Evolving Math Class

This is a two-part math class diagnostic on reading skills for 8th, 9th and/or 10th grade students. Rubric is included for assessing mastery of the cross-curricular standard (CCSS.ELA-Literacy: RI.9-10.1: Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly as well as inferences drawn from the text.) Activity Outcomes: Qualitative Data on the following: Students’ readiness to master word problems (literacy and annotation skills), ability to work throug

Great first day of math class lesson! -Set the framework for the school year with annotations being a tool for reading comprehension during math class. -Students/scholars will use an annotation key to actively read by interpreting, analyzing and making an inference about a math word problem. -The students will use the annotations to reflect on their prior knowledge and eventually they will use the annotations to help solve the problem. What’s Included: *Lesson Plan *Modeling of Guided P

Have students take a reading diagnostic at the end of class designed for the math school year (incorporates reading questions as they relate to math class and using the annotation key with a math word problem, along with follow up questions.) -Students will use an annotation key to actively read by interpreting, analyzing and making an inference about a math word problem. -The students will use the annotations to reflect on their prior knowledge and eventually they will use the annotations to
