Course Format - What to Expect:
This course has been broken down into 3 essential units of study for first semester and 5 essential units of study for second semester. We've done the deep dive into our curriculum to know what is key for students to be successful within the math curriculum while a student at Herscher High School and for success in college readiness. Each week and every unit you can expect the following:
- All homework to be assigned for the week will be digitally released on Google Classroom by 8am the first instructional day of the week.
- See below for the digital resources used for homework collection.
- All homework will be due at 8am the first instructional day of the following week for full credit
- Example: Homework released 8am Monday August 31 is due 8am Tuesday September 8 (Monday is a school holiday)
- Late homework assignments for a unit will be accepted until 8am the day after the unit assessment
- Example: Unit 1 assessment closes at 8am on Thursday September 10 - this is the final turn in for reduced credit for homework for the unit.
Course Digital Resources - What we will be using, how, and why:
To support our curriculum the following digital resources will be utilized:
- Google Classroom - this will be used by students to manage coursework and receive announcement notifications of what is to be worked on each day.
- Nearpod for lesson delivery - this will be used for remote learners to learn the material and shorter versions will be available for in-person students to preview what is coming so they are ready for class.
- Desmos for interactive activities - this is a resource designed by math teachers for teachers to create/use interactive activities. We will use Desmos in the classroom to support current learning objectives and may assign a Desmos activity from time to time for students to dive deeper for conceptual understanding at home.
- Delta Math for practice - this is another ee resource designed by math teachers for teachers to assign practice problems to support the curriculum. We will use this site to create targeted practice that promotes accuracy aligned to each day's instructional topics. This will be one of the main avenues of assigning and collecting homework.
- GoFormative for assessment - this website will be used for collection of work done on worksheets provided in class or digitally and also for all assessments in the course.
