I am doing some stuff on a v volunteer basis for my son't school. so am not a "real" math teacher and want to be able to check my own work! Thank you. I love the idea.

Once they got the hang of bidding, it got a little crazy. If I'm going to change anything, it will be to have a smaller number of groups. I had 5 and that made things a little crazy. I have smaller class sizes, so I think I can get away with 3 or 4 groups with more members.<br /><br />Thanks for this awesome idea! It was a great way to start the first day of the new semester!Jennifer Uribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05958936055028837328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1091979517567705761.post-69942502542323378392016-02-19T08:16:41.421-06:002016-02-19T08:16:41.421-06:00I gave each group a set amount of money to start w...I gave each group a set amount of money to start with, but I don't remember how much it was. Just make the starting amount and increments work with each other, and you'll be fine. The $500 was taken away at the very end.

Did you start with $100 for the first problem? And in what increments did you go up? How did you take away the $500 when they bought the wrong answer- at that time or at the end? Thanks.

They showed me that side of the paddle. Then I randomly chose one student who had it correct to explain why. With the domain/range activity I put up a graph and either the domain or range of that graph. They had to decide which one I was showing them. <br />I was a little nervous at first that my students would club eachother over the heads with the paint stir-sticks, but they were awesome. All 3 times I've pulled them out we have gone through the slides I've made and they ask me to come up with more on the spot. This was ingenious!!

I try to spend a whole day just on checking equations. This paper allowed them to practice the skill of checking even with types of equations we haven't covered in class. (variables on both sides) This was the perfect activity because they had to practice the three steps of writing the equation, substituting the solution, and seeing if they got the same number on both sides. The auction part was a blast! I even modified this activity for my other class and gave them answers from a multiple choice test. They had to buy the answers that were correct.
