Hi, Stephanie! That is so short! I think you do one warm up question, straight to notes, and students start on their practice (which turns into homework). Then maybe once a week students complete an activity instead of learning new information. Best of luck!

So smart!

I would be super interested in this too!

Hi Bailey! I don’t right now, but that is a great idea!

Hi Noelle,

Do you have the teacher forms pack on TPT?

Hi Sarah, I think with 45 minutes you are going to have to limit your small groups to just one, possibly two. I would suggest trying to pull your small group on Fridays, so that you could help fill in any gaps from the week. Once you have a good system with one group, once a week, try adding in another day or group. Good luck!

Do you have any suggestions on how to structure 45 minute M-F periods? I want to incorporate small group time and rotations into my 8 Pre-Algebra class, but am struggling to work out a schedule that could be fairly consistent.

Hi Asia, thanks so much! I just mean the that solutions are all mixed up. A little different than self-checking where is would actually tell you that the answer to each specific question. Hope that helps!

Noelle, We have a block schedule so the students get 112 minutes of math every other day. I break up the time with a warm-up/problem solving, review of previous material, new material, and then practice of new material which could be independent, small group or whole class game/activity.

Hi Aubrey! That is actually a sample from my substitute binder. It is pretty streamlined for subs. Here is the link if you are interested: https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Substitute-Binder-Secondary-Teacher-Binder-for-Subs-1309633

I am working on a teacher forms pack and will be sure to share it when its ready. Thanks!

Shari, 112 minutes is so long! How do you break up your class period? Have you tried using stations or working with small groups? Does every student on campus get 112 minutes of math? I would love to know more.
