Follow an Edublogger

This is the first of many "tech tasks" that we are required to complete for my Internet for Educators (I4Ed) class.

Math = Love is written by Sarah Hagan, a high school algebra teacher in Oklahoma. I happened upon her blog by accident last May and I have been following her ever since! What I like about Ms. Hagan's blog is that she posts pictures of her Interactive Notebooks that she makes the kids do. Even though the curriculum in the United States is different than here in Manitoba, a lot of the Math concepts overlap and she has creative ways to help students remember concepts. 

For example, one of my favorite pages on her blog is Polynomials and Factoring where she shows really neat tricks to factoring when a > 1.

Also, I'm pretty sure Sarah is a bigger math nerd than anyone else I know... I'm pretty jealous! She has some great ideas for celebrating Pi day which I might actually use this year while out student teaching! 3.1415926... or 03/14/15 9:26 am will be epic... if it wasn't on a saturday!! Oh well, guess we will have to celebrate the day before, which of course is not quite as epic but could still be a fun day for students. 

Anyone who loves math should definitely follow this blog. And even if you don't love math, she posts a lot of posts called Things Teenagers Say. Its always good for a laugh or two when you're stressed!
