The Virginia softball team's rally at Maryland fell short Sunday afternoon, as the 'Hoos fell 6-5. With the loss, the Cavaliers fell to 12-15 overall and 1-5 in the ACC.
Four Cavaliers had multiple hits, including senior Taylor Williams with three and juniors Marcy Bowdren and Karli Johnson and sophomore Megan Harris with two.
After falling behind 6-1 after four innings, the Cavaliers scored four runs in the fifth. After Bowdren singled and Harris walked, Johnson hit her fourth home run of the season to left-center field. Williams singled to score Lauren Didlake later in the inning to cut the lead to 6-5.
The Cavaliers were able to load the bases in the sixth and move a runner to third in the seventh, but were unable to score against Kaitlyn Schmeiser, who earned the save for Maryland.
Senior pitcher Melanie Mitchell threw a complete game with sixth strikeouts and six runs in six innings, but took the loss to fall to 9-9 on the season.
Up next, the Cavaliers host Boston College in an ACC series March 29-30 at The Park. Friday's doubleheader is scheduled for a 5 p.m. start, while Saturday's single game is set for noon.

On the run
Seahawks grab RB Alexander, OT McIntosh
Posted: Saturday April 15, 2000 08:01 PM
KIRKLAND, Wash. (AP) -- Ricky Watters has a new understudy and the Seattle Seahawks' offensive line has a potential new starting tackle.
In his second NFL draft in Seattle, Seahawks general manager-coach Mike Holmgren followed up his trade of running back Ahman Green by going for Shaun Alexander with the 19th pick in the first round on Saturday.
"When Ricky comes out, I'll go out and try to make big plays," said Alexander, Alabama's all-time rushing leader.
With the 22nd choice, Holmgren went for Chris McIntosh, a 6-foot-7, 317-pound blocking machine for Heisman Trophy winner Ron Dayne at Wisconsin. When Seattle's training camp opens in Cheney in July, McIntosh will compete with Todd Weiner and Floyd Wedderburn for the starting right tackle's job.
"Their reputation at Wisconsin is running the ball and knocking the stuffing out of people," Holmgren said.
The Seahawks went into the draft needing a lot of help after losing eight starters during the offseason, but getting another running back to back up Watters became the team's premier need on Friday.
"I can understand why a team would take a running back over a big tackle," McIntosh said. Holmgren dealt the disappointing Green, who had injury and fumbling problems last season, to Green Bay for promising cornerback Fred Vinson, who will challenge Willie Williams as a starter next season.
In Alexander, he drafted the Southeastern Conference Offensive Player of the Year. The Seahawks won the AFC West title last season, but they were hurt when they made the playoffs for the first time since 1988 after Watters suffered a knee injury in the next-to-last game of the regular season.
Watters was held to 40 rushing yards in Seattle's playoff loss to Miami.
Watters is still the starter in Seattle, but he's headed into his 10th NFL season. Alexander is expected to play a lot more than Green, who had 26 carries last season.
"I would like to have Ricky fresher at the end of the year," Holmgren said. "Ricky is still our halfback, but you need more than one halfback. Ricky's played a long time and I don't know how long he's going to play."
Holmgren didn't think Green had good enough hands to play in his West Coast offense. He likes his quarterbacks to throw to his running backs. Watters caught 40 passes last season.
"Shaun has good hands," Holmgren said. "In our offense, the back has to catch the ball."
Holmgren said he talked to a number of teams about moving up in the first round, but decided against it. He said he even talked to Cincinnati about getting the Bengals' fourth pick.
"We tried everybody, but nobody wanted to move out of there," he said. "I didn't have enough ammunition."
He also thought about trading down before deciding against that, too.
"But it crossed my mind," he said.

Revamp and new CEO for S.League
A revamped S.League and a new Chief Executive Officer were among several key announcements made by the Football Association of Singapore on Friday.
With the new domestic season in Singapore set to start on February 9, Lim Chin, a former Singapore Armed Forces FC chairman, has been installed as the S.League's new CEO, with one-time Etoile FC CEO and chairman Johan Gouttefangeas acting as his deputy.
The duo, under the guidance of FAS President Zainudin Nordin and armed with a 5-year plan, have been tasked to transform the S.League into a more viable business entity and help implement a raft of changes aimed at increasing the S.League's quality and attractiveness both on and off the pitch.
