A fun way to practice multiplication table skills over and over again trough a real-time updated International Multiplication Championship. You will get random 25 exercises,to be solved on the best time you can....
And it feels li...See MoreSeems like every time I turn around, an administrator is saying that we need to assess the students, analyze the data, and then reteach so no student is left behind! The teacher in me does indeed want every student to learn but sometimes it seems impossible to motivate extremely lazy students to actually put in any effort.
And it feels like we are neglecting our higher level students when we constantly reteach at the expense of presenting new material. On the high school math placement test last spring, only a handful of students scored high enough to go into the honors algebra II class in 9th grade, all others had to 'repeat' algebra I.
Having tutored a 9th grade algebra student last year, I can see that our 8th grade "algebra" students are not covering anywhere near the material covered in 9th grade so it doesn't surprise me that they are not doing well on the placement exam.
Sorry if this sounds like ranting, I'm just feeling that it's impossible to cover all the material when assessing, analyzing and reteaching takes all our time.
I hear you about the WON'T learn kids. I told my kids the other day that if they sat through my instruction playing on their phone (not allowed but they sneak them out) or talking to friends, not to come by after school and impose upon MY time to teach it all over again, I simply wouldn't do it.

Can anyone recommend a decent "scissor style" compass (NOT one of those flat bulls-eye things) with a safety point? I don't want more crappy compasses that won't hold a measurement! My principal said we should buy what we need, so I need reviews before I waste our school money on junk. Suggestions?
Staedtler compasses are good and they are affordable. A decent bow compass is not too expensive either. I require students to get a type similar to the Staedtlers. When supply lists go out at the end of the summer I include a picture of the type of compass I expect them to have. One year I offered 10 points bonus on the final exam if students were willing to donate theirs. A couple of students had bow compasses and I gave them 15 points. I have a good supply of them now in my classroom.
