Upcoming Activities in Regular Math
We will be taking the November CMA on Tuesday, November 20th. Since our Common Monthly Assessments are done every month, there are no retakes for this grade.
Our district emphasis is on writing across the curriculum. After Thanksgiving break, students will be given a writing prompt to write an extended essay. Students will have an entire class period to write. They will be allowed to use their notes, their books, calculators, and other resource material in my room. This is an academic grade that can not be retaken. I will be handing out the writing rubric to them on Monday, November 26.
Because of the timing of the writing prompt, I will be having students take their two timed probes on Tuesday, November 20th. Students should have the two monthly timed probes for August, September, and October in their assessment section of their notebook. They should be reviewing those for their two November Probes. We are looking for a two to four point increase each month on the Application probe (which is the stapled set) and a three to six point increase each month on the Computation probe (front and back). The Application probe is 10 minutes timed and the Computation probe is 8 minutes timed.
Students will be taking a DISTRICT BENCHMARK the first week of December.
