=Weekly Point of View... (Thursday, May 5, 2011)= Teachers in attendance: Byrum, Whitlock Where are you on your long-range plans, pacing, and content standards? We have completed Chapter 11 (2-3 Dimension Figures) for Pre-Algebra and are now beginning Chapter 12 (Geometry and Measurement). We're wrapping up Chapter 8 (Linear Equations) for Advanced Pre-Algebra by the end of this week and will begin Chapter 9 (Real Numbers and Right Triangles) next week. We are also using PASS practice problems as our daily warm-up and review for this week and next week PASS test for math is on Wednesday, May 11. We also discussed our 7th grade integrated unit ("Oh, the Places You Will Go!") that will be conducted the week after PASS testing (week of May 16). Students will be planning a trip to the country of their choice, schedule their flights, hotel reservations, budget their expenses, calculate exchange rates of currency, and create a brochure detailing their travel experience. Social Studies, Math, and Language Arts teachers are collaborating to plan and implement this unit. We're beginning to plan for the weeks following PASS testing and our integrated unit. Some activities include: constructing 3-D origami cubes, constructing polyhedra, tellesslations, a variety of coordinate grids and logic puzzles, Comments ~ Concerns ~ Needs I would like to continue teaching single-gender classes for next year (pre-algebra and advanced) We would also like to explore the possibility of using Aleks next year with all our classes in math. Still interested in having MVP classes for math and language arts for 7th grade next year. *** We still need more workbooks for for new students.**
