  3. Course Sequence • Math/Science or Business

  4. Math/ScienceCourse Sequence Math 8 → Algebra → Geometry → Algebra II → Trigonometry

  5. BusinessCourse Sequence Math 8 → Algebra → Geometry → Algebra II → Finite

  6. Common Core Standards for Math 7 Geometry Statistics and Probability Ratios and Proportional Relationships Rational Numbers (Number System) Percent and Proportional Relationships Expressions and Equations

  7. What Will Students Be Doing in Math Class? Students will be Active Learners by: • Asking Questions • Monitoring there own progress • Making a plan for learning • Applying math to real life • Being able to justify their answers and communicate mathematical ideas • Using resources such as textbooks, media, teacher produced worksheets and manipulatives

  8. What Will Students Be Doing in Math Class? Students will be Active Learners by: • By working as: • Individuals • Pairs/Partners • Groups • Large Groups (class)

  9. Materials One-inch 3 Ring Binder ( JUST FOR MATH ) Also, 5 dividers so students can stay organized

  10. Materials Pencil (mechanical preferred) and Pen (grading only) for every class day I supply lead for all students. (0.5, 0.7, 0.9)

  11. Materials Comp Book (I purchased) for students must be in class everyday

  12. Learning Logs Learning Logs are in the back of the room and are to be kept in class… in fear they will never come back

  13. Learning Logs • A list of all of the learning targets for the unit. • I can” statements • Students record scores from Quick Checks and Exit Slips on their Learning Target Logs • Quick Checks and Exit Slips are like “Quizzes” • Students will then make an “Action Plan” that will increase knowledge to mastery.

  14. Action Plans • Action Plans are made up of many things it is up to the student to decide what will help the student get to mastery of the content. • Action Plans can include: • Teacher made worksheets • Internet website/App help • Tutoring • Annotated Notes (Flash cards, bubble maps, etc) • Other… • Whatever the student thinks will help them achieve mastery

  15. Action Plans • This helps students, teacher, and parents to know which of the learning targets a student has mastered and which ones he/she needs to practice. • Students should write down their plan in their time tracker to insure parents are aware of the action plan.

  16. Assessment Students’ grade will be based on scores received on unit assessments. Homework will count towards Work Habits grade.

  17. Assessment • Quick Checks and exit slips will be graded as follows (usually the student grades their own quick check):

  21. Helping your child be successful • Check in with your student about Action Plans encourage them to review material that they do not have a strong understanding in. Look at Quick Checks to see what needs to be completed. Check math notebook; ask what your child is learning Encourage your child to have a positive attitude about math Help your child to see how math is used in everyday life Communicate if there is problem

  22. Helping with Homework • Students should only be working on homework that has already been taught in class. However, they still sometimes get stuck. Help them to be responsible for their own learning. Feel free to help and guide! • Suggested Prompts: • Tell me where you are stuck • Tell me what you’ve done so far • What do the directions say? • Are the similar problems you can look at? • Are there some websites to look at?

  23. Helpful Math Websites • Khan Academy – tutoring videos on a wide variety of topics • Sumdog – Math games – students can pick the skill they want to practice and login as a guest for free • Ixl.com/math – Math skills practice – students can select the skill they want to practice, but limited to 20 questions per day as a guest • Aplusmath.com – flashcards for reviewing basic math facts

  24. Thank you! Thank you for attending back to school night. Don’t forget to sign in.
