1.Strategy: To show correlation between $ and measurement, based on number of place value system. Begin with placement: 10's, 100's, etc. whole numbers, and 10th's, hundredths, etc. - use $ coins: penny, nickel, dime, etc.to as the example then tie in to decimals in general -problem: You go to the bank, cash a check. You got 3 pennies, 5 nickels, 1 dime, 3 quarters, 4 1 dollars bills, 1 $5, 3 $10. How much money did you receive?

2. Line up decimals for add and subtraction

9/22/10 Next section Strategy -Multiplication of decimals Begin with multiplying 2 numbers like 6.25 x 1.1. Note: one of the multipliers should use only 1 and/or 2 e.g: 6.25 x 1.1 It is felt that the multiplication process with overwhelm students if they have multiply by anything above 2. Our main purpose is to help them learn how to use the decimals.

Each day, change the problem, e.g. 6.25 x1.01, then 69.56 x 12.01, etc.

SMART goal 11/17/10: Increase Proficient to 53% by post assessment

Strategies:


 * 1) Begin with "large" steps first.
 * 2) Break down each "large" step into its sub-steps
 * 3) Use Cornell notes format

__Directions__: Below is a list of steps required to complete a spreadsheet that pertains to the sales results of a company, and of individual salesmen. The steps are jumbled. Please reorganize the steps and put them in numerical order. In other words, what is the first logical step, what comes next and so on.

NOTE: The placement of a header on the paper, grids and column and row headings, and formatting money amounts is important, and must all be done to produce a finished document, but will not be considered below. In other words, it does not matter when you format, just so you do.

__Create a formula to add up the sales for the first salesperson.__

__Adjust column width to suit the requirements of your data and labels.__

__Enter the raw numbers and labels into the exact cell locations on your spreadsheet.__

__Create a formula that adds up all the individual sales totals to attain a company wide total.__

__Copy formulas to derive sales totals for the other individual members of the sales force.__

__Print__

__Proofread, edit.__

__PD 1/19/11 Explo. Carpentry__ __The percentage of **Exploratory** students scoring proficient or higher in **processes** will increase from__ __30%__ to _40%_ by ___March 2___as measured by __written test__ administered on __February 28__. The focus is to assess students’ understanding of the steps in using the handsaw BEFORE they actually handle the tool (pre-assessment). Then, after they have finished a few of days of work with the tool in the shop, have them write down the process again. The secondary focus will be on relevant vocabulary: //handle, blade, teeth, kerf// 1. Clamp the piece of lumber to a table with two clamps. 2. Place left hand on the piece of lumber. 3. Place the handsaw on the piece of lumber, so that the teeth about two inches from the handle rest on the wood 4. Pull the saw towards you. 5. Repeat these steps twice more. This begins the kerf cut. 6. Do the same thing a fourth time, but this time push the saw forward. Make sure the blade is lined up with the cut line. 7. Continue to pull and push the saw back and forth until the blade has cut all the way through. 8. Be sure to slow up at the end and cut lightly. Outstanding: Lists all eight steps and correctly uses all four vocabulary words Proficient: Lists all eight steps and correctly uses two of the four vocabulary words OR Lists less than eight steps, but correctly uses all four vocabulary words. Partially Proficient: Lists less than the eight steps and correctly uses at least two vocabulary words. Unsatisfactory: Lists less than eight steps and uses no vocabulary words correctly. Outstanding: 2 5% Proficient: 5 14% Partially Prof: 4 11% __Unsatisfactory: 26 70%__ Total Sample 37 100%

1. Create posters of the tools and place the posters around the room and shop. 2. Have students discuss what they are doing in the shop using the terms. 3. Teacher-directed questions in the shop as they are working. 4. Ticket out: Have students write down what they did using the vocabulary (one or two sentences), then share with one another.