Speaking of his appointment and the need to boost the S.League's profile throughout Singapore, Mr Lim said: "I am honoured to join an organisation that has gained recognition and stature both regionally and internationally. I am grateful that we have secured additional financial resources for the clubs over the next five years, as well as introducing the new initiatives aimed at boosting the Great Eastern YEO'S S.League in 2012.
"One of my immediate priorities is to explore ways to increase match-day attendance and revenue streams. I look forward to meeting and working closely with our stakeholders including the FAS, club chairmen, sponsors, advertisers, media, volunteers and fans as we aspire to raise the standard of our professional league."
Mr Gouttefangeas added: "I am privileged to be appointed as the Deputy CEO and I look forward to tapping my extensive network of contacts in Europe, Australia and Asia and recommend quality foreign players to our S.League clubs.
"There are exciting times ahead and I urge all football-loving Singaporeans to stand united and come forward to support the S.League. I am excited to take on the challenges ahead and I look forward to working closely with Mr Lim and other members of the management team."
In a plan dubbed S.League Version 2.0, Singapore's elite division is set to feature two more foreign teams for the 2012 season, with the debut of Malaysia's highly talented Harimau Muda side, as well as the return of Brunei's DPMM FC.
The duo, along with the 12 other teams in this year's S.League, will now only play two rounds instead of the usual three, with games to be played on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.
Further outlining the FAS' determination to continually improve, Mr Zainudin revealed that S.League teams will be allowed to sign four foreign stars, with the potential to add a marquee signing whose salary would not have to adhere to the league's current salary cap. A subsidy for young foreign players will also be available.
"We must believe in this product and support it. Singaporeans must see value in their own product which is the S.League," Mr Zainudin declared.
Mr Zainudin also paid tribute to outgoing CEO Winston Lee.
"Under Winston's stewardship as CEO for the past five years, the S.League has progressed well and it is now firmly established as one of the top professional football leagues in Asia. Despite the constraints and challenges facing Singapore football Winston has done well to strengthen the S.League in all aspects."

Patapum Toddler Carrier
" We got this carrier because at 6 months my daughter was 22 pounds, and we knew we would want to carry her past the weight limits of some of the other carriers. I used this carrier until she got to be tall enough to hit the back of my knees with her feet, which was at around 3.5 years old. I could still carry her in it at this point, but it would be kind of funny. Both..." --AdinaL

Did God Have Any Choice When He Made the World?
Theological ideas about divine freedom and human reason were important reasons for adopting an intellectually modest, empirical approach to nature during the Scientific Revolution. The common picture of ongoing, inevitable conflict between science and religion is not only false, but perverse, for it prevents us from seeing the kinds of deep connections [between the two].
Evolution, Chance, and God
The affirmation of genuine chance and randomness in the universe does not rob the universe of meaning and purpose.
From the Dust: From Chaos to Order
With From the Dust, it was our goal to help Christians see the complexity of the issues raised by modern science, as well as help them to courageously engage with the theological conversations happening within the sphere of Christian culture today.
God's Extravagant Love in Creation
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
Conversing With Our Children about Creation and Evolution
We are often offended that God should have to accomplish anything in steps, as though that made him less divine and all-powerful. But engaging a child can be a fruitful remedy for the biases that have been woven into the fabric of our thinking over time.
Series: Searching for Motivated Belief (12 entries)
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
Miracles are Impossible, Part 1
People who believe in miracles usually don't think of them as God's "breaking" the laws of nature but as God's being constantly attentive to his cosmos.
Series: Understanding Randomness (5 entries)
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
Evolution Basics: Darwin's Early Observations on Biogeography
For Darwin, both of these observations (that oceanic islands lacked terrestrial mammals, and that endemic species on islands were most similar to a species on the closest mainland) had the same explanation: his hypothesis that endemic, oceanic species were the modified descendants of a colonizing species from the nearest continent.
Hydrology of the Bow River
There's a word beneath the water, and the Bow River belongs to God. Have you been listening?
Series: God and Creation (5 entries)
In this four part series, David Opderbeck explores the interesting relationship between God and his creation. He first looks at his transcendence over the material world. In one respect, God is completely distinct from all creation, yet he is also immanent, or present within all creation. Another aspect of God reflected in creation is his Triune nature. Just as love, fellowship, and delight exist within the Trinity, so these characteristics are present in the world, and experienced by humans. He completes his thoughts with a discussion about God's interaction with humans.

Where are the Transitional Fossils?
