Pre-Algebra Announcements
The entire Pre-Algebra department has decided to go to homework twice a week instead of every day. Generally, assignments will be given on Mondays and Wednesdays and they will be due on Wednesdays and Fridays. The primary reason for this change is to reduce the amount of time spent in class reviewing homework answers, which will free up time in class for students to practice skills and get immediate feedback. Additionally, providing more flexibility in the homework due date (two days to do homework instead of just one) allows students to manage their time. For example, if you have a soccer game on Tuesday night, you could do all of your homework on Monday night and be ready on Wednesday.
This Friday is Jog-A-Thon, which means that all of the classes will be shorter. Because of this, we will have our quiz on Thursday. On Friday, I will be demonstrating a Problem-Based Assessment (PBA). PBAs are district tests designed to align with the Common Core assessments that the state of California is adopting in the 2014-2015 academic year. When we return from Fall Break, the students will complete a practice PBA. The week after, they will complete the actual PBA.
Homework and topics for this week are below:
