Testing Bridge Lengths = = Kaylan Easterbrooks This lesson is only one that I have taught this week due to snow and me being sick. The students have already done a similar experiment with bridge thickness.

__Comments__ Kaylan, I liked that you had students make predictions at the start of the lesson. How did it go overall? I did not see a reflection. Dr. S.

Kaylan, I like how you have students making a conjecture based on their observations in previous problems. It will be beneficial to these students to develop these skills prior to high school. -Ben

Hey Kaylan. I agree with Dr. Sullivan and Ben on allowing the students to make predictions. In my lesson I had the students hypothesizing and I found that it really gets the students active and interested in the lesson. - Amanda

=Lessons for Week 2 - Due by 2/6= Slope Kaylan Easterbrooks

This lesson was very painful to get through. I assumed that they would have prior knowledge about naming the coordinates of a given point. So I have decided to go back, review and reteach this lesson to the students. [[file:1.30lesson.docx]

__Comments__ Good idea going back. Slope is such a big concept and without understanding coordinate points, the students may be doomed...curious to see how this goes after you go back and do some review. -Sean

Kaylan, I was not able to read the lesson plan. I think you need to remove the period between the 1 and 30. It would probably load correctly with an underscore or nothing there. Would you do that please so that I can read your reflection? Thanks. Dr. S.
