It amazes me to know we are rolling into our 4th week of school and already so much has been done! I promise I will not complain about a school year flying by! The first part of the year in math is always spent reviewing concepts from the previous year and adding a level of complexity to that. For instance, my students who are reviewing decimal operations now have to work with those same operations, but they will need to round, deal with repeating numbers, or positive and negative signs with their work. One thing I've incorporated into my lessons this year is the use of Interactive Notebooks. There are TONS of free resources on the web for doing this thanks to so many awesome educators. I research all types of graphic organizers and foldables and incorporate them into my units so that my students are essentially creating their own study guides for quizzes and tests. One of my new favorite finds is used to solve equations whether they are one step, two step, or multi-step.
