The students notebooks are also collected at the end of each marking period. Math notebooks will also act as a journal as students are required to write in it at least once a week. Students can write about their thoughts, feelings, lessons or activities they really enjoyed, things they did not understand, what I could have done to help them understand better, and just react to the week as a whole. This will allow me to track their improvement, achievement and feelings and apprehensions about the topic at hand. Homework will be given nightly and will be graded according to the effort they made and the amount of work done, then we will go over the homework as a class.
Homework is important in reflection of that day s material.
This also guides me in assessing how well students understood the content when they are out of class and must think in-depth. The first activity involves worksheets, which will be graded on completeness, correctness and creativity. Participation in any group discussion during this activity will also count in the grade for this activity. A checklist will be used during group activities to assess participation as well as a group evaluation. A Pairs-Check worksheet will be used after the lesson on finding perimeters of polygons and finding the measures of angles of polygons.
