Welcome to MathMrs. Stafford Room 313 Period 2 and 4
Modes of Delivery • General Education (Mainstreaming) • Collaborative Model • Direct Model
Direct classes • Working on grade level curriculum at a slower pace • Requires additional guided practice when learning a new concept • Able to take notes with very little assistance • Able to work independently • Good knowledge of basic operations
Interpreting Grades • Grades will be calculated on a traditional scale • 90 – 100 A • 80 – 89 B • 70 – 79 C • 60 – 69 D • Anything under a 60% is failing
Policies and Expectations • Absences • Reminder Binders and Schoolloop • Late Policy • Tests and Quiz Make-ups • HW Passes • Printing
Curriculum for Math 6 • In Grade 6, instructional time should focus on four critical areas: (1) connecting ratio and rate to whole number multiplication and division and using concepts of ratio and rate to solve problems; (2) completing understanding of division of fractions and extending the notion of number to the system of rational numbers, which includes negative numbers; (3) writing, interpreting, and using expressions and equations; and (4) developing understanding of statistical thinking.
Teaching SequenceMath 6 • Compute Multi-Digit Decimals • Find GCF and LCM using the Distributive Property • Solve Word Problems Involving the Division of Fractions • Interpret and Use Ratios and Rates • Write, Interpret, and Use Rational Numbers • Write, Read and Evaluate Expressions
Teaching SequenceMath 6 (continued) • Reason about and Solve One-Variable Equations and Inequalities • Solve Real –World and Mathematical Problems Involving Area, Surface Area, and Volume • Develop and Understand Statistical Variability and Distributions
Curriculum for Math 7 • In Grade 7, instructional time should focus on four critical areas: (1) developing understanding of and applying proportional relationships; (2) developing understanding of operations with rational numbers and working with expressions and linear equations; (3) solving problems involving scale drawings and informal geometric constructions, and working with two- and three-dimensional shapes to solve problems involving area, surface area, and volume; and (4) drawing inferences about populations based on samples.
Teaching SequenceMath 7 • Operations with Rational Numbers • Use Properties to Generate Equivalent Expressions • Solve Two-Step Equations and Inequalities • Analyze and Use Proportional Relationships • Use Proportions to Solve Percent Problems • Draw, Construct, and Describe Geometrical Figures
Teaching SequenceMath 7 (continued) • Solve Problems Involving Area, Surface Area, and Volume • Use Random Sampling to Draw Inferences • Develop, Use, and Evaluate Probabilities
Curriculum for Math 8 • In Grade 8, instructional time should focus on three critical areas: (1) formulating and reasoning about expressions and equations, including modeling an association in bivariate data with a linear equation, and solving linear equations and systems of linear equations; (2) grasping the concept of a function and using functions to describe quantitative relationships; (3) analyzing two- and three-dimensional space and figures using distance, angle, similarity, and congruence, and understanding and applying the Pythagorean Theorem.
Teaching Sequence for Math 8 • Know the Difference Between Rational & Irrational Numbers • Work with Radicals and Integer Exponents • Solve Multi-Step Equations • Define, Evaluate, and Graph Linear Equations • Solve Simultaneous Linear Equations
Teaching Sequence for Math 8 (continued) • Solve Simultaneous Linear Equations • Investigate Patterns of Association in Bivariate Data • Understand Congruence and Similarity • Understand and Apply the Pythagorean Theorem • Solve Problems Involving Volume of Cylinders
Testing • Midterm • Final
Grading • In class/ homework/ assignments = 10% • 10, 7, 5 or 0. • Projects = 10% • Quizzes = 40% • Tests = 40%
