I'm curious how it'll work out in the future, or if we'll decide it's a wash.Shireen Dadmehrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16282965851939089408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10220498.post-44671116006748093122011-07-14T16:49:17.124-05:002011-07-14T16:49:17.124-05:00We have no idea as to who will be in our classes ...We have no idea as to who will be in our classes nor do we have e-mail addresses so this would not work in our school.

This is the first year we're giving summer math work in addition to the English work they get. <br /><br />My intention with the videos was as an added resource where the students could pick the way that worked best for them to review old topics. I'm perfectly fine with them looking over their old notes or reading web pages. Hopefully, they got that from the instructions. <br /><br />Also, hopefully, any of the 3 projects won't seem tedious, as they can pick the one that interests them the most. I've heard so many students through the years mention how bored they get over the summer, so my 2nd intention was to show them that there are cool things they can explore or try or learn for themselves with the Internet.Shireen Dadmehrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16282965851939089408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10220498.post-39288635965952585522011-07-14T09:24:21.152-05:002011-07-14T09:24:21.152-05:00How well does your community of parents and studen...How well does your community of parents and students tolerate summer homework? Around here, only the English teachers do it, and then only in the opt-in honors classes.<br /><br />While my son enjoys math and is just now finishing up the Art of Problem Solving precalc class, I think even he would balk at watching math videos and making a pantograph as homework. He has a low tolerance for busywork and definitely feels a need for a break from it over the summer so that he can spend time learning things he cares about.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
