Before I get to today...
Yesterday I woke up sore! Did not feel like going anywhere so I took a lazy day.
Today I taught my second year students. It was the first lesson I taught in Scotland that was something I had taught in Waterloo. So that made it a bit easier. Having students draw tangent lines to a circle is difficult because you have to walk them through how to use a protractor, compass, and ruler. Okay, you don't have to teach them how to use a ruler, but they always forget how to use a protractor! My Scottish students are much better at using compasses than my Waterloo students, though. And most of you have no idea what the heck I'm talking about... but this is a blog about my student teaching math experience -- you should expect this. I also gave them a problem solving activity to do, which was funny because none of them got it. But I think if I give them 10 more minutes tomorrow I will get a few people with the answer. How bout you try it? http://www.mathsisfun.com/logic_puzzle2.html
Rest of day went well. The weather is absolutely "mental". Cold and wet - yuck! I did have a lovely surprise waiting for me when I got back - another job interview! So I have that in about an hour and a half and hopefully I can pull it off! I'd really like a job - I should stop saying that, it's probably getting old. Apologies.
Best thing about my day? I just booked another tour for the weekend. I don't have school Monday so 3 day tour it is! I will be going to Loch Ness, Inverness, and the Isle of Skye with MacBackpackers. Check it out: http://macbackpackers.com/index.php/tour/3_day_loch_ness_and_skye/more
