When it came time for students to come back into the classroom during/after the pandemic, I knew that there would be some kids who had not attended a class in years. Realizing that there would be significant deficits in learning, I decided I needed to up my scaffolding game for the entire classroom. Below are printable anchor charts based on the Common Core standards for 8th-grade math. I have hit on all significant concepts that you would be expected to cover and provide in-depth examples and

every year, teachers struggle to explain the importance of standardized and district assessments like iReady. Being that for most teachers and students standardized testing is non-negotiable, it only benefits us and our classrooms to find some type of meaning in the mountains of data we get from diagnostic tests. This resource allows students to reflect and set goals based on their growth and placement in the iReady math and reading domains. I have found that students find real meaning in these

rationaleI created this resource for my 7th graders as a crash course in test prep in the 5 weeks between finishing standards and the beginning of state testing. I decided that I wanted students to practice working out problems exactly how I was going to expect them to during the assessment as well as get exposure to the CAASPP interface and refreshers on previous content. caaspp sample items and note takingTo meet these needs, I pulled sample items from the CAASPP website that would mirror the

rationalecoming back from covid I was tired of direct instruction teaching and hated the curriculum provided to me at the schools I worked in (so did the kids). I had learned about inquiry-based instruction in my master's program and figured there was no better time to try it out than now when kids desperately need to be reinvigorated at school. This template comes with a ready-to-print answer key, a student packet, and an editable version of the inquiry-based problems. There is 16 total days

In this resource,you will find a "performance task" problem for the Expressions and Equations domain focusing on scientific notation standards for the 8th grade (see applicable standards in the listing). I use these in my classroom at the end of domains to wrap up instruction and have students work on these problems in teams. These problems would also work well during a test prep unit or left with sub plans. I have provided an in-depth answer key and optional scaffolding steps for your diverse l

In this resource,you will find a "performance task" problem for the Expressions and Equations domain in the middle grades (see applicable standards in the listing). I use these in my classroom at the end of domains to wrap up instruction and have students work on these problems in teams. These problems would also work well during a test prep unit or left with sub plans. I have provided an in-depth answer key and optional scaffolding steps for your diverse learners.
