded book in our school library at the beginning of the school year and it is serving as the base for my "altered" version of The Math Important Book.  I have gotten very few pages done because I am trying to keep up with the journal version I am doing with the kids in my advanced classes this year.  I plan to develop this one on my own time and maybe set a goal to finish it over the summer.

I love the book i found because it has a 'nerd' theme and have some amazing geek quotes at the top of each page which allows me to pick and choose the best place for each topic/concept.

{for instance}

 

{"I'm not anti-social, I'm just not user-friendly"  Thought that was perfect for any irrational number, but especially pi--it seems to be one of the most popular irrational number even among the not-so-mathy folk}

estimating with decimals

This is something we added to our Math Important Book, but it's a modified foldable, so I thought it was appropriate to post here.

{inside--i'm sorry i have tried about 30 times to get this right-side-up and i can't get it}

foldable makes debut in The Math Important Book

I'm in the process of trying to figure out how the implementation of my Math Important Book is going to pan out for next year.

During this I realize I needede an importnat statement about FOLDABLES!  It took me about negative 2 seconds to come up with the statement because i'm OBSESSED with foldables. 

I hope I go down as two things this coming school year:

The Foldable Master and The Math Important Book Genius (hehe)

Tiffany and I decided yesterday in our 1st of many summer planning sessions that the first foldable the kids make will be this one that they will put in their Math Important Book....what a marriage!  ugh....it's almost as good as brownies and birthday cake at the same sitting!

Check out the new pages!

I really, really, really have been trying to NOT post anything other than foldable information on this blog, but I feel like the other things that I do in class have significance and are closely related to the foldables that I do.  I couldn't hold back anymore...I decided to add a few 'pages' to this blog that feature other things that I do in class that relate to foldables but are not necessarily directly related.  Check them out if you have the time...
