I need to have “deliverable,” so I shouldn’t include the doubling part of times tables yet.   Still, it’s *important.* I googled to see if anybody had already designed a lesson to teach how to do it.   Found only practice BUT oh, my.   Good practice.   Good because it’s all javascript 😉   (Also, thankfully, safe because I […]

Times Tables, Geogebra…

I was going to burn leave hours by waiting for that line of storms to pass but it was goin’ too slowly.   Weather still likes me — made it in well before things got damp. Audrey M. is blogging about learning Desmos’ calculation layer… I shall endeavor to do the same for Geogebra. But first… […]

Whew!

TL:DR   ‘boring commentary on learning Geogebra’ No, it’s *not* “stick a fork in it, it’s done.”   Digital isn’t like that. I sent the email w/ link to my Geogebra activity.  I did the horizontal one first and had to figure out a lot of stuff.  I’m really glad I have *some* “hard-learned habits” that saved […]

So!   My task! To create a student-facing activity in Geogebra that helps the lesson writer’s ideas or goals for the lesson come to life…. My “best Geogebra skills”  aren’t that great so the coming to life part is my focus. Also, there’s already stuff on Geogebra.   How can I add life to that? (the writing […]

H5P done

So… I’ve done a little thing in H5P. I think I will go back to Geogebra because of all the complications that interactive things with math entail.    I don’t see an option for equations.   So, if somebody’s going to have to use a Separate Thing With Its Own LEarnign Curve, it might as well […]

Oh, one more distraction

…   does this count as blogging along?   I haven’t started the thing because… no, we didn’t get a recording yet. Since the intro part wasn’t really a “group” thing  (yes, I considered trying to make it such since we could unmute but I was already multitasking w/ 3 folks out doing ALEKS and writing stuff), […]

We interrupt your regular programming…

So!   Work has been … just busy enough to utterly prevent progress.  About 3 more weeks before it will be *much* too busy and no, I can’t count  on any help thank you. But! Today is Friday (off … 2 more…).   Yesterday I *did* manage to get in on the first hour of the “western […]

I’ve got folks who need to learn their times tables. I’m working on my own module but they need it now. There’s a plethora of “times tables practice” options online.  I want something that meets these criteria: isn’t incredibly cute.   Xtramath is out there to “help kids master basic facts.” Ooops.  SO many of the […]

tl/dr:   my notes on learning Geogeb So, I’ve looked at an “interactive number chart” and have successfully STOPPED my fingers from trying to walk through the 282 steps in the construction protocol.   No, we will not learn anything by typing in all the points on that grid and the polygons created to make the graph.  […]

AWay for the weekend.   Drove back and … oh, my, STORMS have come through and they broke some roads… … and it’s hot out there so it’s 5:00 but I want to kill a few minutes. I’ve put in for the interactives developer … and now I need to forget I did that and keep […]
