Scaffolded Math's Favorite Things


Thanks for stopping by! Through my work at TpT I have met some really great math educators who I am happy to now call friends. We got together this holiday season to bring you a blog hop and giveaway of our favorite math things (kind of like Oprah, only more mathy). 

This giveaway is for a $25 TpT gift card and a copy of the amazing book Mathematical Mindsets. Giveaway details below:)


Giveaway closed! Winner notified in comments and via email!

Thank you to all who entered. I hope you have your most restful winter break yet! :)


1: My favorite holiday activity
I love making salt dough ornaments. Squishing the dough is so relaxing - even better than play dough - and the dried ornaments last forever.



Here is a salt dough dog my mom made when I was a little girl. Now it hangs on our Christmas tree. 



And here is a salt dough ornament of our daughter's footprint. The recipe for the dough is simple:

What you need:

2 cups salt (I use sea salt without iodine, but I'm not sure it matters)
4 cups flour
1.5 cups of warm water
water based paint
ribbon

What you do:

Mix together to combine. When the shapes are dry, you can paint them however you'd like. My daughter and I use her washable poster paints.


2: My favorite math activity
This project was one of my favorite projects to do when I taught Algebra because it incorporates so many skills. The project can also easily be adapted to much younger kids.


What you need:
Paper cups (1 per student or small group)
a thumbtack (to pop drainage holes in cup)
A tray to hold the cups
Potting soil
Grass seeds
Graph paper
Rulers

What you do:
Plot the growth of grass seeds over the course of a month. Use the scatter plot to learn about data collection, interpolation, extrapolation, slope, writing linear equations and even piecewise functions. Younger students can focus on the data collection and what it takes to keep a plant alive (older students benefit from this too). You can read more about this project in this post


3: My favorite teacher tool
I am thankful my "Dude, you're an adult and a professional, it's time to start reading again," self talk kept the densely heavy book in my hand and not quickly shoved back into the bookshelf. 


To say this book changed me is an understatement. I hung on every word. It's the best kind of dense. And I want to share it with you.

  1. I have an old Reader's Digest book from Goodwill that was a collection of fairy tales and I absolutely adore that book.

    1. My daughter has opened me up to the world of fiction and fairy tales. Before she was born, I was all about nonfiction. Fairy tales are so fun. I especially like being able to point to a fairy tale as a way to explain something. Like, “Beast was a beast because he only cared about appearances.” So priceless when raising a kid! Thank you for you lr entry! Best of luck!

    1. Being a working parent is SO HARD. I’ve given this a lot of thought. It’s so hard because we’re really the first generation where mothers are overwhelmingly expected to work, and with that everything is priced for 2+ household incomes. It’s really, really hard. I will look into this book because the guilt of not doing my best is often crushing. Thank you so much for your comment and entry. Best of luck in all you do! And... you are enough (and awesome!)!

  64. I work with high school math intervention students. They have frequently heard me say that I really like math but they are always shocked when reading comes up and they discover that I also really like reading books - how can I say that about two of their least favorite things?! I like youth fiction - they are often great stories without all the "adult" content. I plow through entire series on the weekends sometimes and have read so many that it is is nearly impossible to name one favorite, so I will just pick from my most recent reading binges and say "The Ranger's Apprentice" series.

  65. My favorite book is the Bible, but my favorite book on algebra is one from 2010 called Algebra Unplugged! I like it because it tries to present algebra in a light, humorous way for those who have a fear of math, and it does so in part by treating algebra as a game.

    "An Ethic of Excellence" by Ron Berger is my absolute favorite education book (not just about math). (Trying to ) instill these values in my students means so much more for their future than any standard. I HIGHLY suggest reading it multiple times!
