Hi Dan, I am currently a senior at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign majoring in Mathematics and minoring in Secondary Education. As someone who is new to teaching, I believe these ideas of having student’s mathematical ideas on the walls are refreshing! I feel like this is a great idea because high school students seem to take a lot of pride in their work and this allows the students for a space in school where they can safely exemplify their ideas. Very great way to promote mathematical learning on the first day as well!

I reckon you start how you intend to continue.

Like that expression. Don't set false expectations for the year —Â either in the direction of exuberance or tedium.

In reply to Dan Meyer. Hi, Dan. Is your Feltron Project inspired by Nicholas Felton? I'm just curious where the name comes from. Thanks!

I don't set a message that we will be doing fun things as a priority, because that's not how I teach. I do a fairly standard lesson and then do a small activity at the end of the first day, because that's what they can expect through-out the year. I want to set an expectation that we will do Maths as priority right from the go. I also don't spend 20 minutes telling them what I expect and what the rules are, because that's also not what I will do in most class times.

Thanks for the ideas, everybody. Along with some tweets I grabbed and pushed into the main post, I’m sure they’ll help teachers looking to create classrooms with their students.
