Teacher Scenario - Math
Teacher Information
5th year teacher
Subject: Math
Post Covid teaching has stressed you and created anxiety in delivering high quality lessons to students who are struggling more and lacking basic proficiencies.
Class Information
5 EC students
2 EL students
Total number of students = 25
Based on the most recent standard taught (addressing summarizing and finding the main idea), 15/25 demonstrated mastery. 5 were within 5 points of mastery. The final 5 were 10-15 points away from mastery.
Elementary: (3rd Grade): Multiply and divide within 100.
NC.3.OA.7: Demonstrate fluency with multiplication and division with factors, quotients and divisors up to and including 10.
Know from memory all products with factors up to and including 10.
Illustrate and explain using the relationship between multiplication and division.
Determine the unknown whole number in a multiplication or division equation relating three whole numbers.
Middle School: (6th Grade): Reason about and solve one-variable equations.
NC.6.EE.7: Solve real-world and mathematical problems by writing and solving equations of the form:
x+p=q in which p,q, and x are all nonnegative rational numbers; and
p.x=q for cases in which p,q, and x are all nonnegative rational numbers.
High School: (Math I): Interpreting Categorical and Quantitative Data.
NC.M1.S-ID.6: Represent data on two quantitative variables on a scatter plot, and describe how the variables are related.
NC.M1.S-ID.6a: Fit a least square regression line to linear data technology. Use the fitted function to solve the problems.
NC.M1.S-ID.6b: Assess the fit of a linear function by analyzing residuals.
NC.M1.S-ID.6c: Fit a function to exponential data using technology. Use the fitted function to solve problems.
