What grade is hardest to teach math? I personally feel like 7th & 8th graders are a special kind of stressful/hard to deal with, but I'm biased since I have one at home 🤣

For me personally the most difficult group is juniors and seniors retaking a math class.

I think 7th and 9th are the hardest. Both groups are known to have behavior issues.

My absolute favorite math time is pre-algebra because it is so pivotal to their future critical thinking.

You must teach in a school where kids behave. JR high got so miserable I left for high school after a long time.

I'd worked with math students from 6-12 through differential equations.
I've taught pre-algebra through cal 2. (No stats or euclidean geometry).
The most difficult thing to teach for me was pre-cal, there is sooo much material that has to be covered (especially stuff they don't teach in algebra 2 that is crucial to calculus) and the pace is insane.
That and kids who look for a calculator when you say "so one minus one is...."

Yes.

I found using GoFormative’s free version to be very helpful in teaching new topics to my students. I embed videos I make demonstrating how to complete a question, next I ask them to complete an example showing work, and then the next question they type their answer so it automatically alerts them to see if they answered correctly. It can be used live in a meet and on an independent virtual day. In my google meets, I’m able to give feedback on any question they have trouble with in real time.

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.
