[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 628126, member: 1967"] I never have time to show movies because my curriculum is jammed packed and we are still teaching new material up to the final exam. However, our AP Calculus teachers show a movie the the last week because the AP tests are usually a week or two before the end of the school year. There is no point trying to do anything new as the kids are emotionally and physically spent by then. I remember my easy child telling me that she was watching a movie in her Calculus class at the end of the year. I had absolutely no problem with it. The teacher and students worked really hard all year learning college level Calculus. I saw nothing wrong with allowing a little fun downtime at the end of the year. by the way, every student in her class made 4's and 5's on the AP test. One other thing . . . most of the students have seen the good movies related to math content long before they get to high school. I remember once long ago telling my students that I was going to show them Stand and Deliver. They groaned and said that they had seen it every year in middle school. I think it really depends on the situation. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
