Welcome to Middle School mathAlgebra 1, Saxon Courses 2 and 3 Lisa Hageman
Lisa Hageman • From Buffalo, New York • BA in Mathematics and MS in Adolescent Education • Taught in Aurora Public Schools for three years
Social contract 1. How do you want to be treated by me? • 2. How do you want to treat each other? • 3. How do you think I (teacher) want to be treated by you? • 4. How do we want to treat each other when there is a conflict?
Expectations • Supplies/ being prepared (planner) • Homework (neat, showing complete work) • Advocating for yourself
What a typical class looks like… • Power Up/Skills check • Check homework and go over it • Have lots of student involvement (up at the board, pulling sticks, think-pair-shares, giving thumbs) • Exit slips
Homework • Completion • Effort • Showing work • Two HW passes per semester
Exit slips • One or two questions pertaining to the material we covered that day • Most of the time it’s graded • Students have one week to retake a grade of 6 or less for up to half credit • Quick and easy way for teacher to assess students learning
Example exit slip (Algebra 1) • Complete and copy the table. Then write a function rule for the relationship. • Ken burns 425 calories per hour when he bikes. He bikes 3-7 hours each weekend. Identify the independent and dependent variables, and find a reasonable domain and range.
Students are the mathematicians • Explain their thinking • Justify the answer…Is it reasonable? • Explain it to a classmate
Using data to drive instruction • Exit slips • Tests/quizzes • MAPs • TCAP
Differentiation • Fortunately, math classes at SVA are ability grouped • Different math problems in class • Different homework problems assigned (and quantity)
Decorating the room • Student made posters • Covered up during TCAP
