I67 Independent Study

I

Here is what you need to do:

1. Watch one of my G67 (Grade 6 and 7) videos on a specific 7th grade target on my YouTube channel.  Complete the "pause problems" and the "ticket to the show" as directed in the video.

2. Download the corresponding worksheet from the files the G67 worksheets folder below. I don't think you need to complete every problem on the worksheets.  However, I do think you need to spend 40 to 45 minutes practicing what you learned in the video. The more you put in to this opportunity, the more you will learn.

3. Bring the video work and practice page to me during my drop-in office hours after school. (See Calendar below.) I will give you the code for a 4 question online quiz.  This quiz must be completed at school under my supervision. You will need to show your work-steps on each quiz in your notebook. As soon as you complete the quiz, you will get the results. I can't predict how many kids will show up on any given night for office hours. However, I hope I will have time to answer questions and do some on-the-spot teaching.

Notes about I67:

E67 and G67 What's the Difference?

Over the summer I took a group of kids willing to attend the summer academy and taught them chapters one and three of 6th grade math. Our summer work opened up an additional 32 days of instruction during the school year that could be spent on 7th grade standards. These students are in now in my G67 section of math. This year they will work their way through the G67 series of instructional videos I made this summer.  E67 students have the opportunity to work through same videos independently.

Who should try Independent Study I67?

Sixth graders' first priority is to master the 6th grade day-to-day math curriculum. If a student is in good standing academically and would like an additional challenge, s/he can work on the I67 independent enrichment targets and videos.

What else?

Students need experience applying their math skills in problem solving situations. I have included a set of 200 word problems from the Math Masters program below. These problems will require students to combine their target knowledge and higher order thinking skills. I have also included the solutions.
