  • If your neighbour is right beside you and you don't know them, how are you supposed to love them?
  • God the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are in relationship and NEED to be in relationship in order for salvation to be possible.
    • God needs to exist in order for Jesus to go to the cross in obedience to cancel out the disobedience of Adam and Eve
    • That relationship is what birthed our ability to spend eternity with the Father.
    • If this is what is modelled through the Trinity, then relationship must be critical.
  • If you don't love what is being sacrificed, is it even really a sacrifice at all?
  • As we take bricks out of the wall, those bricks need to be used to build a bridge.
  • "Go and share the Good News" doesn't mean move to a different seat in the same church/building to share with the same people. It means leave the building and share the Good News, but sharing it in a Good Way. 
  • The Curse of Adam: continuing to stand there in silence and fail to correct others in love
  • As Christians we need to soften bits of ourselves and relinquish some of the power we hold so tightly to. 
Moral of the story: Be in relationship. Love with Big Love.

BCAMT 2023 - What is Extending? - Phil Stringer

 New Reporting Order has been followed up with videos Chris Hunter bit.ly/BCAMT2023 What does "extending" look like in your math classroom? Working in how to calculate using spreadsheets ("if", etc.) Extension is not synonymous with perfection! How do students set up, attempt, demonstrate, etc? We make answer keys with mistakes ALL THE TIME, and we are extending at Grade 9 math! Play with AI or ChatGPT to get extending and synthesizing questions.  WrongMath on Twitter -- collection of photos with bad math @xphils     pstringer@croftonhouse.ca

BCAMT - Peter Liljedahl - BTC: Closing the Lesson

 BTC: Closing the Lesson Consolidating a Lesson Have a conversation Teacher scribe "I've put up three questions from today's lesson, but I may have put them up in the wrong order. What should the order be and why? Turn and talk." Once they've decided and shared, do the questions together. You are scribing , not instructing.  This is the first opportunity for students to notice and name the variation. They get the questions one at a time, so don't really have time to compare and contrast during  the lesson.  [Guided] Gallery walk -- only relevant for a divergent task (every group does it differently and now we can look at all of those different options for solving) Do/Give Some Notes Not everyone wants students to have notes to look back on -- linear progression from K to 12 Notes help PARENTS see what's going on in the classroom.  Because of this, we've become way too obsessed with note HAVING, leading to becoming too obsessed with note TAKING Writing ...

BCAMT 2023 - Helping Students Enjoy Pre-Calculus 11, 12 and Calculus Courses - Ron Coleborn

What does it look like when students are enjoying a course?  The thinking process, as long as we feel confident and have support Getting the thinking and not feeling like we have to know it right away because of a test tomorrow, etc. Assignments, Desmos (activities and regular graphing calculator) Not easy because there is a lot to cover! Presentation Folder Most of the assignments in the folder should take ~4 days, so give a week or so. 1-1.5 class periods, the rest is outside of class.  Contact Ron: ron.coleborn29@gmail.com Seeking to find material that fits into both content and competency - what hits the learning standards as a whole?  Desmos:  Inserting picture and create graphs/points around that Mystery Functions - creating using piecewise functions Desmos Selfie - picture behind and create a graph pic (PreCalc 12 for transformations, could do PreCalc 11 with more simplistic functions) Example 2 Leap Frogs - Quadratics Either with counters and squares or the ...
