Four days ago I wrote this blog post about using Which One Doesn't Belong? as an activity for my calculus classes. I have had a lot of positive feedback about it and along the way Pam Wilson tweeted this:
and that also got a good response. So I decided to take this on. It's a good thing that I'm on March break as this has taken a few (!) more hours than I normally have "free" during the week.
<insert drum roll>
Announcing the Which One Doesn't Belong? website at http://wodb.ca/
I really hope that many of you will contribute to the site (some of my children already have!) as that is the only way it will grow. I plan on having my students create their own and will add them - please do the same with your students.
You can also follow @WODB?Math on Twitter.

To help you create:

Please let me know if there is anything else that would be helpful. Also - I am happy to format submissions if you just send in content.
Yayyy after reading your post I wanted to use this as a bell ringer next year so you read my mind about providing more examples!
ReplyDeleteI use this type of idea in my math classes as part of the warm-up. the kids love it.
