Today we played a Raffle Ticket Review Game in my Precalculus class. It was a huge success. The students were the most excited about doing math than I have ever seen. That may be because the semester is almost over (we are reviewing for the semester exam) or it may be because I haven't had them do many activities …

Being on the technology committee has its advantages. The head of academic technology gave me a new document camera to play with. It’s from a brand called IPEVO.⁠ You can see it in the photo below.

updated on Sep 23, 2020 If you are teaching math in 2020, then your school has probably adopted an all-virtual model or a hybrid model (some students virtual, some face to face). You have naturally wondered, "How am I supposed to give a test when the students are at home?"

If you are teaching full virtually or in a hybrid model (some students are at home and some are virtual), then you need a way to share your screen (and therefore your handwriting) with your students. If you have a Mac and an iPad, I'm going to share one way you can share your iPad screen with your virtual students…

She calls the game Stinky Feet …
