An inexpensive instructional aid for middle school math…?
What may be a good home made instructional aid for middle school math topics? Any ideas teachers?

Foldables

I am going into 7th grade into a public school for the first time. Wha is the difference betwwen Advanced Placment and normal math? Is there only future high school dropouts in normal math?

normal math is just that the regular math for that grade level where AP math is a higher grade level of math for that particular student so if your in 7th grade and you going into AP math you will be taking 8th grade math instead of 7th

grades 6, 7, and 8
I am not creative, please help me with creative ideas

Each year I read my students the book titled Math Curse. It’s about a teacher who tells his students that pretty much everything can be viewed in terms of math. Then the narrator starts seeing math everywhere and it drives him crazy.

After reading the book, I put up the words from the book (I can’t remember them verbatim right now). The kids then bring me an item I can easily attach to the board with a math problem written on an index card. These are placed on the board for other student to try and solve. For example: a candy bar wrapper. The question might be "If every person in Mrs. ???’s class ate three candy bars, how much fat would they have consumed?" Or, a highlighter and the question might be, "If highlighters were placed end-to-end all the way to the moon, how many highlighters would be needed?"

The kids love it and the book is really cool.

I should know this… At 4 miles per hour, it takes exactly one hour for Abe to walk to school in a blinding blizzard. How many minutes would it take for him if he were to walk at 5 miles per hour? I already know the answer (48 minutes), but I am wondering how you get this number. I feel so stupid! I’m just having one of those blank-out moments!
Anyways, I would appreciate input on this problem.

Thank you!

I find the easiest way to approach these problems is with a pair of ratios, along with a little assumption to make life easier (you can in this case).
Assume that his house is exactly 4 miles away from school; it doesn’t matter exactly how far he is since he’s walking at a constant rate.
With this assumption, we know that it will take him 1 hour to get to school.
Speed = distance/time = 4 miles/1 hour = 4 miles/60 minutes

If he walks at 5 miles per hour,
5 miles/ 60 minutes = 4 miles/x minutes, where x is the time it will take Abe to get to school. –> (he walks at a constant speed so we want to keep the ratio the same)
Using cross-multiplication, we get x minutes = (4 miles) * (60 minutes) / (5 miles) = 48 minutes (the units for miles cancels out).

Thus is takes him 48 minutes to get to school.

I know what that feels like; it’s so annoying when it happens. Hope this helps!

I’m tutoring a rising 6th grader in math. what are some elementary and middle school math subjects that we should go over and some websites that i could use to gather information and sample problems?

coolmath4kids.com is a great website that will educate him, while it has a fun-aspect to it as well. It examines things like algebra, geometry, ratios, comparing and ordering decimals, etc..

It varies considerably, depending on where you teach. Teacher’s salaries are public knowledge if they teach in public schools so you can find the salary scales, usually by doing a search for the appropriate department of education or school district or teacher’s union. Where I live a starting salary is about 35,000 – 40,000.

It’s hard to answer that question without knowing how good/bad you are at math and where you are in life. I know of some people (who are teachers) who failed it the first time and studied a lot, and some who did just fine.

I took it a few months ago without studying at all and easily passed it… but I am also currently a math major in college so my math skills aren’t rusty at all.

I would recommend getting a book and looking it over to at least see if you are confident in most of the areas on the test. The questions range from very basic math to trigonometry and calculus. You don’t have to be an expert in all of the areas because the subsections don’t mater on their own, just the overall scaled average matters but it would obviously be helpful to not go into the test clueless about half of the subsections or having not thought about trig for 20 years. You can also get a good idea about what is on the test here: http://www.mtel.nesinc.com/MA_testobjectives.asp

Good luck!

The altitude of a triangle is straight line drawn from the apex (the high point) perpendicular to the base. Since there are an infininte number of triangles there is no way to further define it unless you have a specific type of triangle (right, issoceles, etc..) in mind.
