Math Monday

YouTube - Do The Quad Solve (WSHS Math Rap Song)

Math Mondays celebrate great aspects of math education. Today I highlight a group of math teachers who use hip hop music to engage their students. This video features lyrics from teachers and a student. This video and others use popular songs as inspirations for teaching math content (i.e. - Teach Me How to "Factor"). While not every teacher can rap, all educators should look for ways to reach this generation of students. Congrats to WSHSmath teachers for using music and technology to get students engaged and excited about math!

Recently, I attended Kagan Cooperative Structures Training. This article provides some research and rationale behind the structures. Some advantages to using Kagan Structures include helping students develop social skills and intrinsic motivation, increasing student engagement, incorporating brain science into instruction, and helping students learn how to use academic language and provide effective feedback.
