Got an offer for a sales applications manager role at Cisco and a Strategic AE role at Amazon - both are basically the same pay (130~ base, 220 OTE)
I don’t have any friends at either company so I was curious if anyone has experience and can shed some light on culture/ work life balance to help me make a decision? Thanks for the help guys!

I have a similar class. I use a lot of games to practice foundational concepts (fractions, operations with negative numbers, etc) as well as things I know they will be seeing in class later in the year (graphing linear, solving equations, etc). These are games like Bingo, Math dice, Kahoot, Jeopardy, etc. In the midst of the game, I will stop to go over anything I can see they need instruction on. This process usually gets much better participation than straight instruction and examples.
The 24 game.

Quiz lets. (Let them make some of their own)

If they’ve already failed the class, maybe they’re missing basic foundation skills. I suggest a general math screener to look for holes in knowledge. So far as ‘spicing up’ the lessons, offer choices for assignments. Making a video explaining a problem, illustrating an equation, computer based practice on a site like IXL/Khan Academy, writing their own word problem, correcting problems that include mistakes on purpose, etc. After you choose a few go to activities you can recycle them with each skill that you focus on.
Some of the strategies we’ve used in the past were competencies where the students focused on one concept or standard to pass at a time, manipulative like Algebra tiles, and skill stations to focus on specific gaps.
When I teach remedial, I give an exit ticket every day and a quiz every Friday, both to be returned the next school day. Exit tickets I don’t grade with points—I highlight the first two steps that are incorrect and write the correct work. Quizzes are graded for points and make up their whole grade. I also give credit for work done correctly based on an incorrect earlier step (i.e. if they distribute wrong but everything after that is correct based on their incorrect values all I highlight/take points off of is the first step). And no homework—I maximize our time bell to bell but leave it at that :)
I use prerequisite skills as the bell ringer. Also, my centers focuses on the prerequisite skills, fluency, focus standard (of the week), review (from previous week), learning farm on focus standard, and the teacher center.
Blooket is great and kids love it.
Desmos and geogebra have great activities.
Nearpod allows you to set the pace for students as they complete work.
What about a project?
Have you tried trashketball? Find the mistake problems?
Instead of worksheets or board problems, pixel art or color by problem? There are a few templates out there where you can change problems and answers. Teachers pay teachers has a ton of great free resources, most of which you can tweak.
