In EDM, students continued to work with adding and subtracting mixed numbers. Today's calculations included mixed numbers with unlike denominators which is slightly different than last night's homework.
Students were separated into flexible groups to work through five different stations. The stations included:
- MJ 136 and 137
- Fraction Word Problems
- Fraction Review Cards
- Mixed Number Calculations
- Challenge Story Problems
- In class, students:
- Collaborated with peers to complete timed tasks.
- Analyzed story problems and suggested approaches to the problems.
- Used cards and dice to play games to practice fraction skills.
- HW:
- Complete MJ136 - 137.

I think I am 50/50 because I think either you have or you don't, but then if I don't "have it" I will still try. I think my mind is constantly evolving because I am always learning new things. My inference on why you posted this video is because you want us to see how having a fixed mind can get in the way of opening our mind in learning.

1: I think I have a growth mindset.
ReplyDelete2:I believe you can always be smarter if you try hard enough, and that your mindset is never per-determined.
3: I think you put this on the blog because you wanted us to keep an open mind and want to have a growth mindset.

1. I would like to say I have a growth mindset, but I feel I have a little bit of both mindsets. (I'm a little full of myself sometimes)
ReplyDelete2. Like I said before, I can be full of myself and don't try hard enough 'cause I just expect myself to know these thing. So, both... again...
3. I think you put this on the blog because, like you said in class, you think some of us need to know that just because we've always been told that we're smart, it doesn't mean when something gets too hard just quit. And let's face it, a lot of people, including me, can be extremely arrogant. Not all, but a lot.

1. Growth Mindset
ReplyDelete2. I feel like I am learning more each year, and I do put effort into SOME things (surprising as it may be XD) and I feel that "effort is what makes you smarter/stronger."
3. I think you put this on the blog to get us to think about how much effort we put into our work and to get us to think about how much the extra work is doing for us. Also, I think you put this on the blog because the TEST is tomorrow and you want us to put our best effort into it, as it will serve us well.

1.Growth Mindset
ReplyDelete2.I think it's constantly evolving because people have to work for their accomplishments in life, you can't wake up in the morning waiting for your paparazzi to arrive at your doorstep, you have to work for that. Albert Einstein, for example had to learn and study in school, he wasn't born like that.
3. I think you post this on because some people in our class, not naming any names, don't try as hard as they can everyday so they don't want their lives to be better for some reason.

1. I believe I have a growth mindset when it comes to stuff like school, but a fixed mindset when it comes to sports.
ReplyDelete2. I believe my intelligence is constantly evolving because weather i know it or not, I am learning new things each day.
3. I think you posted the second video to make us think who we are and what we can do to fix whatever is wrong.
As I read through the comments, which I'm sure everyone can say they do, even if the won't admit it, I feel as though I lean towards fixed. I'm a realist, so it's hard to say for me that a three foot tall person could be a football star, but I don't believe that you can't improve in many things. Maybe you can't will yourself to grow taller, but you can become faster and stronger. Intelligence is constantly growing, I would be a knucklehead if I said differently. This is definitely not fixed, because as you said in class, Sydney wasn't the amazing artist she is today when she was born. She might have been crying calculus... The only reason I see in the other comments is that we want to realize effort, but as I think, I see it might be another test within a test. Tests can be used to see what a student knows, this is testing their knowledge in themselves. But there is also the fact that you know who you feel could do better than they are, seeing as they either said growth of 50/50, you can look at who you want to test and make a silent observation. Or I could be completely off and it's just one of my hallucinations...

1: I think that my mindset is growth
ReplyDelete2: I think that my intelligence is constantly evoving because when I was born I was pretty sure my parents thought that I was going to be one of those lazy people that don't try.

3. I think that you posted this because you learn new things each day whether its learning from a mistake or learning something that you have to put effort into. You have to put effort in everything you do or else your not going to ever learn how to do it right.
Good people practice till they get it right.
Great people practice till they never get it wrong.

3.I think you put the second vidoe on for us to know if we are growth or fixed mindset. Also to show us that if you try you will grain knowlegae.

1. I think I have a growth mindset. I think this because you can always be better at something, so why not try? Nobody will ever be perfect. If you have "it", then you will have to work hard to sustain that knowledge. If you don't have "it", then you probably have "something" else.
ReplyDelete2. I think my intelligence is constantly evolving. I think this because I learn something new everyday. If you try your very best everyday, then you will walk out the door with something valuable.
3. I think you post this on the blog to teach us all a lesson. Just because someone has always told you that they are great, you don't know EVERYTHING. You have to work hard to deserve the things that come your way in life. In the end, it's not the years in your life that matter, it' the life in your years.- Life Quotes

1) I think I have a growth mindset.
ReplyDelete2) I think my intelligence is constantly evolving. I think this because I try my hardest everyday in everything that i do, where if your intelligence is predetermined, you kind of decide how much you are going to do. Obstacles are hard to overcome because you haven't planned for these.
3) I think you posted the second video for us to watch to make us really think about and consider our mindset; if we are trying our best or if we are setting limits for ourselves.

1) I think I have a growth mindset.
ReplyDelete2) I think my intelligence is constantly evolving because sometimes, I have bad days in Pre-Algebra, whereas sometimes I feel smarter and more into the lesson than usual.
3) I think you posted the second video because if someone may watch it, it may change the way they think... so one day, they could get a, lets say, D- on a test... then they watch the video and say, "Wow... I think I really need to pay attention more so I can get a better grade."

1. I think i have a fixed mindset.
ReplyDelete2. I know that my brian is constantly evolving because everyday I go to school I learn new things and I know I'm a lot smarter then last year.
3. I think you posted this vidoe to show us that sometimes we need to step up and give some effort.
