QUIZ TOMORROW OVER SECTIONS 1-1 to 1-3!!
Today we corrected homework from last night and reviewed for the quiz. The kids used clickers for the first time. The clicker is a piece of technology that allows students to do problems and get immediate feedback telling them if their answer is right or wrong. The students were only able to do one or two review problems before the end of class. We will be using them more throughout the year. It is a great tool for me to use to see which students are struggling with concepts covered in class then I am able to work one on one with those students.
We also talked about how to study for a quiz or test. In most other classes you can read over your notes to prepare for a quiz or test. In math however, you need to do more than just read over examples, you need to DO the problems. Before each quiz students are assigned the Checkpoint Quiz from the textbook. This is a great review for a quiz and quizzes are very similar to the Checkpoint Quiz. I told the kids that they should do the problems from the Checkpoint Quiz again and then check those answers. If a student is struggling with multiplying decimals, he or she should go to the Section 1-3 (Multiplying Decimals) and do some more practice problems.
Don't forget to study tonight!! Quiz is tomorrow. Happy studying!!
