Digital Breakout: Experimental Design

Well, hello!  Back to using Breakouts in the classroom.  Seriously, I cannot express how much I find these helpful, engaging, fun, amazing, etc.  And my students have the same sentiment! If you are worried about how time-consuming Breakouts are to create, feel free to simply use mine.  Just copy/paste this web address so that your students have access to it.  Warning: you should walk through it before giving it to your kiddos... some of the clues are tricky - and some have nothing to do with breaking out!

 For this particular Breakout, I borrowed some ideas from BreakoutEdu Digital.  Sometimes the storyboard is harder for me to create than finding the actual problems and the use of Google's media - hence, a lot of borrowing goes down on my laptop :)  

 If you have made it this far, feel free to make a copy of the teacher notes for yourself.  Again, if you do plan on using this for your students I highly suggest that you "Breakout" without looking at the teacher notes.  Trust me, you will want to know where the students will need help and hints!

    thanks so much for sharing this resource. I hope to use it as a review with my AP Stats kids one day - but I cannot locate the invisible link to the MC Quiz. The teacher notes say it is between the two intro paragraphs but I can't seem to find it. Do you have any tips?

      Ahhh yes... funny story! When I switched to the new Google Sites, that link disappeared and I cannot remember if I have had a chance to fix that issue yet. But thanks for the heads up! Feel free to make a copy of the form and delete that lock.

Exponential Growth & Decay Scavenger Hunt

Scavenger Hunts are always fun (and easy to grade). This particular one is all about applications of exponential growth & decay. My students seem to understand this topic really well, but I still wanted to provide more practice.  When I did this hunt originally, I created the cards with the answer on the front and the question on the back. Once I figured out how to copy and make it work, it was great because I could use the cards over and over again. However, they started looking old, and I lost some of the cards. So t his year, I placed the answer and question on the front. It made it so much easier to copy!  If you would like to try this in your class, here is a copy ! I included the solutions as well.  UPDATE: I created this activity and transformed into a remote version.  Remote Version: SE Scavenger Hunt               TE Scavenger Hunt ~RJ

AP Calculus Hunger Games Review

I created this a couple of years ago when Hunger Games was really popular. However, I thought that I would share with all of you in case you wanted to use or revamp to something newer.  I created 12 groups for the 12 districts. They decided what their name would be as a district. They had tasks each day to accomplish. The tasks were just multiple choice questions centered around the major topics of Calculus AB. This took a lot longer than I thought - about 4 days. I was forced to give them more than 15 minutes for each task (which did not make me happy since the AP exam is timed - Oh well.) I had the time, and it worked out.  You can decide how you want to the points to work, I gave them 2 points for each correct answer. It was very easy to grade as this is the student worksheet. They placed the letter of the answer in each spot.  I made them show all work on another student sheet so that I could see what we needed to review.  Each day, I would ...

Adding & Subtracting Rational Expressions Drag & Drop

Because Math 3 now has drag & drop on the final exam, students need the practice. So, I created one using Google Slides. It went over really well!  While this only took the students about 40-45 minutes to complete, it took me about 2 days to create this activity. Oh well, at least it is cute! :) I used Google Drawings to create the scene and took a screenshot of the drawing to post as the background in Google Slides. This worked so that students could only move the answers.  I created this for an Honors class and one of the problems (#5 - the one pictured) really stumped the kiddos. I loved it! They kept thinking that x - 1 was not part of the common denominator...they didn't realize that they needed to simplify after subtracting. It really made them think!   When they were finished, they shared it with me! I really think that this helped the kids get more practice on drag & drop while working on adding and subtracting rational expressions!...
