Kathy I have a block schedule similar to yours and teacher special education math (so very low skills). I would recommend using stations so you have students working independently for short amount of time (15-20 minutes) and it allows you to work 1-1 with students. Here is a great post to help you get started Hope it helps: https://www.prealgebrateachers...See More

Hi, I was wondering, how much homework should I give for one topic? Like, how many questions? In order for students to have deep understanding of the topic.

Thanks heaps.

Not mastering foundational skills

by QoE

Dec 29, 2018

I'm curious. Over the last ten years, I have seen a decline in my incoming middle schoolers' abilities in foundational skills (adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing large and small numbers and decimals). Anyone else seeing this disturbing trend?

Methodology

by Jose

Aug 17, 2018

If all of my 1st grade students can solve x/2 - 4 = 6 before the end of the first semester, am I doing something wrong? Of course, by week 3 of that semester they are adding (without regrouping) up to 999 decillions and by week 5 with carry. Of course, I teach based using beyond the core methodology...

A stack of 9,500 computer cards is to be read by an electronic card reader. A card reader that reads 200 cards/minute begins reading the cards but breaks down before completing the job. A new card reader, which reads 300 cards/minute, then completes the task. If it took a total of 40 minutes to read the stack of cards, how long did the first machin...See More

ks write two equations: x + y = 40 and 200x +300y = 9500. Solve using substitution. 200x +300(40-x)=9500. Then x =25. The first machine worked 25 minutes at 200 cards per minute and the second worked for 15min at 300 cards/min for a total of 9500 cards.
