Interactive Virtual Teaching

Sample Pear Deck: 6-12 Math Teaching

Presented by: The UCI Teacher Academy & The Irvine Math Project

UCI Teacher Academy

Goals for today

1. Learn how to use Pear Deck to allow you to see student thinking.
2. Learn how to use Pear Deck to display student thinking to other students so they can interact.
3. With synchronous teaching, learn how to use break-out rooms with Google Doc or Pear Deck slides for student accountability.
4. Consider best uses for synchronous teaching vs asynchronous teacher

Quick Outline

• Experience different slides so you can see what students can/will do.
• Discuss how to present and what TEACHERS see.
• Practice building and presenting one.

Why?

What did you love about face-to face teaching that you are not getting to experience/do now?

Sample Math Lessons (UCI/Conceptual & textbook)

Which of these doesn’t belong?

Conceptual Teaching with Visuals

First quick teaching -Learning the Value of the Tiles

What is the value of 1 negative and 1 positive? Why?

Write the value of each row of tiles next to it.

Representing Numbers (Draw next to each)

1. Show +3 using 7 tiles
2. Show +2 using 4 tiles
3. Show -2 using 10 tiles
4. Show +4 using 8 tiles
5. Show -1 using 7 tiles
6. Show 0 using 6 tiles

Adding Integers with tiles- Concept with visuals

Patterns A & B: Build each pattern with toothpicks, then decide how to build/draw figures 4 & 5. Complete the table and try to determine any patterns you see. Go to student.desmos.com and enter code YWX4GZ. Complete slides 1 & 2

From Area model to Generic REctangles- teach

Use an Area Model to multiply the polynomials- Practice

Textbook Lessons- you can show pics from Lesson plan or website- (you can first show on whiteboard/ doc cam)

Then put in practice (draw slide)- 1-2 problems per slide

1. 3(2x-1)=4x+3

2. -5x + 7 = 3x - 2(4x-1)

Place the following on the number line

End with Formative Assessment

Why is the value of two negative integers, positive?

What about other content areas or things?- Vocab

Asymptote

Highlight or comment on Text (any subject)- e.g. Word Problems. 3 Read. First Read- Circle the rate of change.

Highlight the initial value.

Toby pays _____ for his “start-up” fee at the gym and then pays ____ per month. Write an equation to represent how much Toby will pay after m months.

My Favorite No- Circle What was done CORRECTLY and highlight any errors

Organize a paragraph

Break out rooms with Google Doc Accountability

In your break out room, discuss advantages to what you’ve experienced during this presentation, what concerns you have about using it and what questions you have.

You will be assigned a breakout room number; please complete the table for YOUR ASSIGNED NUMBER. The person with the shortest first name will be the group recorder.

Use this link to access the document to record on.

Considerations...

1. What is best live?
1. Pear Deck to share and discuss student responses
2. Pear Deck to first teach something visual and make sure they can get it.
3. Analyzing student work/explaining thinking
4. Number Talks and/or word problems (decoding language)
2. What about off-line?
• Pear Deck Student Paced (or begin instructor paced and then let them finish on their own)
• Shared google docs in groups/pairs.

How To...

1. Instructor vs. Student Paced (or both when live)
2. How to build
1. Open a google slides
2. Along top row where “file” is, find “Add-ons” and open “Pear Deck for Google Slides Add-ons”. Note- you may need to add this and then you want to complete your account (free now) to get Premium which is needed to drawing slides.
3. Make slides as usual (cut and paste or screenshot PDFs of lessons).
4. Bottom right- choose which BLUE Pear Deck slide to make it (I mostly use text and draw)
5. There is also a “template library”- this is what I used to make a “which one doesn’t belong”
3. How to present
• You have to open Google SLIDES. Then you have to open your add-on again, picking the pear deck add-on. Then you hit the GREEN “start lesson” button near top right (do NOT use the white google slide present OR go to Pear Deck)- just the green start lesson in slides.
• It will ask if you want student or instructor paced.
• You get a teacher dashboard- this is where you can “share responses”

Considerations continued...

Notes:

• If you’re sharing in a live session, first hit “show responses” on your TEACHER DASHBOARD and then share the regular screen (not teacher dashboard- as this will make it anonymous)
• You can open the teacher dashboard on your phone to make it less windows to manage.
• You can begin as teacher paced and then move to student paced after you end a live session. (On dashboard, choose 3 dots to see this option)
• KEEP it SIMPLE to begin- just screenshot a lesson to put 1 problem per page and pick a drawing slide!

How do we See Student Work and Provide Feedback?

Select “3 dots”; Select “Takeaways”

You can open takeaways or share to Google Classroom.

Each student has their own Google Doc that you can share with them, as well as open and make comments on.

Student Response

Closure- Feedback

Please take 1 minute to complete the survey/feedback form in this link or using the QR code.

Need a video refresher: Here is a simple one on Pear Deck:
