Other sources of games:
Games made up by teachers and students Software and on-line adaptations of traditional gamesVideo games—general or developed for specific content
A teacher’s experience in the classroom with the video game Civilization:
The teacher explained that “students were intrigued with ‘what if’ questions they were able to pose through the simulation.”
For example, they asked, “What if historically weak civilizations were to become global superpowers? What would it take to get them there?”
Video Games in the Classroom? What the Research is Telling Usby John Rice
The teacher ... observed that “students engaging in the game often referenced traditional materials for help.”
“Rather than replace textbooks and other paper-based learning materials, the game encouraged students to consult them, and use them to gain knowledge for the sake of the game.”
Video Games in the Classroom? What the Research is Telling Usby John Rice
Article downloaded December, 2010 fromhttp://www.eduquery.com/papers/Rice/techedge/Video_Games_in_the_Classroom.pdfNote: Article was originally published in the Winter, 2005 TechEdge, the quarterly journal of the Texas Computer Education Association.
Other findings:• In math classes, students with the games completed three times as
many practice problems as the control groups.
• Students in experimental groups using video games showed higher motivation and post-test scores.
• Researchers “surveyed close to 2000 people in business and discovered positive links toward
work attitudes, willingness to take risks, and problem solving
among professionals who grew up playing video games versus those who did not.”

Sam made the following scores on unit tests for the term:
92, 92, 15, 65, 77, 92
Sam's teacher said that his grade would be based on the mean of his grades. Sam argued that his grade should be based on the median score of his grades. Sam’ parents argued for the mode. Which do you think best reflects Sam's work for the term? Be ready to explain your answer.
A. Mean B. Median C. Mode D. Other(be ready to explain)
Teaching the process of perspective analysis
1. Identify your position on a controversial topic.2. Determine the reasoning behind your position.3. Identify an opposing position.4. Describe the reasoning behind the opposing position.5. When you have finished, summarize what you have
learned.

Troops to AfghanistanI believe it was wrong to send in more troops.
It was, and still is, the right thing to do.
The decision was fine; setting a pull-out date made it wrong.

Dr. Seuss’ real name was Theodor Geisel. He was not a doctor, but his father had always wanted him to be one.
A man named Bennett Cerf bet Dr. Seuss $50 that he could not write a book that had only 50 words. That is how we got the book, Green Eggs and Ham.
His first book was rejected by 27 publishers before it was finally published.

In a group of 23 people, at least two have the same birthday with the probability greater than ½.
12+3-4+5+67+8+9=100 There exists at least one other representation of 100 with 9 digits in the right order and math operations in between.

What a Slice of Pi! As of 2005, the greatest calculation of pi has been done by Professor Yasumasa Kanada and a team of researchers who set a new world record by calculating the value of pi to 1.24 trillion places (that's 1,240,000,000,000).
A Strange Prime Number!The prime number 73,939,133 has a very strange property. If you keep removing a digit from the right hand end of the number, each of the remaining numbers is also prime. It's the largest number known with this property.
111,111,111 x 111,111,111 = 12,345,678,987,654,321
Pick any 3 digit number. (682) 1. Write this number backwards and subtract the smaller
number from the other. (682 - 286 = 396) 2. Take this answer and again invert it. (693) 3. Add your answer in 1. to the answer in 2.
(396 + 693 = 1089)
You will always get either 0 or 1089.
What's the difference between a million, a billion, and a trillion?
A million seconds is 12 days.
A billion seconds is 31 years.
A trillion seconds is 31,688 years

Bad idea #1- Time: The rich pay more in taxes but they get to drive in carpool lanes, and they are served first at all government offices, like the Department of Motor Vehicles.
Bad idea #2-Gratitude: The rich pay more taxes but anyone who applies for social services only receives the service after writing a thank you note to a nearby rich person—the government will keep track of who has not received one lately.
Bad idea #3-Power: The rich pay more taxes but they get two votes per election.
How to Tax the RichTry giving them perks and privileges in return, says Dilbert creator Scott Adams

• Present unusual information.
There is a car behind one of three doors; there is a goat behind each of the other two. The game show host invites you to pick a door.
Once you've picked a door, he opens one of the OTHER two doors to show you there is a goat behind that one.

So far, so good. Now he gives you a choice. Before he opens the next door, you can keep your original guess or change your guess.
Which is the wisest course of action?
A. Keep your original guess–odds are betterB. Change your guess–odds are betterC. It does not matter; your odds are the same either way

Neither a borrower nor a lender be; For loan oft loses both itself and friend.
Hamlet:Excerpts from advice from Polonius to his son, Laertes
Give thy thoughts no tongue, Nor any unproportion'd thought his act.
Beware of entrance to a quarrel, but being in, Bear't that the opposed may beware of thee…
This above all: to thine ownself be true.

Unit: Polynomials
…student wanted to know what types of polynomials were used when rating quarterbacks in football. As a result of some Internet research, the student identified and could explain three formulas for rating quarterbacks:
National Football League Quarterback Rating Formula
a. = (((Comp/Att x 100) -30) / 20
b. = ((TSs/Att) x 100) /5
c. = ((Yards/Att) – 3) /4
a. b. c. and d. cannot be greater than 2.375 or less than 0.
AB rating = (a + b + c + d)/ 0.06
Example:
What is the probability of several different scenarios?
What is the formula the banker uses to make the offer?

• Set the conditions
We would have to teach students in a way that would empower them to
• Pursue personal projects• Apply knowledge in meaningful ways
• Connect to students’ lives.
Analogical reasoning tasks
Analogy problemsMatch the relationship between the first two elements to the same relationship between the second two elements.

Personal Projects
What if right now, we were to give you the rest of the day to create something (an idea, a program, a schedule, a task, strategy) that would help you, and the colleagues around you, to significantly increase the level of engagement of your students and improve their state test scores.
You would need to deliver a description of what you are creating, along with budget, time frame, expected results, etc.
