Remediation by Standard!

Have you ever reviewed the data for an assessment and wondered...

"How in the world will I ever find time to reteach these standards my students are missing!"

I have begun a slow process of creating small remediation assignments aligned to a single standard that you can assign to your students who are struggling to help them fill in the gaps.  These remediation assignments include 3-4 questions for students to work, followed by a video of detailed instructions about working those items, and then finally a 3-4 question quiz over those same item types.

I am posting the first of the remediation assignments today, but will be including others in the near future.  Stay tuned!

Teacher Pay Teacher




Greetings Math Teachers!

As some of you may have noticed, I've been posting updates to my store throughout July.   I have nearly 100 products listed now.

What you may not know is that I have been writing curriculum since the 90's and have amassed quite a collection, so I have started the process of putting some of it in my store (and this is just the tip of the iceberg).

I will be teaching Algebra 2 and College Algebra this semester, so stay tuned for materials that are suitable for those classes, soon.

To keep from overwhelming my followers, I will limit my store uploads to one or two days a week at most (and just a few items at a time) at least until next summer.   I will probably wait until later this month to resume since we are busy with the start of school.

I hope to post here regularly about tips and insights about mathematics teaching.  If you have questions or comments leave them here and I will do my best to reply in a timely manner.

The #TpT sale starts this week, so get your wish list ready.

Let's do this!
