I generate/find problems from a few sources, listed here in order of usefulness to me: CME series, Exeter problem sets, IMP series, Discovering series, and my brain on rare occasions :). I don't have a giant bank, but do have many problem sets that spiral and build on each other and connect to applications/interdisciplinary projects we are also doing at the same time. I make each problem set based on the flow of the lessons that year, where I think students need more review/connections, and what projects we're working on at the time. So I look through previous problem sets and if I need more, go to the sources listed above, knowing their strengths and what I'm looking for (CME has good investigative/developing the concept and practice questions, but few applications/word problems, Exeter is great for connecting Algebra and Geometry and smaller applications/practice, but has less open questions, IMP has bigger and more open problems, but not as much with technology or abstraction, Discovering is good for applications and technology, and I usually make up my own reflection questions). Students have access to a spreadsheet listing content objectives and links with descriptions/practice problems for each one. I also loan out reference textbooks to students who want more review/practice and like a textbook more than online resources.Anna Blinsteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13960574914938362477noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8537494321067959493.post-42239199991464984152015-11-20T00:22:37.577-08:002015-11-20T00:22:37.577-08:00As part of my ongoing conversation with Dylan Kane...As part of my ongoing conversation with Dylan Kane, I am working on a post on HW, problem sets and spiraling. I really like what you are doing here and was wondering: How do you generate/find problems? Have you collected a giant bank? How do you sort through/decide what students should Review, Reflect On, or Reach For? Do students have any HW assistance resources outside of class time with you?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
