We will start this IN CLASS .  Please finish as homework if you do not complete it in class.

 

End-of-Year Survey

Complete your Survey Project.  

 

 

1) Start your Survey Project. At a minimum, develop your survey question, and collect and organize your data.  THIS IS YOUR LAST GRADED MATH ASSIGNMENT FOR THE SCHOOL YEAR :)

A Sample Survey Project is shown below to spark your creative thinking and provide an exemplar for this assignment. Please do not copy this example, but use it to trigger some ideas of your own.

 

2) If appropriate, prepare for your final Defense on Tues/Wed, May 30 or 31 (Defenses will be taken during math class time.)

HW01) Random vs. Biased Surveys

Write a summary of random vs. biased sampling. Then, write an example of a survey question and method of data collection that would be random and another example of a survey question and method of data collection that would be biased. (The PPT we viewed in class today is attached below.)

2) Prepare for your Defense(s).

Final Defense Date: Tues/Wed, May 30 or 31 (Defenses will be taken during math class time.)  

1) Compare your solution to the Designing a Garden task to the sample response attached.

 

2) Bring a book to class for the rest of the week and we finish up State Testing.

 

Students will not have math homework assigned during state testing (May 9-19).

This is the perfect time to prepare for the final math Defense of the school year!

 

Final Defense Date: Tues/Wed, May 30 or 31 (Defenses will be taken during math class time.)

 

Preparing for the Defense:

□ Attend at least one Thursday PAWs session in the next few weeks (MANDATORY) to pick up a Defense form and make a plan for practicing.

□ Go over your original test and identify mistakes that were made.  Ask for help on problems that you are still unsure about.

□ Practice the types of problems that you missed on the original test.  Do this by:

- re-doing old homework handouts that you can print from this website.

- Asking Mrs. B. to print you another copy of the original test so you can try it again.

- doing a lot of online practice like the problems on the Khan Academy site below. Choose the section(s) that relate to the concepts you are studying.

https://www.khanacademy.org/math/cc-sixth-grade-math

NOTE: Students may choose which concept category to defend based on their test scores from this semester (CC5 through CC9). Students may only take one Defense on Tues/Wed, May 30 or 31 and this will be the only day that CC9 will be offered.

If a student wants to take a second Defense (other than CC9) before the end of the school year, then they should reach out to me and request another date for the second Defense. This second Defense will likely be scheduled to be completed after school during the week of May 22-25.

STUDENTS WHO NEED EXTRA HELP:

For students who need extra support in the Accelerated Math 6 class, the following options are available every week:

PAWs on Thursdays: This is typically used as practice time on our current concepts.  Students work on Active Practice that we started in class, but they feel they want more time on it.  I am here as support to students, and this is student-centered. Kids need to come to PAWs ready to work.

For the next few weeks during PAWs, students will be practicing Decimals concepts to prepare for the CC5 Defense.  They will be given choices of practice, and students will choose what to work on depending on the results of their original test. 

After School on Mondays: Typically Monday after school is a time for students to bring work to me that they are having trouble with and we can talk through it (so it caters a little more to students' needs at the current moment). This requires students to come to my class with an intention ("I was having trouble with this type of problem on homework."  OR "I got this problem wrong on the Goal Problems."). Focusing on the errors that students have made is a key approach to helping them build their understanding, so students should come to Monday after school help with samples of their work.
