Bob solves a Large Multiplication Problem

My mathematics class has been inspired by the mathematics tutorials on www.mathtrain.tv and on www.khanacademy.org. So we thought we’d give it a try! This series of videos demonstrates what students have been learning since school started on August 22nd.

Here’s a screencast of Bob solving a large multiplication problem.

Leopard Server

Teachers: Along with access to Google Docs, all of your students also have a username and password for logging in to the macs that enable them to store files in their folders. This will give them virtual access from nearly any Mac in the school. Now when students log in, they will automatically connect to folders that they share with teachers. (Thanks Chery!)

A shared folder for each grade level enables you to quickly distribute or collect files. Students have the right to delete any file in the folder, so be sure to save files in a safe place after students submit their work. Otherwise, you may have students accidentally deleting files that belong others. In other words, the shared folder shouldn’t be used to archive work.

Unlike students, teachers have to connect to the server in order to access this shared folder. Here’s how to access this shared folder.

  • Click on your desktop.
  • Click on “Go.”
  • Click on “Connect to Server…”
  • Type in “afp://leopardserver.tellurideschool.local/UserData” and click on “connect”
  • Select the year folder that your students graduate. 4th=2020, 5th=2019, 6th=2018.
  • Select the year folder + group.

Equivalence in Division

Students have been writing stories and drawing representations of equivalence in division. You can see examples of their thoughtful and creative work below.
