Guest Teacher Plans for Wednesday, January 13, 2016
Welcome! I am at a math conference out of town today. I will have my cell on (612-600-6307) and be near my email () a lot of the day – not all – so please contact me if you have any questions. Stephanie Woldhum (room 224 – I share a room with her ) and Rob Rumppe (room 224s) are great resources if you need anything. Here is my schedule for the day and a few students in each class you can ask for help if you have questions.
Period / Time / Helpful Students / Directions1
Math Center
Room 224s / 8:20-9:10 / · xxxxx
(but all of them are helpful) / · Students will come to the math center to take tests or for help. I have several aides that may be in there. Thor (or any of them) can give you directions of how the room works.
· I have a couple of students that normally show up just to work (Jacob, Cameron, and others), they should not need much help.
· Rob Rumppe, whose desk is in the room, usually arrives at 8:30 or so. Ask him questions if you have any.

Math Center
Room 224s / 9:14-10:04 / NO student aides this hour. / · Help students with taking tests or assignments. Students must sign in when they arrive and they must have a pass.
· If it becomes too stressful to have students, put a ‘Math Center CLOSED’ sign on the door.

Advanced Algebra
Room 224 / 10:08-10:58 / xxxxx
xxxxx / Directions:
· Take attendance (seating chart or class list on clipboard)
· Hand out one sheet dated “January 13th” with directions for students of what to do for the hour.
· Students will be using computers for this assignment. They know how to get the , but need reminders to return them and plug them in before they leave.
· I expect students to be working the entire hour. They can talk to their tablemates, but should be working on math.
· If students finish early they can work on Daily Practice (homework) 4h and 4i. Students have copies of this, but I left you a few extra, just in case.
· At the end of the hour, collect the sheets you handed out (even if students are not finished).
· Leave me the names of any students who do not work for the majority of the hour or give you problems.

Today’s Task – Exploring Quadratic Functions on Desmos:
1. Today you will be using Desmos to explore Quadratic Functions. I expect you to record your answers in Desmos (I will grade what you type in) and in some problems on this sheet. You will have 2 different tasks to complete. Be prepared to explain what you noticed in class tomorrow. WRITE DOWN EVERYTHING.
