Also record whether the task involved memorization, calculations w/o connections, calculations with connections or worthwhile mathematical task. Finally modify all problems if necessary to become worthwhile tasks. This will count the equivalent of an inclass quiz.

Whole Class Lesson Plan

Nov. 13
I have to go to Oak Ridge for a teacher workshop, so I will not be in class on Thursday, Nov. 13. We didn't finish our discussion of the Kamii and Whitenack articles, so I would like for you to make the lists that we would going to do at the end of class last Thursday. I will count these as a Quiz 7 to make up missed points on old quizzes or as extra credit. You can do them as a group or individually. List at least 3 pros and cons for 1) teaching algorithms, 2) touch math and 3) children generated algorithms. Put them in my mailbox by next Monday, Nov. 17. I will check livetext for your lesson plans and provide feedback asap. Currently, there are only 10 shared with me, "wilsona".

Good Luck next week!
