Today the kids used Castle Learning and Jmap to practice graphing quadratic/linear systems. They are gettting the hang of using the calculator to set up a table of values and creating their graphs, as well as finding the intersection between the two lines. As usual they make the same mistakes and don't adjust when given the correct way.
Using Castle Learning went great with my first block class. They worked very hard and for the most part they completed both assignments that I had put up over the last few days. My third and fourth block classes did not go as smooth. First of all there are a lot of immature students in that class who can't cope with anything and focus on the task at hand. Once they learn that they are not going to win arguments and just keep quiet and listen they will succeed. The other issue we had was the internet was working very slow today on every computer. Therefore we were not able to totally complete the assignments on Castle Learning. Of course the kids could not cope with that and get over it so they shut down.
