Closing the Math Achievement Gap:
Lessons

PictureClick here to visit the Bridge's Website.
The small group lessons I use, come from the Bridges Math Learning Curriculum.  These lessons are standards based.  In the Spring of 2016, I used the 4th Grade Math Lessons.  In the Fall of 2016, I used the 5th Grade Math Lessons.  Bridges was adopted by Napa Valley Unified School District in 2015.

For flipped Lessons, I use the Ten Marks Math Program.  Ten Marks Math allows teachers to assign lessons that match a grade level math standard.  The students then log in, watch a video, take notes (using my note taking sheet), and then practice with 10-20 questions.  Students are given imediate feedback regarding their answers. If at any point a student is struggling with the practice problems, they can go back and watch the video again.

​An additional resource that I use in my math classroom is Khan Academy.  I assigned each student a Khan Academy account and the students are able to pick and choose the math content they want to work on.  This allows the students to personalize their own learning experiences.
