My Genius Hour Blog- Math Edition

Hi everyone, For this week, I will be looking at creating an activity relating to the equality of pay between genders! 1. Housing costs/trends-> C3.1, B3.5, B1.1 2. Public health statistics of different countries-> C3.1, B3.5, A2 3. Crimes and racial profiling -> C3.1, B3.5, A2 4.  Passion project   on a social justice topic (student choice -> D2.2, D2.3, D2.4, A2 5. Women in STEM/Pay inequality -> C3.1, B3.5, A2 This connects to the Grade 9 math curriculum, with expectations  C3.1, B3.5, A2 . For this week's activity, I thought it might be interesting to try and create a 3 act math problem (with a twist) for students to solve. We learned about 3 Act math a few classes ago, and I think it is really interesting and get students intrigued in the problem! I took the framework of 3 Act math and tried to create a similar structure! For more information on 3 Act math, please click here !      Please click here to see the problem! Until next t...

 Hi everyone, For my genius hour this week, I have decided to look closer at some specific activities and how I can connect them to different stands/expectations of the grade 9 curriculum.  Last week, these are some of the curriculum expectations and some topics that I've related them to.  1. Housing costs/trends -> C3.1, B3.5, A2, B1.1 2. Public heath statistics of different countries-> C3.1, B3.5, A2 3. Crimes and racial profiling -> C3.1, B3.5, A2 4.  Passion project   on a social justice topic (student choice -> D2.2, D2.3, D2.4, A2 5. Women in STEM/Pay inequality -> A2, F1.1, F1.4 For this post, I will be focusing on Housing Trends, and how they relate to the grade 9 expectations (C3.1, B1.1, B3.5 and A2) I was able to find an activity that a teacher has done with their students! You can find the link here ! I also made my first mini-activity that can be used as a warm-up in a grade 9 math class! Yay! Looking at this activity that has studen...
