Hi and welcome back! I have had some difficulty with the blog but it looks good now.
Last week we did a problem solving exercise in groups. There were 5 activities requiring the students to build structures. Students did well with the tasks and had some fun.
We also set up notebooks with at least the following sections: "Notes"," Vocabulary", and
"Current Work".
Over the summer the decision was made to go with Eureka also known as Engage New York as a math program. The books are coming but have not arrived. Each grade level has a packet to serve as their book and worksheets. These should be in their "Current Work" section.
The 6th and 7th grades are working on ratios. The 8th grade is working with scientific notation and rules for operations with numbers in exponential notation. We are in Lesson 2 on all grade levels and have had our first exit tickets.
It is good to be back! If you have any questions please contact me - sooner is better than later. The year is off to a good start.
