My Pile of Rocks: Showing the Moves

This year I tried out a lesson I have seen on the MTBoS multiple times.

Here is a post on it. I have notices that my students struggle in our

geometry unit because if all of the new vocabulary. Dance, Dance, Traversal

is a good way to reinforce some of the vocabulary (vertical, corresponding,

alternate, supplementary, etc.) because the students need to move their

feet to the correct position. I would like to try and make a couple more

songs available, just so I can have a slower beat for the students to start off

with. Also, I found that labeling the angles (1,2,3,4,...) helped the students.

The dry erase markers stayed on the floor for the few days I needed them

to and I wasn’t scolded by the janitors (unlike the permanent markers I used

a while back- totally different story!).

If you click on the video-turn the volume DOWN! It got pretty loud!
