“…when my students go home to engage in math learning, they need one huge thing that Khan Academy doesn’t have- their own teacher’s style, their own teacher’s examples as they relate to prior discussions in class, their own teacher’s process as they think through a problem, they need to see their own teacher mastering technology, mastering online publishing, and just plain being a master.”

I did this lesson on Friday at Lincoln Middle School with 60 8th graders in Meriden, CT for a Discovery Education event. It is around a new song that I wrote called “Newton, First” about Newton’s First Law, Velocity, Acceleration & Momentum - and I have included a number of new resources to the process including video tutorials of me doing the basic dance moves to each part of the song. Check it out and give it a try in your classroom! Check out the lesson plan here.

Special thanks to Brandy Parker for her background vocals!

Elementary teachers: I did this lesson yesterday at Lida Hooe Elementary in Dallas for a Yahoo/Discovery event. It is around a new song that I wrote called “Shake” about solids, liquids and gases - and I have included a number of new resources to the process including video tutorials of me doing the basic dance moves to each part of the song. Check it out! The lesson was incredibly fun to facilitate and I encourage you to give it a try in your classroom! Visit the lesson website.
