Math Schedule for 4 th quarter:

1. Math Schedule for 4th quarter: • 9:00 – 9:15 Whole Group Math Lesson - this can vary but usually will include: • A study jam that has a visual explanation of the concept and then a real life application problem; • Further teacher direction and modeling; • Doing a few of the problems from their seatwork together. • 9:15 – 9:30 Individual seatwork - this can vary but usually will include: • Individual seatwork at level 0 • I walk the room helping those who need one and one instruction. • 9:30 – 10:15 Group Rotations - this can vary but usually will include: 15 minutes each rotation Technology – IXL.com (sometimes they are given an area to work on, other times they may work anywhere in the 6th and 7th grade.) AIMS Prep – They work in the AIMS booklets on a given page as a group of with a partner, they may choose other pages or their seatwork if they finish that page before time is up. Mrs. G – The group comes to the table or carpet and I work with them one on one or as a group on the seatwork. They are allowed to get their snack before our last rotation and eat it as they work through the last rotation.

2. Review and Test Days Review Days Test Days This day is of course different than other days in math. Many times we will do a few refresher problems and then the test is handed out and they go to work. They are given all the time they need. The students who finish have things that they have been told they can do while others are still testing. • On review days we will work as a whole class. Some of the review methods are… • We will play jeopardy with questions similar to the ones on the test. • We will work through the problems on the pre-test together. • There will be a pre-test that is sent home on review day. This is for them to study or practice. It is extremely similar to the test. It is not required to be turned in but they may do it and check their answers before the test.

3. ALL MATH FOR THE WEEK IS DUE ON FRIDAYS • Any Math we do each week is due on that Friday or the last day of the week if we are off on Friday. • They have a list of the items due in math on the board starting on Monday. • It is their responsibility to work when they are given time to work. • Math at this level may require that they take it home to finish; but most of the students that work when they are suppose to finish all of their work at school. • The more they do actual problems on a concept the more solid they will get on that concept. • Extra intervention sheets can be found and printed off of Mrs. Clapham’s website under math; the students can do these at anytime . • IXL.com and other math sites are also helpful in establishing strong basic math skills. • What you put into math you will get out of it!
