Mrs. Gibbs Flips Algebra 1: A Matter of Trust
http://mrsgibbsflipsalgebra1.blogspot.com/2016/12/trust-your-students-and-watch-them-shine.html
Mrs Gibbs Flips Algebra 1. A place for reflection as I embark on the journey to "flip" my Algebra 1 classes. Saturday, December 3, 2016. A Matter of Trust. Let me start by saying it's been a GREAT week! It's been a challenging school year to this point, and the weeks before Thanksgiving Break were a struggle. I've ended more days than I can count feeling ineffective. I admit I expected this week, as students returned from Thanksgiving and looked ahead to Christmas, to be just as challenging. Then I began...

Virtual tours of Oklahoma K-12 schools. Megan Cannon’s #NotReadyTour. August 13, 2015. Megan Cannon (@), 6th/7th Grade STEM teacher Sapulpa. We haven’t seen a dirt bike theme before; I love the bright red and flags. She’s got some really nice details like the border on her chalkboard. I am super jealous of her exit door; I wish I could go outside as easily. STEM classrooms are the staging area for a lot of different activities so I enjoyed the open (hardwood! August 13, 2015.

Mrs. Gibbs Flips Algebra 1: Summer School Reflections
http://mrsgibbsflipsalgebra1.blogspot.com/2016/06/summer-school-reflections.html
Mrs Gibbs Flips Algebra 1. A place for reflection as I embark on the journey to "flip" my Algebra 1 classes. Wednesday, June 29, 2016. Summer School wrapped up 3 hours ago, and I've debated whether to wait a day or two before blogging, but I decided I wanted to clear my head of anything school-related for a few days, so here goes. I've taught summer school for 5 years. It's something I feel called to. It's always challenging. I read the book Number Talks Matter. I always want to work on multiplication fa...

Mrs. Gibbs Flips Algebra 1: NMSI Training, Year 3
https://mrsgibbsflipsalgebra1.blogspot.com/2014/07/nmsi-training-year-3.html
Mrs Gibbs Flips Algebra 1. A place for reflection as I embark on the journey to "flip" my Algebra 1 classes. Sunday, July 27, 2014. NMSI Training, Year 3. For the past 3 summers, I have attended 4 days of "Laying the Foundation" training at a Birmingham-area school. My "Year 3" training was this past week. NMSI is the National Math and Science Initiative. From their website. After six hours of math, I left with a headache each afternoon! We did a lot of thinking. I always leave these trainings identi...

Mrs. Gibbs Flips Algebra 1: A Flipped Review
http://mrsgibbsflipsalgebra1.blogspot.com/2015/12/a-flipped-review.html
Mrs Gibbs Flips Algebra 1. A place for reflection as I embark on the journey to "flip" my Algebra 1 classes. Saturday, December 19, 2015. I am not a fan of the review process. I believe it's necessary, I believe it can be beneficial, but I have often struggled with the best way to do it. At the end of a semester, with visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads, students are often distracted. Many give a little less than their best effort. I don't remember how to do Number 7! I've done some in-class fl...

Mrs Gibbs Flips Algebra 1. A place for reflection as I embark on the journey to "flip" my Algebra 1 classes. Saturday, February 27, 2016. WowIt's been a long time since I've blogged! I've been trying to channel my inner Dory. ALL of us at school have. It's that time of the school year. Very little sun.very little warmth (although this has not been that brutal of a winter).very little energy.restless students.Christmas Break is a distant memory.Spring Break seems so, so far away. I NEED their enthusiasm&#...

Mrs. Gibbs Flips Algebra 1: The In-Class Flip and the Magic
https://mrsgibbsflipsalgebra1.blogspot.com/2016/09/the-in-class-flip-and-magic.html
Mrs Gibbs Flips Algebra 1. A place for reflection as I embark on the journey to "flip" my Algebra 1 classes. Friday, September 16, 2016. The In-Class Flip and the Magic. Since flipping my Algebra 1 classes two years ago, I have tried to figure out how to successfully flip my Pre-Algebra classes. My Pre-Algebra kids are different from my "pre-AP" Algebra 1 kids. Less confident, less motivated, many of them trying to be successful despite learning disabilities and obstacles at home. I changed my order of t...

Mrs. Gibbs Flips Algebra 1: Adventures in Speed-Math-ing
http://mrsgibbsflipsalgebra1.blogspot.com/2016/09/adventures-in-speed-math-ing.html
Mrs Gibbs Flips Algebra 1. A place for reflection as I embark on the journey to "flip" my Algebra 1 classes. Sunday, September 18, 2016. I discovered task cards a few years ago. I was amazed at their effectiveness. Students who will shut down (understandably) at a worksheet of 20 problems will happily get a comparable amount of practice working one problem at a time, particularly if they can work with a partner and check their answers as they go (hurray for QR codes! I read this blog post. I started with...

Mrs. Gibbs Flips Algebra 1: Improving the "Unit with Room for Improvement"
http://mrsgibbsflipsalgebra1.blogspot.com/2016/05/improving-unit-with-room-for-improvement.html
Mrs Gibbs Flips Algebra 1. A place for reflection as I embark on the journey to "flip" my Algebra 1 classes. Saturday, May 14, 2016. Improving the "Unit with Room for Improvement". Last year I wrote a blog post about " The Unit with Room for Improvement. So, how'd it go this year? I divided the not-so-successful unit into two units, as I decided last year it needed to be. We did polynomial operations, tested, then moved into factoring. My students rocked polynomial operations! I took from a couple of dif...
