Day 24: Test Summary / Evaluating Expressions

Today in Math 6, students in 1° and 3° reviewed results from the Concept One posttest taken the previous day.  Mr. Giomini posted a graphical representation of the testing data for the students.

Students were encouraged to ask questions if they were unsure as to why they missed a question.  Any questions that were asked pertaining to a question on the assessment, Mr. Giomini modeled on the active board.  A quick check dealing with the distributive property was administered at the conclusion of class.

During Math 6 - 2°, Mr. Giomini continued work with Lesson 1.8: Equivalent Expressions.  Students completed pages 53 and 54 to help build confidence with the skill.  Towards the conclusion of class, students completed the Lesson 1.8 Quick Check for a grade.

Math 6+ Mr. Giomini reviewed Monday's Concept One posttest results with the students.  A box-and-whisker plot was shared with the students to graphical present the class results.  Students were encouraged to make inquires about the assessment during class if they had any unresolved concerns on the assessment. A quick check dealing with the distributive property was administered at the conclusion of class.

Today's Learning Target(s): The student will be able to...

1. simplify algebraic expressions by combining like terms.  (2°)
2. apply the properties of operations to generate equivalent expressions.  (2°)
3. evaluate expressions at specific values of their variables.  (2°)
4. fluently add, subtract, multiply, and divide numbers using the standard algorithm for each operation. (2°)
