Flipped Math Lessons

This week we are trying something new in math... Flipped Lessons!

What are "Flipped" lessons?
A flipped lesson allows students to preview and learn material at home, while allowing class time for more in depth discussions, notes, and better opportunities for students to ask questions surrounding a topic. Flipped lessons give more students a voice in their learning and can provide a better understanding of new material.

How does it work?
The night before a lesson, students will get a chance to preview the information, watching Mr. Habecker's video and answering a few questions from their homework book before extending their knowledge further.

What will students have to do the night before?

  1. Head to our Math HW Form Spreadsheet HERE or in Google Classroom
  2. Click on the lesson assigned
  3. Watch Mr. Habecker's video & complete the corresponding HW questions in workbook
  4. Answer the questions on the Form 
  5. Submit your response

I've asked the class to help me out this week in providing feedback on Flipped Lessons. My hope is that this allows students more of a voice in our daily class discussions centered on math and open up the room for a deeper understanding of concepts.
