Instructional Style and Strategies
We will be learning many algebraic concepts this semester. It is important to learn these methods of mathematics because it helps use develop critical thinking skills. I will be conduction one-on-one conversations with each student to make sure they are hitting each of their goals. I will be using differentiated teaching methods and different methods of assessment do to the fact that not all students learn the same way.
Strategies
Differentiated Instruction- This is the most important because every child learns in a different way and I might change the way I teach a lesson for certain students so they are able to understand a concept.
Guided Notes- Students will be able to learn new material independently while I explain step-by-step instructions on how to solve a problem depending on the type of mathematical concept students are learning.
Setting Goals- Setting attainable goals will help boost student confidence to achieve a better desired grade.
Formative Assessments
Exit-slips- After each class, I will have the students answer a question about the material they learned that day. Students will also be able to write down what they struggled with to help me understand where there need more instruction.
Quizizz.com- We will have a review every other Friday to recap what we have learned throughout each lesson.
Tests & Quizzes- Tests and quizzes will be given throughout each unit. Quizzes are used to help students and teachers understand student progress throughout the unit.
Classwork will be given almost daily after notes for the lesson have been completed. Students must SHOW ALL WORK. Classwork will be graded for accuracy. Missing classwork can be turned in with a 10% grade penalty and will will be accepted up until the day before the unit test it pertains to.
Homework will be given when classwork is not completed in class. Students are expected to SHOW ALL WORK. This means that all work should be shown neatly and in a logical manner. Homework may be checked in for completion or accuracy. Missing homework can be turned in with a 10% grade penalty and will be accepted up until the day before the unit test it pertains to.
