Classwork: Investigated reflections through constructions. We also discussed test re-takes: Students must come in at lunch Monday or Tuesday to go over the concepts they struggled with on the test in order to qualify to take the re-take. Re-takes are offered Wednesday & Friday at lunch this week.
Homework: Homework is the reflection practice #1-8.
Discussion Starters: Talk to your student again about how they did on the test and how they feel about their placement in advanced mathematics. I encouraged them to reflect on this and think honestly about their progression through to Calculus AB/BC or Calc 3 senior year. While their grade doesn't matter in terms of GPA at this point, if they are seriously struggling in advanced math now that is not likely to improve next year in algebra 2 and beyond when GPA will be relevant. This group of students has a unique opportunity to revisit 8th grade math with CMP, which is completely different from the algebra class they took last year if they are interested in improved mathematical understanding over all.
