I’m not going to lie. \u00a0It was disappointing that my students so easily fell for\u00a0Dan Meyer’s\u00a0Popcorn Picker<\/a> problem today. \u00a0A *very* small subset of students realized that, just because the sheets of paper had the exact same area, this did not translate to the cylinders having the same volume. \u00a0It took awhile for students to even connect that filling-with-popcorn related to filling-the-3-D-space-with-popcorn.<\/p>\n

They definitely were duped by this image. \u00a0The photos\u00a0seemed to confirm to them that their wrong thinking wasn’t wrong. \u00a0They fell for every trick today!<\/p>\n

Using Nearpod<\/a> to gather and share student responses was a boatload of fun. \u00a0They were SO engaged and excited! \u00a0But in the end, even after seeing Dan’s Act 3 video, they were skeptical. \u00a0At this point the lesson turned into more of a direct instruction experience.<\/p>\n

*I* talked them through using the circumference to find the radius of the base.<\/p>\n

*I* proceeded to find the area of the base of the first cylinder using our newly found “r”.<\/p>\n

*I* found the volume of the first cylinder using our newly found “B”.<\/p>\n

Then, *they*\u00a0referenced my math-teacher-y structured work and found the volume of the second cylinder.<\/p>\n

The energy was there. \u00a0The engagement was there. \u00a0The curiosity was there.<\/p>\n

The correct math was not there.<\/p>\n

Perhaps doing more of these tasks will help. \u00a0So, I’m doing a different task tomorrow. \u00a0We’ll see how it goes.<\/p>\n

Click the link below to see\u00a0some pages from the Nearpod report from one of the classes today. \u00a0I’m so glad I was able to capture these responses. \u00a0No students can opt out of the 3-Act process when they’re held accountable in this way… not that they would want to opt out! \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
