A Last Effort Before Tomorrow's Chapter 2 Summative Test
Home Nugget #32
Assigned on Wednesday October 28, 2009
Due on Thursday October 29, 2009
Tonight's assignment(s) reflect an ongoing belief that students need lots of varied exposure to math concepts if they are to have a chance at both understanding and mastery.
The long-term guide to chapter 2 is due tomorrow and students are reminded that it counts as a 50 point quiz grade. The directions were provided last Thursday so much opportunity has been afforded to get it done.
This evening's new challenge is to reinvent and solve 10 word problems from a practice sheet I originally created for students on Tuesday. (there are problems involving test grades and insects, percent changes and solving for specific variables)
Students have done this sort of assignment before and there seems to be general agreement that being forced to keep the characteristics of the problem the same and alter the values and outcome is an invaluable exercise towards true understanding of content.

Two Days Before Our Summative Test on Chapter 2..
Home Nugget #32
Assigned on Tuesday October 27, 2009
Due on Thursday October 29, 2009
Guide-to Chapter 2. Directions were provided on Thursday of last week so students have had an enormous amount of time and opportunity to work on this long-term assignment.
The rubric for grading the lesson is on the direction sheet itself. Furthermore, the guide-to is counted as a 50 point quiz grade. Completing the guide in genuine way leads to two positive outcomes:
1. The student earns a high score on an assessment
2. The student is preparing themselves for the summative test on chapter 2
