Any high school math teachers who have returned to the classroom, what schedule are you using with your students? How well is it going?

He are on a hybrid schedule so half the kids come in on Monday and Thursday, the other half on Tuesday and Friday and then we are all virtual, asynchronous on Wednesday. We’ve been on a half day schedule since the beginning of the year but we are moving to a full day on Monday after spring break.

So 4 days a week I teach to both in school and virtual students, I’ve found GoFormative, DeltaMath, Jamboards, sharing a slide with the class, and Desmos to be most helpful so I can see what everyone is working on from my computer and address questions and concerns as I see them pop up in student work samples.

Also wondering what curriculum is being used, if any, in your classrooms

Welcome to our pre-k inclusive classroom. Even with 8 students, and only face to face for 4 hours, we struggle. We struggle being heard through our masks. We struggle with social distancing. We struggle as we find ourselves constantly reminding students to keep their masks on. We struggle to keep them engaged and to teach. One thing we do not struggle with- building connections and showing out love for each child.

I finally was able to convince my principal that we need a consistent math intervention at the MS level (grades 5-8). (Right now, we are just "doing our own thing," which isn't helping students progress much.) Does anyone have any suggestions? It would be beneficial to have some sort of progress monitoring tool as part of the program, if possible. Our classes run roughly 55 minutes (which is too long for an intervention, in my humble opinion).

Thanks for any advice.

What’s your opinion on math homework? I teach 4th grade and have always given it but I’d like to see what others do and weigh out if it’s really worth it. If I give it, I feel like I should spend class time going over it but on the other hand I stress myself out trying to keep the absent work organized and those that don’t even do the work.

I’m teaching summer school at a high school, and the co-principals have asked me to focus on only 2 to 3 chapters worth (what they are calling “2-3 standards” in the eight days of summer semesters. However, they are also asking me to give kids the midterm and/or final at the end of each period, which covers 4-5 chapters each semester. My question is this: “Is it legal by California Ed code for the administration to ask me to teach less than each entire semester, yet test each whole semester?”
