yay for making math fun!

one of my precalculus students today told me she was having fun with the lesson today! and she is one who doesn't really like math and works very hard but still struggles to do well.

note to self: having students explore different graphs on their graphing calculator to discover what the different graphs look like and then sketching their own graphs is a good idea!

now i need to find some ways to make my algebra II class fun... i think the anticipatory sets in precalculus and AP physics have improved the environment of the class recently, and i wish i could think of some for algebra II as well. thinking of something that relates to the material is the hard one for this class, partly because i don't know the class interests as well, or their interests seem to be harder things to relate to math.
