Class Topics: 09.17.12

In Math Six today, students received their Unit One Summative Post-test back.  Mr. Giomini discussed some of the class' accomplishments and some of our falters on the assessment.

Students then worked on Khan Academy to practice skills that they will see on tomorrow's Unit Two Formative Pretest.  The front-loading of material will hopefully trigger some concepts from years past.
Today's Learning Intentions: The student will be able to...
  1. reflect on their Unit One Summative Post-test.
  2. review skills for tomorrow's Unit Two Pretest by completing various Khan Academy Skill  
For Evening Practice, it is suggested that students...
  • complete the Khan Skills from class today.
Great video for Scientific Notation!!!

In Pre-Algebra today, students received back their Chapter Two Formative Pretest from last Friday.  Students explained what they noticed about adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing integers from four of the Khan Skills from last week and over the weekend.

Mr. Giomini then modeled how to both add and subtract integers.  These two skills are addressed in Lesson 2-1 and 2-2 in the Pre-Algebra textbook. Once modeling was completed, students used Active Expressions to practice their integer skills.  During the activity, Mr. Giomini was able to clarify student misconceptions.  
Today's Learning Intentions: The student will be able to...
  1. add integers without the use of a calculator.
  2. subtract integers without the use of a calculator.
  3. apply their new skills to real-world problems.
For Evening Practice, it is suggested that the student...
  • complete the assignment in their textbook and submit their answers on the Google Form.  (Click Here!)
