Ive used ticket-out-the-

door half-sheets to see
how well a student
understands the material.
This serves as additional
assessment prior to the
actual exam. Just because
students take notes and
attempt the homework,
shouldnt be reason
enough to conclude that
they fully comprehend
the material. These
additional assessment
help clarify this. 9/27/17

We always start our notes

with an essential
question and goal. By
doing this, students are
aware of what is expected
of them for the lesson.
They should begin seeing
a pattern within the goals
of the unit. Our goals
should begin connecting
with every lesson of the
unit. Thus, making it clear
what it is that we wanted
our students to be able to
do once we finished.

Math continuously builds

upon itself so it is crucial
that I plan curriculum
units that connect
lessons. I ultimately want
my students to be able to
see a math problem and
recall how to do it and
why we do how we do it.
We are working hard in
class every day to link

different learning

mainly use the ones that I
notice benefit my
students. Each class is
different, and what may
work for my 4th period
may not work for my 5th

students to be excellent
critical thinkers so I give
them an appropriate
