Math Tips from Mrs. Lathinghouse
Planning for Concept Development in Eureka Math
1) Begin by looking at the MAFS grade level standard(s), the Exit Ticket, and the Mid/End Module Assessment.
2) Ask yourself, “What will students need to understand after I teach this lesson?” and “Are there any questions/problems that could be combined/omitted for time’s sake?”
3) Use a timer to ensure that you have enough time to get through the CD and still have time for the Problem Set, Debrief, and Exit Ticket.

While the main focus of parent-teacher conferences should be academic achievement, it's also important to discuss factors that can affect learning, such as students' behavioral and social development. Other topics might include standardized test results, special needs (accommodations for IEPs, 504s), peer relationships, classroom behavior, motivation and work habits, as well as students' strengths and challenges.
