Khan Academy for April for Mr. Suni’s classes:
On the MSTEP, the 7th grade will be tested on every unit, including Statistics and Probability, which we won’t have had time to cover by the time we take the test. So……..
Each Monday, a new set of Statistics standards will be due on Khan Academy. Mr. Suni will be recommending the required strands each week. Students can see them by clicking the bell on the top right corner of their screen.
If students are in the needs practice range, they will receive an “E” because they haven’t attempting any of the problems. If students are in the struggling range, they will receive a “C” for the strand. Students will need to reach practiced in each standard to receive a “B-” for each standard. They will need to reach level 1 to receive a “B+.” They will need to reach level 2 or mastered to receive an “A.” In order to move up a level they have to finish a Mastery Challenge in that standard. The Mastery Challenge doesn’t show up for the student until 16 hours after they have completed 5 problems in a row correct, with no hints. (So if you are trying to get an “A”, waiting until the last minute won’t work.)
There will be no late grades during the month for Khan Academy.
Since students will be required to be doing more on Khan Academy during the month, there will be less homework given throughout the month.
The different Statistics strands that will be due throughout the month are:
