So...apparently, I did not save ANYTHING that I did for the first quarter last year. I don't know if it's because I was so overwhelmed by being at a new school or I just had lost my mind, but I am finding that I have to recreate all of my Quarter I materials. That being said, I decided to revamp how I am teaching Integers this year. My math class this year is made up of ALL special ed., ESOL, and generally "low" math students. I am going to have to slow down and spell it out more for them then I have done in the past. I am hypothesizing this is going to be a challenge for me. I generally go fast in my teaching, and I know I can't do that this year.
I have provided
a copy of the integers guided notes that I will begin with this year. I try to always include test questions that they might see so that the students can get used to the way a question is asked. The new big push for our county is Technology Enhanced Questions...so open ended, performance tasks, and multiple answer questions. Our kids did HORRIBLE with this last year...SO as you see my future guided notes you will see a lot more of those types of questions.
