Middle School Math Assessment

THIS IS A DEMO OF A LESSON IN THE COURSE. IT ONLY INCLUDES THE SLIDES, PACING GUIDE, AND THE ASSIGNMENT.

THE ACTUAL LESSON ALSO INCLUDES A PDF ANSWER KEY, AND .JAVA RUNNABLE ANSWER KEY.

THIS WILL ALLOW YOU TO GET AN IDEA OF WHAT THE FULL COURSE LOOKS LIKE!

Hello and welcome!

Are you math teacher and have been thrown into teaching a computer science course? Now you have NO IDEA where to start! Have you taught computer science, but want to try something else? Math and computer science are related, but are not the same!

I have your back. I've been teaching math and computer science, including APCSP, APCSA, and Data Structures for almost two decades. I also teach an introduction course. This is part of the course I made up for my intro students. I have a BS in computer science and know what students need to know.

This is part 0 ("computer people" start counting at 0, we'll learn why!) and part 1 of an introductory Programming in Java lesson. These lessons are meant to be done on the first few days; the idea is to get students doing cool stuff as fast as possible. With Java, that is NOT an easy task.

Topics:

Programming in Java 0: An Introduction to Java

How to start using Java- installing the compiler

General error types

HelloWorld project

All lessons will come with the following:

a pdf slideshow

an assignment, differentiated with three different levels!

A pacing guide with hints for teaching the section and common student
errors

an answer key in pdf form

an answer key in .java form

THE DEMO HAS NO ANSWERS

Depending on your style, you could go over Programming in Java 0 on day 1, then let students play around. Go over Programming in Java 1 the next day and give them the attached assignment. Or you could just give them the slides and assignment and let them play.

Let students explore and make mistakes. Let them talk to each other and discuss their approaches. Programming takes a lot of trial and error.

Great for asynchronous learning and homeschooling! Could be used as a self- taught lesson or go at your own pace! Everything for learning is included!

Welcome to the world of programming! It's going to be a blast!

This is a digital self-checking algebra activity that addresses solving two-step equations with variables on one side with integer solutions. Students solve eight two-step equations in order to reveal a digital image. The problems do not need to be solved in order, but all of them must be solved correctly in order to reveal the image.

This product is made for Google Sheets. You must have access to a Google account in order to have access.

Printable task cards are also included along with answer work pages and an answer key.

I believe that students need to address missed questions on a test rather than just accept the grade and move on to the next topic. This test correction sheet does just that. They have to rework the problem (using their notes) and explain what they did wrong. I love this page!!

If you are looking for an interactive and a "get your kids up and about the classroom" activity, this is the perfect solution! (It's also a great activity for those observations!) Use these 8 task cards, half sheet or small, to get them talking and reviewing how to solve multi-step linear equations! Included are also 3 different classroom activities that you can use with these cards and ANY task cards in the future!

The 8 problems include varying degrees of difficulty, including fractional exponents, negative variables and distribution! They range from 2 step to multistep and will really get your students thinking!

Here is what's included!

- 3 classroom activity ideas

- 8 small black & white Linear Equation Task Cards

- 8 small colored Linear Equation Task Cards

- 8 half sheet black & white Linear Equation Task Cards

- 8 half sheet colored Linear Equation Task Cards

- 1 black & white note-catcher for students to show their work

- 1 colored note-catcher for students to show their work

- 1 Answer Key with STEPS!

Spiraled reviews in a middle school math classroom are a powerful tool that supports retention, reinforces learning, identifies learning gaps, and promotes a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts. By incorporating spiraled reviews into your daily routine, you can foster long-term learning and help students build a strong foundation in mathematics.

Spiraled reviews play a crucial role for several reasons:

1. Retention & Reinforcement
2. Addressing Learning Gaps
3. Long Term Learning
4. Preparation for Standardized Tests
5. Building Confidence
6. Connecting Concepts
7. Preventing Skill Decay
8. Prevent Cramming
9. Differentiation
10. Formative Assessment

Resource List

This resource is a part of my 7th grade skills based curriculum that I am building, this is a work in progress and I will be focusing on 7th grade TEKS this year with hopes to expand to 6th and 8th grade. While I am based in Texas and most of the resources will be aligned with the TEKS, everything I am creating is skill based meaning they are not specific to Texas and can be used by anyone! Take a look through the Resource List linked below to see all that is available, it is a live document and will be updated as I go.

A google doc. that students can use throughout the Integers Unit to keep track of their understanding.

The skills include:

• Finding the Absolute Value of Integers
• Ordering integers
• Ordering positive and negative rational numbers
• Adding Integers
• Subtracting Integers
• Multiplying Integers
• Dividing Integers
• Evaluating expressions with order of operations (medium)
• Evaluating expressions with order of operations (challenging)
• Distributing a negative
• Matching expressions to their corresponding visual representation
• Plotting Points on a Coordinate Plane (all 4 quadrants)

Each skill includes example problems so students can understand what is expected.

Here is an instruction sheet to leave on a table with a deck of cards. Great practice for learning multiplication tables!

Lesson - Area of a Circle

This product includes notes to help introduce or review how to calculate the area of a circle when given either its radius or diameter. This product includes detailed notes for finding the circumference from both the diameter and radius that students can use as an quick reference, 8 practice problems and a 5 question exit ticket.

I have also included 2 versions of this product:

1. Using π=3, this is a helpful method to use for students who may struggle with doing basic calculations by hand or showing students how using 3 as an estimate of pi gives very close approximation of the true answer.
2. π=3.14

Intentions

My goal for my products are for students to have solid, skill based resources that they can go back and reference at anytime. The notes section of my products include a detailed step by step explanation of each problem with all work shown. By including the steps for each skill this will help to comply with various accommodations we must provide our students. The practice section will include skill based practice problems similar to the example and at least one version of the various ways questions are asked. The quick check section will include at least one problem of each type of question that was seen in the practice section. A suggested use of these notes would be:

1. Initial Teach: Review any vocabulary and notes with the students to introduce the topic.
2. Guided Practice: Complete the practice section with students, either as a guided, with a partner, or independently. Review answers immediately.
3. Independent Practice: This will need to be supplemented, I personally prefer having students work on an online program which will provide instant feedback and a variety of questions. I prefer to have students utilize websites that will provide real time support and results to students. Another possibility would be to pair with one of my color by number assignments. This is good option because students have to find their answer on the coloring sheet, if their answer is not there they immediately know that a mistake was made and can has for assistance. Look for corresponding activities in the bundles listed here.
4. Assessment: The quick is a great informal assessment tool, this can be used as either an exit ticket or you may choose to take this as a grade depending on what works for you and your students.

As technology is progressing, there are many fantastic software programs that schools are acquiring, I believe as students learn they must be receiving instant feedback on their work so they can grow and improve in real time. As a result, my products are focused solely on the skill itself. I am only including a small variety of questions for each topic, my intention is for students to use these notes as a guide as they practice and utilize whichever software/online program/additional practice you are providing.
