Reflection+of+what+you+did

=Overview= On this wikipage, I will explain what you just did and how it relates to the meaning of a flipped classroom.

What is a flipped classroom?
A flipped classroom (or "inverted classroom" (Lage, Platt, & Treglia, 2000, p. 32) can be defined as: >> "... events that have traditionally taken place inside the classroom now take place outside the classroom and vice versa." (p. 32)

If you were in my 6th grade classroom in New York State, I would have to teach you this Common Core Math Learning Standard: > Understand signs of numbers in ordered pairs as indicating locations in quadrants of the coordinate plane; recognize that when two ordered pairs differ only by signs, the locations of the points are related by reflections across one or both axes (see http://www.corestandards.org/Math/Content/6/NS/ )

Although I could teach you how to reflect points across an axis in many ways, I decided to have the Kahn Academy teach you with a video. If this were a real flipped classroom, you would have watched the video at home and came to school the next day ready to plot points and reflections over the x and y axis while working in small groups to solve problems such as this:



Since we were not able to meet in a classroom, I had you practice plotting points and reflecting them using an online interactive. In order for me to formatively assess your understanding, you sent me screenshots of your work and a brief paragraph describing your observations.

You participated in a "quasi-flipped" classroom!