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Series: Decoding ENCODE (8 entries)
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
Denisovans, Humans and the Chromosome 2 Fusion
The Denisovans, an extinct hominid group that interbred with modern humans, made the news again lately with the publication of a more detailed study of their genome. One of the many interesting findings was that the Denisovans share the same chromosome 2 fusion that modern humans have.
Did David Hume "Banish" Miracles?
"I flatter myself," Hume triumphantly proclaimed, "that I have discovered an argument . . . which, if just, will, with the wise and learned, be an everlasting check to all kinds of superstitious delusion, and consequently, will be useful as long as the world endures."
Series: Divine Action in the World (5 entries)
In this talk, Professor Plantinga addresses the fact that many contemporary thinkers—including many theologians—believe that God cannot perform miracles, providentially guide history, or interact in the lives of people, as these activities would be contrary to science. Plantinga, on the other hand, makes the case that this popular view is mistaken; excluding divine action in the world is not a central feature of natural science itself, but a philosophical or theological preference that has been added on to science (and can just as readily be removed). Plantinga concludes that it is completely logical to accept the miracles of the Bible and support contemporary science.
The Randomness Project
It is not uncommon to hear voices proclaiming that biology and physics have shown us that—at fundamental levels—nature is random, hence meaningless, purposeless, and without a creator. But how might God work providentially through indeterminate processes? The John Templeton Foundation has provided a generous grant of $1.69 million to support a new research initiative on the theme of Randomness and Divine providence.
David Lack and Darwin's Finches
Considering the immense popularity of "Darwin's finches", it is quite surprising to learn that Charles Darwin himself had very little to say about them. In fact, it was actually David Lack, one century later, who conducted the critical research that immortalized the finches in biology textbooks and popular lore.

Erin go sober: More Irish people pushing for an abstemious St. Paddy's Day
Is a sober St. Patrick's Day an oxymoron?
Some Irish New Yorkers, revolted by the displays of public drunkenness and eager to abolish the stereotype of Celts in their cups, are pushing for just that.
Last year, almost 500 people attended an after-parade "Sober St. Patrick's Day" party at Regis High School on the Upper East Side. This year, the family-friendly event, offering fiddle champions, comedians and step dancers, will be repeated (on Saturday, after the parade) and a sister event has bloomed in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Sponsors here -- which include PepsiCo and several rehab centers -- hope world acceptance, if not domination, is afoot.
The movement to sober revelry seems a trickle, compared to the hundreds of thousands of people who pour into midtown for the parade, many with alcohol in hand, and others who pound back brewskis in the bars. Yet, "I really think this could spread across the country," said Malachy McCourt, the Upper West Side writer, actor and advocate of the idea. St. Patrick's Day "should be a celebration of Irish culture; of the words, the literature and the music," and not an excuse to get "ossified," said McCourt, who is now writing a book called "I Never Drink When I'm Sober."
The event was kicked off in 2012 by television producer William Spencer O'Reilly, who said in a statement he didn't begrudge anyone not recovering from alcoholism having a drink or two: "We're just against the practice of some people using the holiday as an excuse to get drunk."
NYPD stats confirm that some see the day as a license to swill. Last year, March 17 fell on a Saturday, and 599 people were cited for public consumption of alcohol in Manhattan, whereas only 82 people were cited the Saturday before, March 10. A total of 113 disorderly conduct summonses were issued and 47 people were arrested for assault in the borough last March 17, as opposed to 72 disorderly conduct summonses and 22 assault arrests on March 10.
This is the second year that Hoboken has ditched its St. Patrick's Day parade due to complaints the event had turned into a bacchanal. Mayor Dawn Zimmer said she wanted the parade -- traditionally held on a weekend -- moved to a Wednesday, but sponsors declined to shift the date. In its place, local boosters organized a pub crawl they call "Lepre-Con."
Surprisingly, even Irish bartenders applaud the shift in emphasis to non-intoxication, despite the fact that the day is one of the best in the year -- if not the best -- for raking in money. The day that originally honored the introduction of Christianity to Ireland does booming business, "but I wish it wasn't known for the alcohol," said Kieran Finnegan, 49, manager of an Irish bar in midtown who hails from Sligo. "It gives us a bad rap. The day is abused in America, with all the kids getting drunk."
Inebriation is associated with car accidents, arrests, domestic violence and all manner of mayhem that hardly burnishes Irish pride, Finnegan complained.
Of course, there always has to be a sober-party pooper.
