The students had a math assessments for PLC time later this week. The subjects: expanded, exponential, and scientific notation. I corrected them and was disappointed to see that they did not remember scientific notation AT ALL! Hey, wait a minute - I just taught you this on FRIDAY! How do you not even remember being here for it (I had 3 people swear that they missed that lesson, even though I remember them being there). I was starting to get a complex about it all, until Kristen reminded me that it was the first time they had seen scientific notation - and they probably just forgot the name of the skill.
Adam got everything correct (4/24 in the class to get them all right), Penny will be in the scientific notation group (with the majority of students in the grade), and Nick will be reviewing both exponential and scientific notation. It's so interesting that last week they were all in the same group, and now they're in totally different groups.
I reviewed my unit with Amy and she seemed very impressed with the lessons and materials. YAY! Now I have a million copies to make!
In math, Nick looked confident when working in pairs. He was contributing to the work during group/table work time.
