Math Update

This week, students in all four math classes will take the Geometry Unit assessment. As this unit wraps up, we are planning for our final unit of the year - Algebra. Students will take a pretest for this unit at the end of the week. We will structure the final math unit differently than the previous units. Instead of splitting students between the four classrooms, students in Ms. Dierbeck's class and my class will be team taught by Ms. Dierbeck and myself. We will still analyze data from pretests and MAPS tests to establish an understanding of student background knowledge - this will not change. In addition, students will still work through the various stages of Math Daily 5. We hope to begin this unit next week after the first round of MAPS testing.
