Okay, before I go any further, I feel I should clarify: I have not just been working on posters for the last week, despite them completely taking over my blog. I have been working on lesson ideas, too. I just want actually try them out in class, so I can reflect on how they went, before they make it to the blog.

Anyway, for today, another poster set: Inequality Symbols!

I guess equals is there too. But I thought “Inequality Symbols (and equals is there too)” wasn’t a very succinct title, so there you go.

I was very tempted to redo these bigger, with a single symbol to a page. If you think that would look better, you have my blessing to change it. 🙂

The prime numbers next to it are courtesy of my wife. In this case, I didn’t even need to print and laminate them myself. Sarah came into my room with an extra set she made for a reason she can’t remember. They’re designed to be one long column, but I thought I’d better at least contribute a little creativity to them in my room.

As always, downloads are PDF and the original editable format. Font is Marvel.

I’m a Geometry teacher who doesn’t know how to measure anything.

Okay, I can measure stuff. But, like most of the world except the nation I now live in, I learned* to measure everything in metric. Mostly. I grew up on a farm, so I’m very used to measuring area in acres and rainfall in points and inches. But aside from that, I just know metric.

So this poster set is for me, more than the kids, if I’m perfectly honest. Or it is for them, when Mr. Carter is silly enough to give them all their measurements in millimeters.

* I also had to fix this word after typing “learnt” just now. It’s going to take a while to break some of these habits.

This tweet basically summarizes what the last week has been like in our house:

Rest assured, all. Laminating continues because we found an unopened box of 100 pouches. @reilly1041 @theshauncarter @druinok @misscalcul8

The latest contribution for my walls are my classroom rules:

These basically are a slightly revised version of my rules from last year. You can download the posters here:

• classroom rules.pdf
• classroom rules.pub

The fonts are Archistico and Coming Soon.

Update (Sept 2018): I added absolute value to these at the start of the last school year, but then apparently forgot all about it. Thanks to Amanda Stradel for calling this to my attention! Downloads are here.

New posters today for Algebra 2: Parent Functions!

I actually put these up a couple of weeks ago, but unfortunately didn’t have any photos of them. Then the floors of the school hallways got waxed and we weren’t allowed in. Until today!

Here’s them next to my Geometry Symbols Posters.

Font is Wellfleet, which is quickly becoming one of my favorites.

New standards means new plans. Except I’ve only just moved to Oklahoma, so I’m teaching Algebra 2 for the first time anyway. Good timing, I guess?

Anyway, I’ll be using SBG this year. Here you’ll find my complete list of units, containing the relevant OK math standards and ‘Critical Gaps’, along with my SBG skills lists.

I’ve already shared my Geometry units and SBG skills list for this year.
