Thursday warm up: number sense

For your assessment: how will you record and check student understanding at centers, are you going to use a checklist or anedotal records? You also wrote that their homework will be collected and graded. It is a great idea to check their homework, but I would caution you in using this as a grade due to the fact you can't tell how much parent assistance was given.

- Breaking the class into two groups worked effectively. - The number line activity wasn't as engaging and active as I planned it to be. I would like to have made the intervals between the numbers wider so that students can actually jump from number to number. - The center activity worked a lot better than Wednesday. The activity was more interactive and hands-on for them in that they actually used dry erase markers to write on the problems. Carrying it out in smaller groups made it easier for me to assess student performance as well.
