Today in class, Mr. Ricke went over the homework with the class that was assigned the last class period. The students had 12 questions about cube and fourth roots, how to solve them and also how to prove them. He went through them orally with the class while the class passed their papers to the left to grade them. With the students grading other classmates work, there was conflict on whether they should of too 1 or 2 points off a problem when they got them back. I think having the students grades each others work is good because it shows them responsibility, honesty and also to follow the work others showed. With using this there could be some dishonesty or conflict between students about grading each other papers. After this, Mr. Ricke went on to the next lesson on Pythagorean Theorem. He questioned the students on what they thought it was and what it involved. He then showed the class a short five minute video on the history of the Pythagorean Theorem, which aided the students on the understanding of it. When teaching the students o the lesson, he used examples, let the students work in group to see how they could figure the problem out and how they could accomplish the problem together.
