Re: Done Assessment Center!
Posted by Suzanne on 5/13/08

    Hi -
    I also am from an area with little support. I used the NCTM
    Principles and Standards book, I would actually really
    recommend a book called Math On Call and a book called Algebra
    To Go, they are both from Great Source publishing. I use them
    for my students but found a brush through those books very
    helpful, I also went through each of their glossaries
    thoroughly and made sure I new everything.

    Like I said, I found it very helpful to know the score 4
    rubrics so on each section I already knew what I was doing and
    I didn't feel like I needed to waste my time referring to the
    screen on the left hand side.

    What grades do you teach? I teach 7-8.
    Suzanne
