Maybe pull a class estimate threshold ("1 billion seconds") and use it for a round of TP. <br /><br />Dave (the Rational Radical, not sure why it's tagging me different )Dave Sabolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00015418329232791120noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779271385256625533.post-68380125518732027652016-08-04T11:00:40.008-07:002016-08-04T11:00:40.008-07:00This is what I am trying to figure out in this ser...This is what I am trying to figure out in this series of blog posts. ;) Seriously, I blog to figure this stuff out. I think I would like to create a deleted scene to introduce Talking Points on Day 2 or Day 3, and then put some of the subsequent Exeter material into Talking Points form. Working on that today!<br /><br />- Elizabeth (@cheesemonkeysf)cheesemonkeysfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09311170815422010013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779271385256625533.post-69966706139555112322016-08-04T10:58:29.079-07:002016-08-04T10:58:29.079-07:00@Jennifer - Our required curriculum is just not th...@Jennifer - Our required curriculum is just not that challenging for our students, so what I like about the Exeter sequences is that they are very hard, interesting, truly rich problems that only require the level of math that our 9th graders have. My hope is to use the Exeter materials as anchor sequences for introduction/"discovery" of topics in the regular curriculum. Beyond that, I'm not sure. That's why I'm writing this series of blog posts!!! :)<br /><br />- Elizabeth (@cheesemonkeysf)cheesemonkeysfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09311170815422010013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5779271385256625533.post-47780070679157359952016-08-04T09:52:17.392-07:002016-08-04T09:52:17.392-07:00Wow - I love this idea and now I want to try it! ...Wow - I love this idea and now I want to try it!
