I selected the standards for this project after I had found all of the websites and completed the assignment. It was not the right way to do the project in hind sight because if I would have looked at the standards before I started I could have expanded the project and focused it on the topic standards instead of hitting one primarily and just lucking into covering another one by accident. The standards I covered I got off the Indiana Department of Education website, there were MA.G.4.1 and MA.G.4.7. Ma meaning mathematics, G meaning geometry, and 4.1 and 4.7 being the particular sections mentioned.
When I was picking out websites, I knew that I needed to pay really close attention to the ads that were on the top and sides of the websites by refreshing them multiple times to make sure there was nothing inappropriate. Beyond that I was able to find quality websites that were helpful and provided plenty of information, it was actually tough because so many of the websites focused so much and it was tough to find websites that covered just what I wanted them to cover.
I selected the task with my own creativity based on what I thought would create a lot of study work to learn about an intro to the geometry of triangles and would allow them to then solve and create their own problems to show their own ability with the subject.
There were challenges with the websites, finding ones that were not extremely broad, even though one of the sites was quite vague but it was clean advertising wise so it made sense to keep it in the project. Overcoming them was more just spending more time looking at websites finding a better one then what I had previously found.
i kind of did the same thing as you did with selecting my standard except that i read them all and then used them while looking for websites. that way i could narrow it down to which ever standard had the most resources available
ReplyDelete^ I did the same thing. I picked my stardard only after I was finished. I'm doing mathematics, too. Fun stuff!
