Our Typical Day

Each day starts with our bell work and mountain math. A timer is set and afterwards we review our answers.
Each day ends with an "exit ticket" of some kind. Usually a specific set of IXLs skills tailored for each student's individual needs.
For each module:
- - We start with notebook pages to introduce new concepts or refresh our memories of prior concepts
  - IXL skill practice that go along with the current content to practice these new skills
  - PreTest to see what they have already mastered
  - Book work to go more in depth with the concepts of that module
  - Project in which they have a choice of activities to extend the concepts
  - Quiz over concepts at the end of each module so that the students can show what they know

Resources

Texas Go Math!

Our textbook is broken into 2 volumes. It is a consumable from which students complete work as a whole class, in small groups, and individually. There is also an online component that supplies reteach and enrichment opportunities.

Unit 1: Solving Problems with Positive Decimal Numbers

Unit 2: Solving Problems with Positive Fractions

Unit 3: Determining and Generating Formulas and Solutions to Expressions

Unit 4: Area and Volume

Unit 5: Data Analysis

Unit 6: Personal Financial Literacy

IXL

We use IXL on an almost daily basis. IXL helps students practice skills with instant feedback. Students can participate in individual practice or small and large group "jam" sessions. IXL also has a skill plan that is aligned with the textbook that we use.

The diagnostic tool is also used at the beginning, middle and end of the year to measure a range of skills individualized for each student.

Prodigy

Prodigy is a website in which the teacher can assign questions based on what we're working on in class. Students enjoy the game like aspect of the quests and teachers can track the students' progress.

Mountain Math

Students complete daily practice with Mountain Math. It acts as a spiral review and allows me to see where there are gaps in knowledge. The skills are similar each week.
