Mullet Lesson Extensions

Today, we had Day 2 of the Mullet Ratio. The best part of sharing digital media with other math teachers is the constant improvement of lessons. Today, I pulled in a bunch of ideas from last year’s comments, threw in some Photoshop, and had a pretty good day.

As many of you know, my fourth Period is Algebra Concepts, which means its students require more scaffolding and more explicit directions, plus usually some modeling.

And white space. Oh, man; that’s the best advice I ever got about worksheet making. Fawn Nguyen has excellent worksheets, not just because they challenge students to think conceptually, one accessible step at a time. Also, because they have a ton of white space.

Anyway, see attached.

Also, here are some mullets I added this year, some of which were found by students.

    I love the “plot…something”. You’ll have to share what you get there.

      That wasn’t part of their worksheet yet. I know that I want something to happen there, but I haven’t figured out what it is yet.

    Find the inequality. Party is greater than or equal to 2(business)? Does this qualify it as a true mullet? Or, party is greater than 2.5(business), etc.

    Hello! I was trying to look at some of the documents but it says Access Denied, even when I log into WordPress. Can you help me with that?
