This weeks topic is Tree Maps.
Tree maps are great tools for discussing specifics and details. Students can use them to categorize information and organize details.
Happy blogging!
I did a tree map in math tech 3 while I was covering another teacher's class. The map began with quadrilaterals and branched to parallelograms and trapezoids. The parallelogram branched to rectange and rhombus; the rectangle and rhombus branched to the square. This was a great way to organized a large amount of material - worked great! Thanks Mrs. R.
I used a tree map in my MT3 classes as a means of reviewing our current unit of study. We organized the major concepts of our unit into manageable parts. This seemed to help the kids focus on the areas that they are struggling in within the unit. I am hoping that my upcoming unit test scores will be better than the last chapter as a result of the increased student organization.
Okay,since I did not get last weeks double bubble blog until today I am trying to start this week off better. I have been covering the other MT3 class which Suzy mentioned. With the help of Mrs. Rod, we too completed a tree diagram on quadrilaterals. We included parallelograms, rectangles, rhombus, squares, and trapezoids. We drew the shapes, named them,and listed all the characterists of each of them. The students put these on a large green sheet of paper. This was helpful in working the problems on quadrilaterals. I owe you big Lynn and Suzy. It is great to work with such great people!!!!
I actually have used tree maps in the past for organizing information for geometry. For instance, I have used tree maps to organize quadrilaterals. The first group included parallelograms, trapezoids, and other. I made subgroup under quadrilaterals for rectangles, rhombii, and squares. This helps students to understand how the properties of each of these shapes work.
I plan on using a tree map to classify polynomials with my Algebra 2 class. Given 3 examples, students can re-write the polynomial in standard form, identify the leading coefficient, and classify what type of polynomial the expression is dependent on the degree. I plan to use this as a bellringer the week we come back from spring break.
I used a tree map like Benji with my Geometry students in the past. I also used one this week for my Fast Track Algebra 1 students as a review for our current unit. It helped them organize what we have covered & how to solve the problems out. I hope they use it as a study tool for their test this week.
I plan on using a tree map to review my current unit on system of equations with my fast track students. I believe it will help them organize what we have covered and also it will help them know how to solve the problems (like the different methods). I hope they will look back over it as an extra study tool for their test.
During the course of the year I have used a tree map to classify numbers. Most recently, my students used a tree map to list elements of each type of symmetry for polynomial equations. I like the idea of using tree maps for review as discussed by my peers.
I used a tree map similar to many of you with our unit on Quadrilaterals. It helps the students see the relationships (and properties!) between a parallelogram, rectangle, rhombus, square, trapezoid, and kite. Mission complete.

ReplyDeleteI created a tree map showing the characteristics of a quadratic function. It will be very useful when exam reviews roll around.
