The AIG Classroom

This page is meant to give our families a glimpse into what learning opportunities the AIG students engage in when they come to the AIG classroom. We work on many things throughout the year. All learning opportunities in our classroom are based around student data and PLC discussions with the general education teachers. It is always possible there are things we do that are not listed below. Your best course of action is to always engage your AIG student in a conversation about their AIG work.

Students are working on....

Summarizing big ideas and digging deeper into tier 2 and tier 3 vocabulary

They are doing this by creating 321 Organizers and Hexagonal Thinking posters using different CommonLit Texts. These texts can be accessed in our AIG Canvas class.

Becoming logic puzzle masters

Students are doing this using Perplexor Puzzles and other logic puzzles. Logic puzzles teach crucial skills like critical thinking, problem-solving, logical reasoning, and deductive skills, by requiring them to analyze information, eliminate possibilities, identify patterns, and think step-by-step to reach a solution, enhancing memory, focus, and even creativity. These cognitive workouts strengthen a student's ability to handle complex tasks and make informed decisions in real-life situations.

Solving different digital Math Escapes

These require students to solve complex multi-step tasks in order to finish the escape. Students have to apply multiple math skills at once in order to determine the correct solutions.

Solving Two Truths and One Lie Math Puzzles

These puzzles are focused on interpreting charts & graphs and using math vocabulary. Students must read through different math statements and determine which one is the lie. Then they have to justify and explain their reasoning using complete sentences and math computation evidence.

Writing 1 and 2 step story problems that use the different mathematical operations

This work has proved challenging because students are given the solution and need to work backwards in order to write a high quality story problem. They must use realistic ideas in their story problems.
