[Math HelperKeymaster]

The internet can be a powerful ally when you are trying to figure out how to solve a problem. The Handy Helpers link takes you to a page with links to videos, math sites, PowerPoints, cheat sheets and other materials that explain the topics covered in the lessons.

HANDY HELPERS

For this Forum, you must do at least one post from the following three options.

1. Pick one of the Handy Helpers from Weeks 1 and 2 that no one has reported on, click on Start a New Conversation, and make the subject the name of the link (for example: YouTube PatrickJMT: Finding the Slope of a Line). Then give us a review of the “helper” in at least 150 words. Include what you like or don’t like about it and why you think it may be helpful to others. The site that you review must be on the Handy Helpers list!
2. Identify a topic from the Lesson that could use some additional instruction. Remember that different learning styles benefit from different types of presentations! I will try to follow up on these and add resources.
3. Respond to a classmate with a comment about their post or a helpful suggestion.

Then, feel free to “mix and match” your posts and comments for the remaining two posts. You could suggest one topic that needs work and respond to one classmate or write a review and respond to one classmate or … ):

You will receive 6 points for your first post and 2 points each for your other two.

The goal is for us to collectively develop a comprehensive library of materials to help students become more comfortable with these algebraic concepts.

 

Initial Post Due: Thursday, by 11:55 p.m., ET
Second and Third Posts Due: Sunday, by 11:55 p.m., ET

Please sign ALL your Forum posts with the name that you like to be called – it makes it so much easier for the rest of us to address you by your preferred name when we respond.
