  1. Welcome! Back to School Night 2013/2014 Honors Geometry Alycia Clarkson Room O-203

  4. Who am I? What do I do? • BIOLA University • BS in Math 1997 • MA in Education 2001 • National Board Certification 2003 • Department Chair • Trainer for Geometry Teachers for LA and Orange county • Math Coach • Prescriptive Teaching

  5. Main Goal • Get your kids to reason, analyze, problem solve, compare, predict, prove……. -Not just regurgitate-

  6. How? Textbook looks different….. • Read math- problems imbedded • Write math- explain answers in words • Discuss math- in teams and with whole class • Remember- Problems are spiraled so don’t forget how (see again in new situations at a deeper level)

  7. More on teams….. • Students now have multiple resources available to problem solve, the teacher acting as the ultimate resource. • More complex problems can be solved with the help of others. • Teacher can now give more individualized instruction. • If students can explain their understanding, they definitely know it!

  8. Important highlights of Class Expectations • Team Test- Similar to problem solving we do daily… with higher stakes…. Now they HAVE to perform. • No make-ups • (sports absences need to arrange to take theirs before they leave) • Drop the lowest test score each semester • (if missed or messed up) • Homework • Must get questions answered • Will get full credit when they do • Must be done before individual test

  9. Keeping tabs on your child’s progress… What they should be doing: • Assignment sheet • Always in their binder How they are doing: • Assignment sheet • Real time access to grades

  10. How can you help? • Ask questions (on the hand out that is on my website) • Encourage them to ask a friend or me!!! • Tutorial (day pass) • Invest in a private tutor • I will have a list next week!

  11. That’s all folks. Thanks for coming! My normal handout is on MY teacher website along with other goodies. 
