New "Due Date" Spreadsheet


I have changed the format of my weekly assignment sheet to better reflect what lessons and Required Practice Problems are due on which days.


My old format made things more confusing to find what things were due on each day.  I hope that the new format can get rid of that confusion.  If you want to see what a student should be working on in my class for Tuesday, just look at what is due on Tuesday:

Let's become "Proficient" and Khan Academy can help

As we talked in class on Monday, we will be leveraging the Khan Academy (practice)  into our daily classroom activities.  The purpose of this is to give us a way to get more feedback, and in this case, visual instant feedback on many topics that we do on a daily basis.  It will allow you to have a record of your progress so that you know what skills you need to work on, as well as what skills you have mastered.  We need to achieve "proficiency" in our math skills, and this is just another way to help us get there.  Because our classroom has been flipped, we have the time to add these activities to our daily routine.  You can also challenge yourself to achieve the badges and awards that the Khan Academy offers.

Here is the video that I showed on Monday.
