Week 9 - PBA

Week 9 - PBA

On Tuesday, all of my students will be taking the district PBA (Problem Based Assessment).  This assessment is not for a grade, but the district may use it as a factor in math placement for next year.  These problems are graded on a rubric system, so rather than a binary "yes" or "no" on points, students will be awarded points for showing work in addition to having the correct answer.

Pre-Algebra Announcements
On Monday, we will begin project delving into two-step equation word problems.  Of the 6 problems, we will complete 2 as a class in class and students are responsible for completing the other 4 on their own.  Students must also choose 2 of the word problems to display on a poster (I will provide the poster paper).  On Wednesday, we will explore solving multi-step equations with variables on both sides.  Thursday is a review day and Friday will be the quiz.