A sober St. Patrick's day "is a terrible idea!" said Kevin Wolfring, 21, from Jamaica, Queens. "Part of the celebration is alcohol: It breathes life into the whole thing!" Liquid anesthesia is essential, said the St. John's University student, to tolerate the "boring" parade.
For every group that tries to dry out the day, Wolfring predicted, "there will be a group three times as big that's about being drunk."

Hello MTMs,
The end of the year is almost here, but we have one more posting duty before us. So here goes.
Recently, my wife and I purchased a Docle Gusto single serving cappuccino/latte macchiato machine. It is capsule based and works really quickly and well. Some people call such devices wasteful or extravagant, but I really find its products stimulating, sweet, and enjoyable. This got me to thinking...are there activities that we regularly use in our classrooms that some might think are extravagant or wasteful in terms of time and resources, but we find stimulating, effective and enjoyable to both ourselves and our students? I have one such activity I like a lot.
On the first day of class in Math 1350 (Fundamentals of Mathematics I, i.e. math for pre-service elementary and middle school educators I) I hand out a copy of a worksheet that has five problem solving problems on it. These problems require no more mathematical knowledge than the course prerequisite (college algebra) and are more based on reading and planning than calculations and formulae. I have the students work in groups and ask them to write on the board a carefully worded solution that will stand on its own without verbal explanation. After each group has their solution on the board, the class rotates clockwise one problem (a detail they were unaware of earlier) and this is the work they must use to present the solution to the class. Frequently, students find missing details or are completely lost as to how to follow the solution on the board. We then have a discussion on completeness of solutions and try the process again. The second solutions are usually much more carefully worded and presented. I find this effectively demonstrates how much detail and clarity is needed in a solution without my needing to be excessively verbose. I am including, as an attachment, a pdf of the worksheet I use.
So here is the discussion topic.
Describe an activity that you regularly use in your classroom that some might think is extravagant or wasteful in terms of time or resources, but you find stimulating, effective and enjoyable to both yourself and your students. The topic can be one you use at any point in the year.
Thanks folks and I look forward to reading about your activities.
p.s. When you are at ME by the SEa, feel free to stop by and say hello. I will be presenting "32,768 Hamburgers And Other Peculiar Applications"
I have an activity that I always do with my 5th and 6th graders from Day1 to the 5th Six Weeks of every school year, and that is reviewing the Fact Famiies of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. I usually do this everyday for about 15 minutes, varying my activities form board work to paperwork to contests individually or groups . Some teachers commented that it is a waste of time because they should have memorized them already by the 3rd and 4th grade levels. Well, I believe that if students know their facts by heart, that is with FLUENCY, all the other operations and math lessons will be easy for them. Also, contests, oral work, written work on these fact families ae fun! They are good wam-ups, make the students happy and keep them "rolling" till the end of our Math lesson of the day. They look forward to getting little rewards for correct answers , like a pencil, or a candy, or a bag of chips, or a pen. These small activities , though a waste of time for some, motivate my students to keep on memorizing their facts (students these days do not memorize stuff anymore because modern technology gives them all in a press of a button!). These activities are also effective especially with our new state test that is timed. If students know their fact families in the four basic operations, not too much time will be wasted in giving the answers when they are multiplying, dividing, adding, or subtracting numbers.
Activity- I have an activity that is used from day one to the last day of school with my first graders:
I have my students name the odd numbers and even numbers daily. I also have the students
do ther calendar every day and go over the days of the week, months of the year and write
the current date explaining if the number is odd or even. We count by 2's, 5's, and 10's.
WE count to 20 orally and write it on paper, then later we count to 100 and write to 100.
We also do flash cards and fact families to help them memorize their math facts.
I also tell them if they forget which numbers are odd and even to make a list like this:
I can tell that school is either out or almost out because my e-mail has been flooded with THinkfinity responses as well as books study responses. Awesome job everyone!
I still teach Pumpkin Math at Halloween! I always find a way to stick it into the curriculum! The students bring in pumpkins of different sizes and take different measurements. On the nextl day, we cut the tops off and they weigh the pumpkins as they "lose weight". (You guessed it, they get to scoop out the guts!) I am always amazed at the number of students who have never gutted a pumpkin. They then use all of the data they gathered to make 3 different types of graphs. On the final day, I bring the pumplkins seeds back up to school, after washing them and soaking them in salt water, and cook them on my electric skillet. The students then get to eat the seeds as they work at their desks. This activity takes almost a whole week out of our curriculum, but the students are all engaged and have a blast! I have been doing this for about 12 years now and I still have former students asking if I still teach with pumpkins! I love to say, "but of course!"
