I have looked through your course and find it very inspiring. I know that this is a old post, but I am hoping you are still active.

I don't know how you have time to post all these wonderful materials but I am very grateful as I am using your MFM2P1 spiralling materials to begin the process of spiralling as well. This is a new initiative in the school and I am the first teacher to attempt it, but the only reason I took it on is that I could follow what you have done and modify it as needed. Thank you for making your work available. Could you possibly email me an example of what your assessments look like? I imagine multi step, multi level questions in several categories and a checklist to track which student has achieved which specific expectation. Then I guess those who need to can attempt to prove attainment of specific skills on future assessments. Maybe I'm over complicating things.

For example, Kim went to the fair and it cost her ten dollars entry. She then paid 50 cents for every ride she took! You can also include a card set with restricted domains or ranges, as the scenario suits. Lastly, i would include horizontal and vertical lines into your set. jjfreohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02542088377414079970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5473916205424933781.post-22614418427083924502017-06-27T18:01:04.749-04:002017-06-27T18:01:04.749-04:00One of the work arounds that I've used for onl...One of the work arounds that I've used for only having white paper is to run a marker/highlighter down the edge so that when you cut out the cards, they each have a bit of the highlighted line to differentiate the various groups of cards. It takes a bit of extra time, but isn't bad for group activities like this where you only need a few sets. cbspencerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14236467829116851058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5473916205424933781.post-89498834864583962282017-06-27T16:43:21.327-04:002017-06-27T16:43:21.327-04:00You may well be right about the colors, but lots o...You may well be right about the colors, but lots of teachers barely have enough white paper for copies/handouts.
