Hey you all,       T oday I want to talk about Flipped Learning. Maybe you may have heard of it before, or you may have a knowledge of it. Let me clarify the subject for you. Flipped Learning is actually an approach that blends face-to-face interaction in the classroom with independent study outside of it, often through viewing assigned video content. At its most basic level, teachers will instruct students to watch a long-form lecture or recorded slideshow video at home, then come to class prepared to discuss its concepts, similarly to assigned readings. Of course, recording lecture videos and making them available to students is beneficial to and important for a modern, accessible classroom. And providing content for students to review on their own time and actively discuss in the classroom has been a crucial part of learning since the dawn of academia.          According to Kari M. Arfstrom, co-founder of the Flipped Learning Ne...

Hey you all! Long time, no see, huh? It's been really busy semester in all ways. So today I will talk about The Pythagorean Tree and how we use it in our classrooms to impress our students. We already know what a The Pythagorean Tree and what it is meant to be. It is always easy to be a teacher just give the formulas and expect students to understand how it works and to apply the formula to the problems. However, if we want our students to internalize the math concepts we need to go beyond the formulas. As a prospective teacher, I believe that students must be taught about proof of formulas. Proofs make it easier to understand any concept. Anyway, let's turn back today's topic. 1.      The objective of this topic is; ·         M.8.3.1.5.  Student forms the Pythagorean relationship, solves the related problems. 2.      Pedagogical Explanation: As I mentioned earlier, it is importan...

Hi everyone!    As a teacher, we have so many web sites that helps us improve our teaching. Also there are so many social networks that can be benefitted. I found a website that teachers help their colleagues with sharing their worksheets, activity plans, etc. There is thousands of sharings at that site. Some of them requires money, and some of them are free. Also you can share your works if you want. You can make money from your own activities also!

I highly recommend you...

Hi Everybody!    I am Derya. I am a senior student in Boğaziçi University. My major is Teaching Mathematics. Besides mathematics, I am also interested in foreign languages, especially asian languages. Chinese and Japanese are two of them that I learned during my university years. Of course, learning a new language is not just about words and sentences. The same goes for me. While learning Chinese, I also learned about Chinese culture, people, cuisine etc. Through this entertaining process, I also found  Bu 中 society (which is Chinese society) with my three lovely friends. In addition to that, I hope I can study master degree in Shanghai.     I really love animals. I have 9 pets; 3 cats, 3 dogs, a  budgerigar and two tortoise for now. They are so lovely and all good friends. My oldest animal is my dog Bambam. He is very smart and friendly. He raise the others! He took the father role. However he can't protect himself. He thinks that all animals are a...