I do something similar with bananas - students weigh the bananas, peel them, eat them, and then weigh the remaining peels. Before the activity, they guess what percent of the banana is peel. Afterwards, they calculate what percent of the total was peel. They really enjoy it.
Happy End of the Year to Everyone! I incorporate as much math as I can during the holidays especially during our Party days. My students like that I incoporate games some they have played otheres they have not. With any game they don't realize they are learning. At Halloween I incorporate Science into probablity. My students roll dice and then make monsters that go with the number they have rolled. This also helps with character traits.
In the Spring, my class made confetti eggs. I had about 5 students that had never done that. They dyed them and filled them.
As a teacher I want my students to take away memories that we had fun in the room. The activities I do in the room helps with social skills as well. I think that is important in every classroom.
I also do a timed multiplication page every other day to help with fluency of math facts.
Every day in math class my students worked on TAKS Target for 5-15 minutes as a review of the TEKS. We also used mad minutes for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division as part of our homework and in class. Finally we practiced flash cards or other games/coloring worksheets that involved students learning their facts through out the school year. Have a wonderful summer vacation all of you! See you in a couple weeks.
I have used the Renaissance Learning "Math Facts in a Flash" program about 3x a week for 15 minutes each time. The students worked on addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts. Their goal is to do 40 problems correctly in 2 minutes. The Benchmark for 2nd grade (which I teach) was all addition facts. All of my students mastered that goal. I even had 5 students complete through the division goal. It was interesting to notice that as the students progressed, they began to see the fact families and understand more of the number relationships. The students also had their own sets of flash cards and would practice them in small groups and take them home to practice.
During the fractions unit, I read The Hershey's Fraction Book. The kids each had their own Hershey bar and we made problems and "saw" the different fractions.... AND they got to eat the candy. It was fun, but a learning experience.
Not on math, but something I did do regularly was incorporate character lessons. It did take some time, but it built relationships and helped the students solve problems with others. It helped to build a "team" feeling in our classroom.
I use target math and go over every problem with the students. I at first did not and waited till jan to start because the students did not have the skills to do the problems on their own in the first semester. Well I decided to start day one and call it my mini lessons. I started to have more commended performance after that so I continued. I have to make sure if the students are not slacking because they will be waiting for me to do the problems for them to just copy so there is alot of observing and pull out when you see a pattern of a student not either understanding the system or they really are struggling with basic skills. I have them take detailed notes also on everything I do I give them a grade for it so they are willing to do it. I have very few that give me a hard time about it. At times it takes up 15 minutes of instruction but I feel its worth it.
I always have a warm-up at the beginning of class with 4 problems that are spiraled from previous units. I will continue to do this as well as a timed facts review to improve fluency. The students enjoy seeing their number of correct answers improve. I also use smartboard games which they really like that go along with the unit that is being worked on at the time.
I agree with most that the use of flashcards and worksheets dealing with facts from addition thru division are considered wasteful and extravagent. I however believe that they are useful, because students need to know their facts in order to be successful in math in general. I also use TAKS target as a sponge activity at the beginning of class. I give them 15 minutes to work on it while I check homework and planners and then we go over the color of the week. At the beginning of the year the students are feeling a little overwhelmed, but by the end they are successful and are confident about answering the questions.
Hi all,
My answer is very similar to Sandra's. Each day I have 5 problems that we use as a review of previous skills...and then we complete multiplication timed tests from Color-coded mulitplication - an activity that I picked up at Me by the Sea a few years ago. The kids enjoy moving through the colors as they learn their facts. See you all next week and I hope you all have a great summer!.
My students have a working breakfast. As they eat their breakfast in the classroom, they work a total of five problems...some of these problems include those that provide a review and sometimes they will get something new. Like Debbie's students we also review our multiplication facts at the end of the day...the children love doing this because it is on powerpoint. Both activities allow my students postitive opportunities to learn.
I love teaching my students sudoku, even when I only taught science. It amazes me how many students struggle with this concept. By third grade they should be able to count to 9 right? But is not the counting that gets them. It is the attention to each row and box that gets them. Some students really love the challenge and they come away from it looking for the challenge in the next lesson. others take longer to get the concept, but they are elated when they complete the first one.
