I created a Power Point presentation that incorporated some of your points but opened with a slide of a scatter plot that showed how the number of followers on Twitter of some athletes/celebrities was positively correlated to the amount of money they received to endorse a product with a tweet. The students were engaged from the beginning.

I thought it was so funny, and they were so disappointed when I told them that color had nothing to do with today's lesson. They also had a hard time scattering the M&M's. They kept wanting to line them up. I think my whole Algebra I class is just a little bit OCD. haha!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17192691152544708821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-60739395104649551442013-03-01T11:27:16.565-06:002013-03-01T11:27:16.565-06:00I am planning on doing this lesson today with my 6...I am planning on doing this lesson today with my 6th graders. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing.<br /><br />JamieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-82501611661389558342012-03-17T14:57:08.060-06:002012-03-17T14:57:08.060-06:00I love this idea!!

A friend of mine, also a practicing teacher, did a similar lesson to this with his Grade 7 math class for a supervised lesson. He was worried the class was going to descend into chaos, but it ended up working out well for him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
