Most of my students (Willamette cohorts) still need to learn the quadratic equation which is a huge part of this unit. I will need to find a song or a rhyme for them to make it easier to remember. Students did well solving equations, so that made me feel that I am focusing more on the work and not enough on the importance of it and why they need to know it. Most students at this level know how to solve equations, so it is important that I focus on why quadratics are different and what they need to be looking out for.
Overall I was pleased with the results of the pre-test. I gave my pre-test to my actual students yesterday and they did very poorly (which I expected). Most of them got the true/false and multiple choice questions and missed everything else. I think one person got any question right outside of those and I have tested about 20 students so far. Since most students haven't learned about quadratics before I will be teaching a new concept so it will be fun to see how well everyone does. I have a lot of work to do in the coming weeks as I go teach my work sample.
Here is a link to my results from my cohorts. I had my students in class take it as a paper test.
Just be sure to provide a Shared Link to your actual Summary Results, and as per the example provided in an earlier email, please include these results on your Blog post.