The game I think helps students with their logic is mancala. Students have to "logic" out their next move. They must think several steps ahead to what if, then.
There are several things I like to do in the classroom that some others don't because they do not like to stray away from "the plan". Yes, some are very stressful, but the kids really enjoy and I want them to enjoy. One that I do sporatically is "I have Who Has" and I like it because it reviews them on skills. The other one that I used to refuse to do and gives me a headache is my pumkins around Halloween, like Christian said she does. They all bring in a pumpkin (any size) and we weigh it, measure it, see if it sinks or floats, predict how many seeds (they always think the bigger one has more and they are always wrong), count the seeds, check their predictions, etc. They absolutely love this day and activity, but by the end of the day doing it with two classes I am drained. I have pictures in my journal of this...Some of my autistic kids refused to put their hands in it to get seeds out, but when they saw everyone else having fun they did! ANyway, I am glad I strayed away and do these activites because they really do enjoy them!
My students also have to do I HAVE, WHO HAS cards. I give them a template on the computer and then they have to come up with their own set of 16 - 25 on a particular topic. I feel they learn more by having ownership in the product.
This was a breeze to come up with. My activity would be the Cone Problem. Students cut out 6 to 12 circles of a given radius. They then mark/cut out a central angle (from 15 to 120 degrees, in increments of 15 or 10 degrees). They tape the remaining edges to form a cone. Their job is to determine which size central angle to cut out to maximize the volume. We attack this problem in many ways - measure the volume of rice that each cone has, put that into stat, use regression to determine the best model, and then find the maximum point. We also attack the problem algebraically. It is a one week problem - at least it was with my 8th graders in the past.
I will always incorporate the sciences into mathematics. I have insisted on experimentation and trial/error. Also insisted on "being incorrect" is acceptable and it works.
I do math journal writing in my class. We have one journal assignment per week from the beginning of school. I give the students a prompt and they have to write about it. For example, one prompt I can think of is, "What if there were no zeros in the world? How would our world be different?" or "List all of the ways you can think of that math is used in a fast food restaurant." I give the students the prompt on Monday and it is due on Friday. The students generally do not like the writings at first because it takes a lot of thinking and work, but by mid-year, they love it! They get to share their writings on Fridays. When the idea was first presented to me from a fellow teacher, I thought that it was trivial and took up too much time, but once I started it, I found that it is amazing the insight you gain when you have students write about their math processes. We keep all of the writings in their Math Writing Folder and they get to take them home at the end of the year. They love looking back at all their writings and seeing how much they have grown mathematically and as a writer. It is one of their favorite keepsakes!
We did a castle project this year. It took a couple of weeks and a lot of "resources". The kids loved it and I think it was totally worth the time and resources. I had kids who scraped by calculating the volume, surface area, etc. for their castle. It was worthwhile in my opinion.
We got the TI-nspire calculators with navigator. (Still can't believe it!!!) It has a "Quick Poll". I can send the students a question and they answer it on thier calculator and then we can see the results up on the Smartboard. On Mondays, I liked to ask "What did you do over the weekend?" and on Fridays I liked to ask "What will you do over the weekend?" It didn't take long and it was always fun. A really good bonding experience.
Of course, there were those that had inappropriate answers...They got their calculator taken away!
I've used timed facts, CScope's Spiral Review, A.D.D., and Madd Minute in class. Though some view these as a waste of time, students like the idea of competition with peers and themselves. Some try to beat their last time. One must never give up a chance to allow them practice. They especially like it when it is extended, such as
Around the World with multiplication facts.
M. Villarreal
I have used the triangular cards for multipication /division cards everyday in the morning for 15minutes or at the end of the lesson. The pair student loved doing this. Whoever had the most cards would win. I also used the Mad Minutes worksheets. I also used the multiplication cards by testing each student. They had to answer quick and not use their fingers to get the answers. Students loved to compete with each other. Staff think its a waste of time but Its not. Oh I most forgot I used the Rhyme and Times every Friday Morning. Example: 6X7 Rings for you Put them on all fourty two.
I remember that activity, I was a student of yours!
Everyday I post two or three problems up on the board for the students to warm up their brains. After each student comes up to the smart board and solves the problem, wrong or right, we give that student a classroom cheer. At first, the students are totally mortified, but grow to love this time of cheer. It does take some time and it does get loud. The goal of this ritual is to make all students feel worthy and safe in my classroom. It is not about always getting it right, but more about trying and feeling safe to fail in front of the classroom.
