Early testing, ongoing assessments,
differentiated instruction and teacher
observations all serve to provide
optimal placement of students. We
want to ensure students are fluid in
the language of Algebra before
progressing to Geometry, which is
sometimes offered in eighth grade to
qualified students.
Differentiation
Teachers may "flip" classwork and
homework lessons. Providing video-based
lessons for students review at home
allows time in school to review, rewind,
and absorb lessons so more class time can
be devoted to one-on-one instruction,
working through problems, and answering
questions.
Flipped
Lessons
Every March 14 (3.14),
Barnesville Middle Schoolers
celebrate Pi Day with
interactive math activities and
fun contests that highlight the
role math plays in our
everyday lives. Some students
work to memorize as many
digits of Pi as they can, while
others show off their baking
skills and bring in pies. Every
year, we put a new twist on Pi
Day — the possibilities are
infinite!
