Week of September 17:
Monday, September 17:
We practiced correcting student work today, and determining what grade each student should receive in our Standards Based Grading classroom (0-4) based on their work. Students also had to defend the grade they gave each student, just like they were a teacher talking with a concerned parent.

Today was our chance to practice and review for our quiz tomorrow. We had the answers up on the board so that we could check our work, but also knew that we’d have to be able to show all of our steps if we wanted full credit.

Quiz today on 2 standards: Order of Operations and Evaluating algebraic expressions!
After bell work, we asked any burning, last minute questions we may have had about the review we did in class (or finished for homework) yesterday. Then we jumped into that quiz and made sure to show all of our steps and double check our answers!
Once we were done absolutely crushing those two standards, we were given a two sided worksheet to get us prepped and ready to go for the material we’d be getting into tomorrow.

Today marked the start of our next topic for class: rational versus irrational numbers.
We added a couple new pieces to our interactive notebooks and then worked our way through a classification activity.
