Shannon's Shareouts

This claim sheet requires students to use the 8 Mathematical Practices as they understand, solve, model and explain and argue that their thinking is correct. I has been using this sheet for over twelve years and I average 40 % growth on SBAC state testing.

A set of Making Thinking Visible routine graphic organizers for students to show their thinking and connections. These can be used as a unit or individually depending on the teacher's or students' purpose. Most of them are set up as thinking maps with a text box for writing questions, commends or feedback during sharing/discourse time.

This graphic guides students through the language use target of grammar.

Make the 8 Mathematical Practices easier to remember. When students say that they finished I remind them to make sure they completed their DOTS. Does each answer need a drawing? Did you organize your work and show structure? Did you talk about your thinking through written words? Does your thinking and answer make sense? Now I say, "Check for DOTS" and often give DOT candy for each standard achieved.

This graphic organizer can help students learn the parts of a constructed response when answering a text dependent question.

This math claim sheet was designed for students to show their thinking of claims and mathematical practices.

These posters are for hanging in your class to remind students of the college and career goals. I point each standard out as students work on them. It has helped some students focus having a label on what and why they are doing what class demands of them.

Help your student learn to write complete short response test or essay questions with evidence.

This sheet helps give students sentence frames for complex talking.
