Standards Quizzes |
Khan Academy |
Students will be taking weekly standards quizzes on important concepts in this course every Friday. Each quarter a list of 10-14 key concepts will be identified and students will be given a quiz that contains 1 question per concept. Once a student gets a concept correct 4 times they will have established mastery on that concept and will no longer have to complete that problem on the weekly quizzes. This will make up about 1/3 of the assessment portion of student grade. Students who fail to progress on these quizzes will be encourage to seek help during SSW and Lunch.
These quizzes focus on Procedural Fluency (SBAC Claim 1) while end of unit tests will be geared more towards Problem Solving, Communicating Reasoning and Modeling with Mathematics (Claims 2,3,4) Students will record their progress on a Standard Quiz Progress Page (this is an example from last year so it may does not contain the current standards quiz concepts) |
Both the 7th grade Accelerated and the 8th grade Algebra class are really dense classes with a lot of topics covered, because of this students accelerating will experiences some gaps occasionally. This can come by topics being omitted due to time or because topics were covered to quickly for complete understanding to occur. This year I am using Khan Academy to bridge some of these gaps. What does this look like:
