AKINDI

I am a HUGE fan! Grading tests easy and fast. Our school has recently started using this grading system and it is fabulous. Very quick and efficient. Takes the place of scantron sheets and machines. I print bubble sheets for the students and afterwards I scan the sheets and within 5 minutes I get back grades and graphs to show how well the students performed on the test. I highly recommend you get signed up.

Why Akindi?

CHANGING FRACTIONS TO DECIMALS

This seems to be an area everyone needs practice. We will practice this skill starting Monday (likely to be our bell ringer)

ARE YOU READY

Students are getting ready for the next unit on Ratios & Proportions. Today they completed a worksheet from one of the textbooks I use. "Are You Ready?" this worksheet gives students a heads up on what is needed for the next unit making sure they have all the prerequisite skills necessary.

"I CAN" STATEMENTS (RATIO & PROPORTION UNIT)

Our goals for this unit!!!!

FROM PRE-TEST TO POST-TEST

95% of the students had 40% growth or greater on the unit test!!!!!

FRACTION JEOPARDY TEST REVIEW GAME

To play the game students were put on teams. I did not share whose team they would be on. I do this so they do not rely on team mates to get all the bonus points for them. I call on all students during the game and do not let a select few do all the work. At the end of the game I let the class know their teams and how many bonus points they would be getting on the test.