In past years I have done an activity with my students right around Valentine's Day. Each of the students would receive a small bag of M&M's. They would sort them according to color and then figure the probability of taking each color one at a time out of the bag. The students would have to simplify fractions and make probability statements about each color in the bag. We would a then create a graph with their information. Then you get to eat your work. FUN!
I love the tetrahedron kite activity. It usually takes two days to make the kite and then we take an additional day to fly the kite. Many may think this is wasted time. During the process of making the kite we review the properties of triangles, quadrilaaterals, pyramids and similar solids. I make my students figure out where to attach the kite string in order for the kite to fly. We also review angle of elevation while we are flying the kites. My students really enjoy making the kites and flying themis really relaxing. I did not have time for my students to do this project the last couple of years. Thanks to the beginning institute I brought it back and hope to continue to use it every year.
I also like finding the surface area and volume of an ice cream cone. This is another one I have not used the past couple of years. I was able to incorporate it back into my lessons this year.
RE: 6th six weeks required discussion
I also use "mad minute" and "Race Track" for the first quarter of the year. I find that 6th graders are pretty good at multiplication facts but have slipped on addition facts, and more often than not count backwards to subtract. I have also used "I have" cards--have a great resource book for just about any math skill, but I really like the idea of having them make their own. We have 9-week exams, so the day after mine is usually a day to relax a bit but still do math.
For the first nine weeks, I do "Order of Operation Mobiles". In some years, the students create an order of operation problem involving all aspects of PEMDAS, then solve by placing each simplified step on a pencil diagram that gets shorter until the final solution. Writing the expression takes some doing, so when time is shorter I have them draw an expression. The pencils are then decorated and strung together.
I use several activities in the classroom that some people might think is extravagant or wasteful in terms of time or resources but I will only name one. I really like this game I do on the board with the students that deals with multiplication facts. Its kind of hard to explain, but I draw a multiplication table chart on the board and on the right and top I write numbers 0 to 9. Then I put the students in two groups and one by one they have to fill in the chart and that fastest group to fill the chart is the winner. Some teachers tell me why don't you just do the flash cards. I think that is boring and this way it keeps the students active and excited about their group winning. I believe this game is effective and enjoyable to both myself and my students!!!!
This discussion is from the 2011-2012 academic year. Discussions from 2012-2013 will have that in the beginning of their title.
I have an activity that I started with my 5th grades which I believe to be very meaningful to both myself and students. It is a Bell Ringer that students start at the beginning of every class period. I take 5 problems from previous unit assessments that gave them trouble and students spend 5 to 10 min.working on one problem per day after a little reteaching they are able to master. If they get it correct they receive a stamp which later gets tallied as a grade at the end of the week.

For Employers
The Advantages of Offering A Dental Benefits Plan
Dental health is a key factor to preserving one's general health. Employers and other plan sponsors offer dental benefits for a variety of reasons. Offering a dental benefits plan makes economic sense. A frequently overlooked reason for employee absences or poor work performance is dental disease or discomfort. And as every human resources professional knows, days lost can mean money lost. A quality dental benefits plan can aid in the recruitment and retention of employees. Dental benefits are consistently cited as one of the most sought after employee benefits.

Section 6: Accounting for Grants and Contracts
Accounting for Cost Sharing
Effective Date:
Approved By:
Kerry Kennedy, Vice President for Business Affairs
Lenora Chapman, Associate Vice President for Financial Affairs
Last Revised On:
For Assistance Contact:
Director, Grants and Contracts Financial Services (210)458-4229
Assistant Vice President for Financial Affairs and University Controller
Cost sharing refers to that portion of a sponsored program's costs not borne by the sponsoring agency. Either the university or a third party may contribute cost sharing to a sponsored agreement. This document will address five categories of cost sharing:
Voluntary Committed
Salary Cap
Voluntary Uncommitted
Minimal Committed Faculty Effort
The procedures for recording cost-shared expenditures in the university's accounting system will be outlined.
OMB Circular A-110, "Uniform Administrative Requirements for Grants and Agreements with Institutions of Higher Education, Hospitals and Other Non-Profit Organizations" details the criteria which must be met for a contribution to be accepted as cost sharing:
Verifiable from the university's records.
Not included as contributions for any other federally assisted project or program.
Necessary and reasonable for proper and efficient accomplishment of project or program objectives.
Allowable under the applicable cost principles.
