I have been working on gearing up the students for the Algebra Regents which is in less than a week. For technology I have been making Castle Learning assignments that need to be completed. These assignments are given to students once a week and take about an hour. I have spent a great deal of time also showing students the regentsprep.org website. This website is great because it has many interactive features that allow students to practice and check their work.
This week my students have taken a final along with working on a Menus project in class. Some new things I added to this menus project were a section that included statistics and probability. Students could be required to create a box and whisker plot from data they collect off the internet. For probability, they would have to conduct an experiment and discuss the differences between experimental and theoretical data. I will keep everyone updated on the Menus Project and how it turns out.
Final Results: 22 out of 45 passed.... a little less than half, but a gigantic improvement.
