Main Goal
Get your kids to reason, analyze, problem solve, compare, predict, prove…….
To be come good Critical thinkers,
Creative problem solvers, Communicators, Collaborators
-Not just be good copiers who can regurgitate-

In other words…
REALLY think!
![Page 6: Back to School Night 2015/2016 Honors Geometry Alycia Clarkson Room O-203 Welcome!](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697bfc31a28abf838ca566d/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
How?
Textbook is created with this in mind…..Read math- problems imbedded
Write math- explain answers in words
Discuss math- in teams and with whole class
Remember- Problems are spiraled so don’t forget how (see again in new situations at a deeper level)
![Page 7: Back to School Night 2015/2016 Honors Geometry Alycia Clarkson Room O-203 Welcome!](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062805/5697bfc31a28abf838ca566d/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
More on teams…..Students now have multiple resources
available to problem solve, the teacher acting as the ultimate resource.
More complex problems can be solved with the help of others.
Teacher can now give more individualized instruction.
If students can explain their understanding, they definitely know it!

IMPORTANT INFORMATIONTeam Test- Similar to problem solving we do
daily… with higher stakes…. Now they HAVE to perform.No make-ups
(sports absences need to arrange to take theirs before they leave)
Drop the lowest test score each semester (if missed or messed up)
Homework Must get questions answered
Will get full credit when they doMust be done before individual test