Not paid by the Federal Government under another award, except where authorized by Federal statute to be used for cost sharing or matching.
Provided for in the approved budget when required by the Federal awarding agency.
Conforms to other provisions of Circular A-110, as applicable.
Table of Contents
A. Accounting Treatment
1. Mandatory and Voluntary Committed Cost Sharing
A separate companion account for each sponsored agreement will be established within the same fund group as the source of cost sharing funds. These types of cost sharing must be readily identifiable in the university's financial records.
2. Salary Cap Cost Sharing
If a sponsor imposes a specific salary cap, the university will not charge the sponsor above that rate but will treat that salary portion as committed cost sharing. The salary will be charged to the separate companion account.
3. Minimal Committed Faculty Effort
A single 14 account, classified as research, will be used in each Department to capture all faculty/senior researcher appointments in response to this requirement.
4. Additional cost sharing types
For the following types of cost sharing, no formal accounting entries will be made:
Voluntary Uncommitted Cost Sharing
In-Kind Contributions: Non-cash contributions provided by the university or third parties.
Non-Recovery of Facilities and Administrative Cost: To use non-recovery or under-recovery of F+A as cost sharing generally requires the sponsor's approval in advance.
B. Process
On the Internal Notice of Award, the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) will clearly identify the type of cost sharing being incurred and will forward the account number for the source of the cost sharing to GCFS. OSP will also provide a line item budget and time line, along with the authorization from the owner of record to use the account.
GCFS will create cost sharing accounts as needed, initiate budget transfers to establish the new cost sharing accounts(s) and provide OSP with the new account numbers.
GCFS will also notify the PI and the account owner that personnel should be re-appointed as necessary and qualifying expenditures, if any, should be transferred to the cost sharing accounts(s). The cost sharing accounts should then be used on a routine basis to capture cost sharing expenses.
OSP will monitor the cost sharing expenditures for allowability and timeliness throughout the life of the project. On a periodic basis, either for the preparation of financial reports and/or during grant close-out, OSP will inform GCFS of the documented cost sharing by forwarding the data in an Excel format. GCFS will update the documented cost sharing on CA3, Screen 9.
GCFS will report cost sharing to the sponsoring agencies as required by the terms and conditions of the grant or other agreement.
GCFS will terminate the cost sharing account at the same end date as the associated sponsored program account.
C. Accounting Requirements
All cost sharing expenses must be treated in a consistent and uniform manner in proposal preparation and in the financial accounting and reporting of these expenses to sponsors.
Funds for cost sharing may come from gifts, operating budget accounts or other department designated funds.
Funds from another federal award may not be used as cost sharing unless authorized by statute.
Funds from non-federal awards may be used as cost sharing only when specifically allowed by the non-federal sponsor.
Cost sharing accounts may not be in a deficit at the end of the fiscal year. Funds must be transferred in to the cost sharing account rather than expenditures transferred out to resolve the deficit.
Mandatory Cost Sharing
Required by the sponsor as a condition of obtaining the award. Mandatory cost sharing must be specified in the proposal; otherwise, the proposal will not receive consideration from the sponsoring agency.
When an award is received in which mandatory or voluntary committed cost sharing was proposed, the cost sharing becomes a binding commitment which the university must identify, monitor, track and report as part of the performance of the sponsored project.
Voluntary Committed Cost Sharing
Cost sharing that is not required by a sponsor, but is nevertheless pledged in the proposal or subsequent communication with the sponsor. This type of cost sharing is often used to reflect accurately the total resources necessary to complete a project.
When an award is received in which mandatory or voluntary committed cost sharing was proposed, the cost sharing becomes a binding commitment which the university must identify, monitor, track and report as part of the performance of the sponsored project.
Salary Cap Cost Sharing
Results when an individual's institutional base salary exceeds a sponsor's salary cap. UT System Administration Policy UTS163 (Guidance of Effort Reporting Policies) states that "The prorated excess is a form of mandatory Cost Sharing that must be funded by an appropriate and allowable source."
Voluntary Uncommitted Cost Sharing
Faculty-donated additional time above that agreed to as part of a sponsored agreement.
Minimal Committed Faculty Effort
OMB Circular A-21, Clarification Memo M-01-06 (dated 01/05/01), states "If a research sponsored agreement shows no faculty (or senior researchers) effort, paid or unpaid by the Federal Government, an estimated amount must be computed by the university and included in the organized research base."
