2/26 Algebra 1 PLC Agenda

Present: Cotton, Masters, Harper, Johnson, Trent, Roy

Calendar Update: MAP windown opens 3/25.  Choosing 3/27 and 3/28 for Freshmen math and do makeups 3/29

Planning:

·         Exponential Functions: Where to start? Where to go with it? What activities? Quiz?   Looked at  DCA 3 to Backward Plan our units and what we would like our students to know and where to go with our unit.   Next time:  Write our assessment and backward plan our unit.

Interventions:

·         Viking time - Masters is conducting Systems, y=mx+b, statistics, absolute value,  

·         MAP Interventions - Roy will create reflection sheets as were used in the winter. Cotton is going to do some quick pull outs based on MAP information.  She is going to pull the "yellow" kids. 

·         Skills Data/Progress Monitoring - Go back to 1 after 12 on the probes.

1/29/19

Attendance:   Cotton, Harper, Masters, Roy

Agenda:

1) Attain - Masters is Staying Wednesdays, Cotton and Harper will stay on Thursdays. Teachers are going to invite students that are failing students. 

2) Backward planning Absolute Value Assessment - Include review questions for: functions,  graphing systems of inequalities (not multiple choice) students choose the method, 

Harper - Question about solving systems - Substitution or Elimination, Roy and Masters agree that they need both.  Substitution for Composite Functions later for Algebra 2 and Elimination for Algebra 2.  In doing the elimination method, scaffold the notes and provide a graphic organizer for the steps.  Do not give them really complicated elimination problems that require multiple steps for the coefficients to match. 

3) Progress Monitoring #11 -

4) Statistics - Where to start?  Topics are decided, where should we start.
