Math Goals Updated

Goal: Within each week's math lessons, I would like to differentiate instruction into at least three levels.

Activities
1. Use class website to differentiate instructional assessment materials based on MAP scores.
 -I posted vocabulary related to each RIT score on Quizlet. During access time students practiced learning the vocabulary for their RIT score on Quizlet and took a graded computerized test.
-I linked two different websites to my teacherweb.com site. Each contained games and lessons related to different RIT scores and target areas.
-Name tags were made for each student with a target area and a strength area so students knew what section of the sites they should go to.

2. Utilize Part 3 of Everyday Math Lessons.
    -I listed Part 3 activities in my lesson plans.
    -I used MAP cards and activities as my Part 3 Activities in my lesson plans and access lessons.
    -I created a word bank and quizzes for each unit on Quizlet.
    -Examples of Part 3 Activities:
       Unit 1-Using Relation Symbols to Compare Numbers/Searching for Symbols/Solving a Polygon Puzzle/Comparing and Contrasting Quadrangles/Identifying Properties of Kites and Rhombuses/Creating Circle Designs
       Unit 2 - Sharing Country Information/Solving Pan-Balance Problems/Sorting Domino Sums/Number Grid Problems/Using a Place-Value Tool/Recording Data With Tally Marks/Playing Subtraction Top-It/Comparing Family-Size Data/Constructing a "Real Graph"
       Unit 3- Identifying Polygon Properties/Playing Name That Number/Playing Multiplication Baseball/Playing Multitiplication Top-It/Exploring Skip-Count Patterns on the Hundreds Grid/Finding Mean/Comparing the Mean and Median/Creating a Poster/Measuring to the Nearest 1/2 Inch/Playing High Number Toss/Writing Number Models With Parenthesis/Using Fact Triangles
      Unit 4- Using Money to Explore Decimals/Exploring the One/Solving a Decimal Magic Square/Solving Hiking Problems/Exploring the Relationship Between Metric Units/A Measurement Scavenger Hunt/
      Unit 5- Playing Multiplication Top-It/Solving Multiplication/Division Puzzles/Multiplication Wrestling/Exploring Patterns in Extended Facts/Modling Multiplication With Base-10 Blocks/Exploring Big Numbers in How Much Is a Million?/Playing Number Top-It/Playing High Number Toss
      Unit 6- Playing Division Arrays/Finding Multiples of 10 and 100/Playing Beat the Calculator/Playing Angle Tangle/Modeling Angles/Playing Division Dash/Performing a "Magic Trick"
      Unit 7- Naming Fractional Parts of a Region/Playing Grab Bag/Exploring Tangrams/Exploring Fractions that Sum to One/Finding Equivalent Fractions/Modeling Equivalent Fractions/Creating Base-10 Block Designs/Finding the ONE/Dividing Circles into Fractional Parts
      Unit 8- Making a Scale Drawing of Your Bedroom/Exploring Different Polygons with the Same Area/Counting Squares to Find Area/Finding Areas of Rectangles/Exploring the Relationship between the Perimeter and Area of a Rectangle/Solving Area and Perimeter Problems
      Unit 9- Finding 50% of a Square/Exploring Percent Patterns/Solving Discount Number Stories/Solving "Percent-of" Problems/Graphing Survey Results/Solving Number Stories/Solving Division Number Stories Involving Money/Writing and Solving Division Number Stories with Decimals
      Unit 10- Exploring Reflections/Creating a Paint Reflection/Solving Paper-Folding Puzzles/Creating Reflections with Pattern Blocks or Centimeter Cubes/Exploring Line Symmetry/Exploring Tessellations/Creating Freize Patterns/Playing Credits/Debits Game/Using a Number Line to Add Positive and Negative Numbers
      Unit 11- Ordering Weights
      Unit 12- Solving Rate Problems...

3. Provide additional after school enrichment and in class small group remediation.
 -Students in Algebra Club worked on Skill Link Books, Pre-Algebra and/or Algebra Packets after school on Tuesday and Thursday nights from 3:05-3:50.
 -Individuals and small groups worked on Skill Link Book Pages as homework assignments and/or work during choir and math class.
- After every test, students met in small groups for remediation of each skill tested.

Assessment
1. MAP Data - See separate pages.
2. Computer quiz results - Students kept taking the Quizlet tests until they earned at least an "A" for Units 1-9
3. Unit Tests - Each student's Unit Test was graded by skill section. Students reviewed and retested sections that were missed.
4. Reflections (after each unit) - I did reflect in my lesson plans after each unit and many of my weekly reflections are related to math instruction.
5. Student self-assessments - Initially, I used the Self-Assessment Checklist for each unit. However, it was more productive to use a practice test so that I could immediately teach students a skill they did not understand.
