#23 School Tools (1 April 2006)

Making things up, without any lesson plans, I have come up with a day saving list of things to get one through the day....

General Rules of Life  (Cribbed from a Pre School rule)

                    1. Don't hurt yourself.
                    2. Don't hurt another person.
                    3. Don't hurt the equipment.

General Rules for starting the day:

  1.  Know where you are that day. 
 What applies, what doesn't. How the schedule differs from the day before.

   2. Universal Daily Lesson Plan

Begin today with where you stopped yesterday. Proceed forward from that.

We worked on this yesterday. I gave a test in pm about points 1 and 2.

I am having the students describe in their own words what happens when we use the add sign (things increase), or--
the subtraction sign (things decreasing, getting less or smaller)
multiplication, getting larger quickly by adding groups of numbers, division, which answers the question, how many of this group (divisor), reside in that group?
        
Kids can just parrot back the math ideas, without knowing them as
concepts. Thus for them forever arthmetic is in books, not real life.


Stillness promotes acceptance of change, and learning.
